I reserved a room at this hotel based on the pictures and reviews online. Upon arrival, I was not overwhelmed by the outside appearance if the hotel. But once I got out of the elevator, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was even nicer than the pictures online. The cleanliness and the condition of the seemingly recently remodeled room was excellent. […] The person who cleans the rooms and makes the beds is definitely a perfectionist. If I need to stay in the area again, I will most likely stay here. Read more

Nice hotel. Very unaccommodating if you are a cigarette smoker. But a pretty nice hotel none the less. very comfortable beds and pillows BONUS!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A good value, close enough to the Convention Center at the Marriot Downtown for an easy walk (8-10 min.) to the conference I attended, nice grill/restaurant right next to the hotel. Nice pool and central courtyard pleasantly landscaped with bushes and flowers.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Adequate, friendly but close to railroad tracks. Had a back room on discount so the noise level was high.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was nice and quiet, bed was really comfy, close to ferry and restaurants, within walking distance to farmer's market, which was fun. Hotel is older, but was nice and clean, pool area was clean and pretty.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It is obviously an older hotel but they have redecorated. The bed was super comfy, great pillows. Had a room inside by the pool and it was nice and quiet. Everyone was really nice and I would recommend it to anyone coming to this area.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We enjoyed our stay, especially the pillow top mattress with extra pillows. Staff very accommodating. Covered parking was $14.00 extra. The trains down the street blow their horns a lot. I used earplug and it was OK. Will go back again.

A little bit trucelent

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were very comfortable and safe and we loved the friendly staff! This place was perfectly clean and the neighborhood was just fine. Great little cafe next door, which would not deliver the first evening we were there, but we saw them deliver the next night?????

I honestly was disappointed with this hotel. The pictures are a little deceiving - the actual hotel building isn't all that nice. The inside of the room was clean, bed was comfortable, but it was nothing special (especially for the price). Ice machines were very far which was inconvenient. But it was a big plus that we could walk to our restaurant at […] jack london. My biggest complaint is that we had to pay for parking! We've stayed at many hotels and we've never been charged parking! I probably wouldn't come back to this hotel unless they really dropped the price. Read more

Shortcomings included unreliable free wireless internet, but it was really just great. People were nice, the price is right, tons of good restaurants right there, comfortable, clean. We'd just stayed in a much less pleasant San Francisco hotel and the Inn at Jack London Square really made our California visit so much better.

Hotel is located in an industrial part of Oakland (the port area). It is not a neighborhood with shops, restaurants, and activities for children. One reason we booked was the swimming pool. When we arrived we learned it was not open (the desk clerk didn't know this!). First room I was given was already occupied. The other room we were given had a wet […] carpet. The hotel restaurant served a good breakfast. There is a very nice small bar near the hotel which has 40+ varieties of beer on tap. Still don't understand why others have rated this hotel so highly.

My family enjoyed our stay. The room was clean, which was really important as we had 2 kids with us. I've stayed here multiple time over the last 8 years and the upgrades are great....especially the fitness center!The blower in our bathroom was a bit noisy when turned on; The hotel staff was responsive and prompt to our needs. Suggest the hotel consider […] putting fridges/microwave ovens in the rooms. We will definitely be returning for future stays! Read more

Reasonably priced, with small-ish clean rooms and tidy grounds. The neighborhood is stetchy - don't plan on strolling too far in the evening. Nearby train tracks and conductors who love their horns make for a restless night.

Thank you its the best.... thank you I will tell all my friends this hotel is the best. Thank you very much I do appreciate it. Thank you.

The Inn was nice and great walking distance to Jack London Square and Yoshi's, although I initially confused it with the Jack London Inn down the street, oops and yikes! Great to have secure parking in this particular neighborhood. The room was comfortable, however, the cleaner used in the bathroom was very overpowering as we walked in - thought the […] chorine/bleach smell was wafting up from the pool below and the curtains could have been two inches longer in order to darken the room from the rising sun.

