    A short guide to Oakland

    The bay separates Oakland from San Francisco and the Bay Bridge links the two. On the waterfront, people gravitate to Jack London Square to shop, dine, or catch a jazz show at Yoshi’s. Gondola rides offer a unique way to enjoy Lake Merritt. Chinatown and the African American Museum illustrate the city’s diversity. Victorian buildings in Old Oakland and Preservation Park provide a link to the past.

    Clearly this motel has not been remodeled in some years, but all furnishings were in good condition, the room was clean, and the service at the front counter was acceptable. You are not going to impress anyone here, but it is across the street from the Jack London Square and there is no better combination of value and location if you are attending an […] event there.

    Everything's bad, but above all else there is the amtrak line in front of the hotel. It comes thru every 15 mins or so. The sound is defening and it shakes the whole hotel.

    We checked in at 3:15pm, the front desk person didnt have a list of clean rooms , therefor they couldn't check anyone in, there were about 8 people trying to check in. It took 30-45 min. People were pretty upset! Once they starting checking us in, guests were coming back to the lobby complaining of no towels , shower not working, when we finally got […] to our room we had no blankets & 2 bath towels , no face clothes nothing. Luckily my friend had brought some blankets & her own towel. around 2am there were people yelling & fighting in the parking garage & at 6am someone was honking their horn over & over. For a long time, I believe they were tryin To get the hotel to unlock the gates to the parking garage so they could leave. Lastly the Amtrak is right next to the hotel & that started around 8am every 30 mins or so. This place is in dire need if a reality -show face lift, ha! Read more

    The suite doesnt look anything like the photo on the Hotel Website. I stayed in a suite this weekend and although, it was a non-smoking room, the room reeked of cigarette smoke and the refrigerator had cans of beer stored in it that were the leftover of past guests. Also, there wasnt a coffee pot, clock radio or decent basic amenities available. The […] towels too were limited. Also the shower head didnt work properly and it was difficult to distinguish the cold section from the hot section on the control. Also the water in the shower clogged up immediately after I turned the water on. I was very disappointed with my stay at this Inn. I believed that they lied about representing their hotel as a nice place to stay because it was anything but nice. Read more

    Well as a native of Oakland, it is always great to come home for a visit from time to time. I have never stayed in any of the Hotels in Jack London sq before, So I was very excited to have the opportunity. That excitement diminished upon entering my room. lets just say, that I was very surprised at the small level of quality of everything associated […] with the appearance from the outside inwardly. This is a historic building and great location. There should be better upkeep, and a professional managing staff for this area. The staff except from the housekeeping were not uniformed, and were very laid back in the most unprofessional appearance. They were pleasant, but just very common for the location. The resident restaurant I give the same rating. I waited 25 minutes to be ignored before seated. (you never know who you are entertaining). So I headed up the street to a neighboring restaurant, and was seated and served in 10 minutes flat. Would I stay here again? if I have no other choice, possibly. Hopefully next time, I wont have one of the Managers barge into my room because he didnt know anyone was assigned to be there. Read more

The whole floor was a fishbowl. GROSS!!!!! When I checked in my room the following were missing or badly broken: a comforter, towels (I had to ask for them 7 […] times over the 2 nights I was there), pictures on the walls (it looked like someone stole them and left the nails), a phone, a trash can, the handle on the door was broken, the curtains were only half attached, and the bottle opener had been ripped off of the vanity. *The heat wouldn't turn on Read more

    this was the worst hotel i have ever stayed in in my life. not only was it of abhorrent quality, the staff/management were totally apathetic and unhelpful the entire time. from no towels, to all night room parties, it was a disgusting and LOUD place to stay. everyone was getting high (even the front desk staff) and it seemed to be a place for the shadiest […] of people. dont stay there unless you are looking for weed and a $25 hooker.

