Flop house

The Jack London Inn was a flop house with prostitutes and illegal activity. There was cigarette and Marijuana smoke throughout the floor. The condition of the hotel was dirty with deferred maintenance.

The rooms and hallways all smelled of marijuana, cigarettes and bleach. A lot of the doors don't work, and the elevator is rancid. Nothing is cleaned, and when it is, it's sticky and done poorly. Reviews online are a lie, I would never stay here again. would give zero stars if i could