The on-line pictures and 3-star rating don't align with the reality of the 1.5-2 star property. Paper-thin walls allowed me to hear details of next-door conversations. In need of repair/maintenance/updates. Be aware of the neighborhood. Location was optimal for my business travel needs.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I had a pleasurable stay at the Inn. The room was very nice, all the amenities worked, and the maid service was excellent. I found the front desk staff to be extremely helpful in all aspects of service.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was fine for the night. Early morning train was a wake up call, but not one that sent me flying out of bed! Really close to AMTRAK tracks!

We needed a place to stay while in Oakland and this hotel was close to where we wnated to be. It was just fine.

Seems like a '60's motel that someone slapped a coat of paint on. I thought this was the nice hotel on the water when I booked it, but not the case.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

hotel is a work in progress because the heater in our room did not work, so we slept in our clothes. The next night the front desk supplied a space heater. When all renovations to the Inn are completed, it will be a much better experience.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is just beside the jazz club, so the location was good even though the neighborhood is sketchy... The chicken & waffles around the corner is classic with lots of soul food choices. The hotel seemed clean with the exception of the carpets, but the walls are thin and you can clearly hear your neighbors.... and also the trains in the background. […] The staff was friendly. I'm not sure I would choose this hotel if its location to our favorite club wasn't perfect, but it is better than many of the other hotels in this area. Read more

Everything is not as good as it is descibed. Train noise starts at dawn. The building is old; room is smelly. Receptionist is impolite. Restroom has no hot water. Facility is almost torn. It is worse than motels. I can only stay there for one night and check out immediately at the next morning!

Efficient and only one block from Jack London square.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Notel was noisy. You can hear all your neighbors and the people in the hall. Plus the bonus of Amtrak trains honking theeir horn every hour or so all night long - or so it seemed. But, you can walk to Yoshi's where we have seen very good concerts before. Literally a block away.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The place was pretty standard, more expensive than it should have been, but not as expensive with other places. The area is ok, I'm sure it's fine, but I didn't opt to wander at night. It is close to Nation's Giant Hamburgers and the Buttercup Kitchen is the Room Service which is open until 11 pm. The room was nothing fancy, but didn't feel nasty like […] some places I've stayed. My biggest gripe is the railroad that's close by. It's not loud enough to wake me, but I definitely heard it each day/night. I'd stay again in a pinch, but I'll look elsewhere maybe next time. If the price is right go for it, if you can afford a nicer place then go for that. Read more

The hotel was convenient to the areas I needed to be. It was quite. I was very impressed with the work out room and the pool. I did think that the parking charge was a little expensive.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We chose The Inn at Jack London Square because it was walking distance to the BART so we could park our car and not have to drive it all weekend long. But, we were pleasantly surprised by how great the location actually was. We spent a whole day at Jack London Square. There is really nice places to eat there and a cool little market on Sunday. The hotel […] itself was nice also; clean, great service, comfortable bed, cheap and secure parking for our car. If I make any trips back to Oakland, I will stay there again. Read more

I had read a lot of the posted reviews about The Inn at Jack London, and was a bit concerned about the possible train noise or noise from other guests here but we had a wonderful experience. We were there new years eve night. After a night of dancing (no drinking) we returned to the hotel. The room was very clean, not a lot of extra room but that was […] fine. The bathroom had clean, thick white towels.The only train I heard at all was at 7:15 am, after I was awake. It sounded far away. Had I been asleep, I would not have heard it. We heard no noise from other rooms either and we heard no one walking around outside during the night. The heater under the window ran on low all night with a constant hum which provided great "white noise". I assume the air conditioner in the summer would do the same. To get to the rooms (which are above their garage), you have to go through the lobby and up and elevator. There's a nice court yard up there with an outdoor pool. The rooms are around the courtyard. It was very nice. I felt very secure. No problems at all. I really don't understand what some of the other reviewers were fussing about. I have no complaints about this hotel at all. Read more

could not have been a better location my visit to Jack London Sqaure! All was great with no concerns what so ever!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Decent hotel if your looking for a cheap room and not expecting Anything fancy! First time we stayed here I couldn't sleep due to the train we were on the bottom floor in the back in a city view room. This time we were on the second floor overlooking the courtyard and I didn't hear a train at all. Although the parking is $14 its worth it as I felt pretty […] safe having it parked in there and it's close and convenient. Read more
