First of all, the lobby smelled like smoke. The guy behind the counter was nice and efficient. We got our key, Room# 308. When I opened the door, the first thing I noticed was the stained carpet. That turned me off. Then I saw the windows were also stained and dirty, I swear I didn't feel like touching anything!! The... More

The rooms are run down, but clean. Our biggest complaint was there were four of us in a room and they would NOT give us four towels, even after repeated requests. We stayed four nights. The one time we got the extra two towels, housekeeping had a horrible attitude. If you are looking for a bed and a shower this... More

In a place like the Bay area, it is difficult to give an objective opinion on price vs worth. So I will try to keep to the "facts". I stayed here for 2 nights, using it strictly as a place for bed and shower. The room is clean and the room cleanup is good. Linen is fresh and clean, The... More

This was certainly very close to the concert we went to at Yoshi's - we were able to walk to the show a block away and the bed was comfortable but the place is rundown! Felt safe and there is a 'chicken and waffles' diner next door. The front desk was. The front desk attentive with our need for an... More

First, the rooms are disturbing... holes in the blankets.. holes in the curtains. . The room keys expire everyday... the doors broken... second: the two dudes were awesome... the red head. Worst attitude ever... not friendly. . And not willing to help at all.. the maintence man was cool.. not very family friendly because of the marijuana smokers... basically.. they... More

The room was dirty. The room lighting was marginal. Sounds of trains going by in front kept us awake. It was just bad experience. Checked out the next morning. We expected it to be nearer to the Jack London waterfront.

I booked this hotel online last week and stayed for a week, with my main priorities being bed, shower and cheapest price in a good, safe location. Jack London Inn didn't disappoint in that respect. It's a budget hotel, so I wasn't expecting much beyond that and was happily surprised by the experience. The room was clean and comfortable, free... More

the service was courteous and professional. The hotel is old and can use some upgrading but all in all, it is clean and definitely worth the price. My room was comfortable and had the normal amenities of most hotels. I could hear train noise but the sound was not intolerable. Most hotels that I stay at have noise, either from... More

The Jack London Inn is the least costly hotel for miles and the rate includes parking. BUT the train tracks to the Port of Oakland and the Oakland AMTRAK station are in the middle of the street in front of the Inn. The first train passed within 15 minutes of my arrival. The trains blow their horn constantly. It was... More
