California Inn

A residence hotel in the North Vista City area. Once a cursed hotel that no one could ever leave. 
The California inn is done in generic style, for it's day. it is a two story building, shaped like a long rectangle. The narrow side faces the street. it was built in 1948. the second floor is all guest rooms. the bottom front has floor to ceiling picture windows and hold a a common area with over stuffed chairs and couches . There are book shelves, magazines and TV up in one corner. the middle lower deck holds a kitchen and a small diner. The diner is open during business hours to serve all meals. the back rear is storage. the rooms are old fashioned , but well preserved. 
The 1940s style building operates primarily as a boarding house. It offers reasonable housing rates to long term transients or even those that choose to live there permanently. 
==The Curse==
From 1969 to 1999, the hotel was the location of a cursed artifact, the sign-in ledger of the Original Hotel California circa 1886. Once the victim signed the ledger, he was transported to a pocket dimension that was a complete replica of the hotel, standing on a gray plain in a gray fog. People attempting to flee the hotel found the fog growing painful, like acid burns. Pressing further ramped up the pain to unbearable levels. One would-be escapee was heard screaming for days after he fell, out past where anyone else could retrieve him. food, water, electricity, sewage were mysteriously supplied in the gray place, but TV could receive no signals.
The solution to the trap was the cross your name out of the register.

*¨Easy" -- A biker that was one of the trapped people at the hotel. He had taken up being the cook at the restaurant. Once the curse was ended he kept with the job. A man proud of his simple and satisfying work.
