Which accommodation to choose in California? Where is the hotel from the Eagles’ ‘Hotel California’ album cover, and can you stay there? Camping or unique lodging in national parks?

In this section, I will share my favorites, charming hotels to try at least once in your life during a trip to California, my good addresses, and my budget-friendly accommodation tips.
