Pre-Apocalypse
The hotel is a multistory building which is located on the coast of Baja California, Mexico in the city of Rosarito. During the initial stages of the outbreak, the hotel was hosting a wedding reception and is managed by Elena Tobar.
Post-Apocalypse
After the outbreak, the hotel was barricaded by either the hotel staff, the wedding guests or the hotel guests (or a combination of all three). The effort of barricading the hotel appears to have been in vain though.
When Victor Strand, Madison Clark et al make entry to the hotel, they find the front door barricaded, the lobby empty and the sagging remains of a wedding cake.
When Alicia Clark and Ofelia Salazar explore the upstairs hallways, they find them strewn with clothes and luggage. They find and infected man hanging in a room and wonder if he committed suicide.
Meanwhile, Victor and Madison are drinking in the hotel bar, where Madison confesses that her husband, Stephen Clark, actually commited suicide. In a fit of frustration, she begins smashing glasses while Strand starts playing the piano. The noise attracts the attention of Infected trapped in a gift shop across the road, as well as infected in the hotel.
Alicia witness' several infected walking off the balconies of their rooms, drawn by the sound Madison and Strand are making.
Victor and Madison become trapped in the hotel bar by the infected.
Later Alicia and Ofelia Salazar were separated.
