In A Room at the Inn: My Journey Through Hospitality, John takes readers beyond the hotel lobby and into the world of hospitality, sharing what it really takes to manage a thriving hotel.

Written with humor and warmth, A Room at the Inn is a teaching memoir that combines lessons from life as a hotel manager with memorable stories highlighting the value of leadership, community, and connection.

Whether you're a seasoned hotelier, a curious guest, or dreaming of a career in hospitality, A Room at the Inn will offer you a unique, heartfelt, and often surprising perspective on what it truly means to serve others in the hospitality industry and beyond while building a legacy of leadership and excellence.