    Very bad! We checked in almost at mid night on the first day, the room was smelt so bad that I had to rush to Safeway to buy the air refresher to kill the stinky smell. And the pillows had no pillow cases, so the next day I asked the front desk "Did your hotel provide the pillow cases to the guest?" And also they didn't clean the room every day, when […] I came back at night on the third day, I found my room didn't clean, so I went to the front desk and asked the reception girl, she told me" they didn't clean the room every day, but every other day, your room will be cleaned tomorrow." I said but I will be checked out tomorrow and I paid the room every day. so I walked away I know I didn't want to waste my time to argue with such terrible peple. So, if you want to stay with this hotel,think twice before make a decision! Read more

    Despite reading the other reviews, I booked the hotel. I assumed people writing such nasty reviews were high maintenance or had unrealistic expectations of a budget hotel. NO. I wasn't in this room for more than 15 minutes. To only briefly discuss what we discovered was - an intense mold smell, yellow stain on the sheet, bed spring ripped open with […] black stuff lingering, stains and cigarette burns on the blanket, no pillow cases? This room felt completely unsanitary. I was truly afraid to sit down. Please, save yourself any hassle and don't book this hotel. I will say that when we decided to check out, the front desk staff was accommodating and the customer service at Hotels.com got my money back in a very timely fashion. Read more

    While the room was clean enough, the hotel was just in a state of disrepair. Also, the cleaning staff was very lax, never left a complete set of towels for the 4 days I was there. The front desk staff was not very welcoming or helpful.

    I'm not a picky person but this "hotel" is disaster. The bathroom was broken and so dirty. If you want to remember it until end of your life, just try it. No breakfast! Believe me don't go for it you will be regretted

    When my husband and I first booked this hotel we saw that it was basically on the waterfront and thought it was a great deal, we booked right away. While walking down the hallway to our room we noticed that the carpet was unusually dirty and stained, as we entered our room we received a waft of bleach, the room had just been "cleaned. The sliding glass […] door that led to the balcony was unlocked, my husband commented a sarcastic something about "that's safe", and we walked out onto the patio to look at the pool we were so eager to jump into... I would not have let our dog swim in that water; it was filthy and looked as though it hadn't been cleaned in a few years. We went back into the room and sat on the bed, immediately jumped up because the sheets were damp and sticky. I've seen cleaner bathrooms traveling across country in cheap gas station bathrooms. For a kick we checked out the drawer space as well, there were other people's clothes in the drawers. We took a walk along the bank and decided to have dinner in this chic little restaurant. When the waitress found out where we were staying she said that she had read that the hotel had been rated as the 6th dirtiest hotel in the country; however, after my husband looked it up on his phone, he told me that it had actually moved from 6th to 2nd in the dirties hotel competition. Needless to say we moved out immediately and went to stay in another hotel. Read more

    I was very disappoined with this hotel. We wanted to stay somewhere with a pool, so we chose this spot. But when we arrived they told us that the pool hadn't been working for months and that we could not use it. The trains were noisy and kept us up all night, as did the people partying next door from 2 to 4 am. I strongly suspect that there was a lot […] of prostitution going on as well. This is not a good place for children or really any decent person who wants a good night's sleep (and a swim!) Read more

    The hallways reek of cigarette smoke. We checked in late at night. Large containers of garbage were abandoned in the hallway. Our room smelled of cigarette smoke and mustiness. Only one faint lightbulb in the room. Electronic lock hanging by a wire from the door. Told reception room was unacceptable- they sent us to a room that was slightly better. […] Lights worked but the room was stripped bare of all ammenities beyond a lamp. Had it been earlier than midnight we would have fled then. Curtains failed to close adequately and there were no drinking glasses available. We checked out first thing in the morning. UGH! Their website is misleading. Beware! Read more

    Despite the noise from the constant trains going by across across the street, we managed to sleep well. The room itself was decent (can't complain when we were just looking for the cheapest place around). Overall, a positive experience!
