Yes, Natalie, I agree with you that the song can be interpreted in different ways. I never thought of the hotel symbolizing a rehab, but once I heard the song I could see why. I always thought that the hotel was a metaphor for a new place or country that someone has arrived to. In this new place there are opportunities and luxuries that the newcomers are amazed by. In the song he talks about wanting to see his wife, but is not able to because she is back home. He wants to go back home, but cannot because of opportunities that this new place has to offer.
