"As soon as i walked in the room “I said I’ll be back” before I laid down or otherwise. The Jack London Inn is what a traveler needs. First, courteous staff, clean rooms, breakfast (free) . That’s it. I uncanny more business do that. If anyone kno s in life or business if you are genuine to your fellow man or woman then the probability of that person becoming an ally to you or cause stays in the highest percentage. In the end , sleep well and to all a good night."
