Adam Kamlet, inn frequenter and winner of the $500 promotion prize, chose the Brewery Gulch Inn of Mendocino as his all-time favorite.

Samuel Johnson once said that 'There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn. The timelessness and truth of this 18th century British writers statement is still enjoyed by inn stayers around the world," said Sakach.
