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

Good enough for the price!

This hotel is not for the faint of heart but if you can handle any Motel 6, you can handle this. The lobby experience can be a bit intense (front desk staff were awesome though), then you have to navigate the utterly depressing hallways to your room. However, once in your room, it's wasn't too bad considering what I paid. I didn't have air conditioning and unfortunately you cannot open the windows in the front of the hotel but I expected this. My room was a little beat up but clean enough. Running the fan on high drowned out the general noise of the hotel and the trains. My only real complaint was that my fan was FILTHY, those things could maybe use a bit of a dust. This was my second stay here.
