Surprised you put up those two together...
I played hotel california so much when younger I can not stand to listen to that song ever again.
But numb is still a song that can be played again.
.... which is the better song?
Musically and/or lyrically?

It depends on the experience or location.
Nonetheless, "Comfortably numb" is greater, and "Hotel California" is better, if that makes sense.
If I wanted to have a good time, I would choose "numb," but I would almost never want to listen to it alone without hearing the whole album. "Hotel California" would likely give me a bang.
"Goodbye blue sky," and "Empty spaces" from The Wall are greater and greater than (better) "Take it to the limit."
Or, it's all just relative.
I agree about "The Wall" - the songs are not impactful (or as impactful) as stand alones. It's a story so should be listened to in it's entirety.
Hotel California is great, but they stole the chord progression from Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. And the solos are really tedious. Comfortably Numb has a generic Bm progression, but the solos are inspired despite being mostly chord tones.

Well better to compare equals, I think - maybe a better comparison or competition would be:
Comfortably Numb or Nights in White Satin?
