"When I got there the lady at the front desk (Beatrice) was the best. I slept so good . The beds where soft but firm the trains that go by is so pleasant . As a young boy I used to fantasize I was a train operator. That’s what the train horn did for me. It brought me back to my childhood. They have complimentary breakfast which I needed . It’s not fancy but it’s healthy and so gracious in given time the customers a sure time to eat. So if you are budgeting or spending money like it’s nothing …this business has my support and I will be back . Thank you Jack London Inn"
