Not only did they not have the room ready when I got there but when the rude man told me it was ready i went up to find a disgustingly dirty room! The non smoking smelled like smoke. The whole place was dingy! The pictures must be 10 years old. I felt guilty letting my children sleep there. I wanted... more

HORRIBLE!

First of all, I made reservations for two days online and they had my reservation for Nov and not October. When I came in to pay they said they didn't have any rooms available for both days, but that they could accommadate us for Saturday and our room should be ready by 11 am, my mother and daughter walked around... more

We are here for a family reunion. I'm sure they booked this hotel because of the good rates we got. My husband and I was concerned cause of some of the reviews we read. We found the place very clean and the rooms are big. The people who work there are so friendly as I even met the man who... more

This was a truly HORRIBLE experience! Pay no attention to those beautiful photos on the website! The Non-smoking rooms REEKED OF SMOKE: it drifted under the doors and was in all the furniture. I slept with the comforter blocking the cracks in the door and a sheet against my nose and I still felt like I was in a bar... more

Dont come here! Ever! It's the worst place to stay if you are looking forward for a good night sleep, and if you think you deserve good guest service for the out of this world prices that they have. You will certaintly will not get your moneys worth. Anywhere is better than this crap! Trust me! more

AVOID THIS HOTEL We booked our family in last Friday for the weekend. They told us the hotel had plenty of rooms and it seemed so when we arrived. We were booked in a room next to a known late night party. We had to call the desk for a TV remote. The room was on the Amtrak side even... more

My husband and I were pleased with the Inn. Best of all we were able to walk everywhere--the wharf and ferry at Jack London Square, Oakland Museum, BART. Farmers' Market on Sunday was amazing--great food, music, dancing. It was an excellent experience. We will be back! Oh, dogs are welcome! more

Yes, it was right next to the train tracks and the trains DID blow their horn all night, but it really wasn't as horrible an experience as everyone made it out to be. I slept fine and so did my 4 year old. The continenal breakfast was a little disappointing, as it consisted of 1 jug of orange juice and... more

Dirty rooms. Filthy carpet turned my socks black. Had to call down to front desk for tv remote control and towels. Towels covered in hair when they were delivered. A "convention" being held at the hotel consisted of what appeared to be gang members trying to go straight. They came in at midnight cursing and yelling at the top of... more
