A term describing when a long term couple breaks up, but can't stop getting back together multiple times. Derived from the line in the Eagles song, "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave."
My roomate keeps wanting to get back with his ex-girlfriend, but I keep telling him, "Come on dude, check out of the Hotel California once and for all!"
How long have they been going out? It seems like forever! Naw, they're broken up but I think they're gonna start a Hotel California Relationship now.
