Book a hotel near Jack London's Cabin, Downtown Oakland

"It has a beautiful setting right next to the harbor. The property was well-maintained and very clean, though shops are a 30-minute walk away. However, grocery delivery (Walmart) was exceptionally fast. The connecting room door was very thin with a 1/2 inch gap at the bottom; you can hear everything in the next room, which impacts privacy. The 1970s-style lamps and slow, integrated headboard chargers need modern USB/USB-C upgrades. For some odd reason, when I was connected to their WiFi, neither my phone or my laptop could get a signal. Once I disconnect from the WiFi, everything worked just fine. I did mention that to the front desk clerk, but he said his electronics were working okay, so I let it go. The headboard was unanchored and rocked against the wall, requiring a DIY fix with pillows. This hotel is a decent budget-friendly option for the price, just be prepared to deal with a few trivial inconveniences and minor annoyances. 4/24/2026 "

"Clean room, staff super friendly, valet service "

"It was a walkable area and I found it was easy to figure out how to use the bus and transit system! A few bars and restaurants near by in a 10 min walking distance down Broadway. Trips into the city of San Francisco was as easy as taking the BART station nearby! Save your money and time and take advantage of the all day pass and public transit in the city "

"Cons: Smells like cigarettes inside the room, lots of burn holes in blankets, roaches in restroom, microwave was half burnt light bulbs were out in restroom and in main room lamp. Key card did not work until maintenance had to replace batteries in the door unit which took a whole day. Had to get something from the room and while the key card did not work since maintenance hadn’t come yet, I went to front desk and no one was there to let me in. I waited for 30 minutes. Pros: Fridge worked well, shower worked well, A/C worked well. Great location for the Oakland Marathon."

"Very nice staff, decent property. Everyone was helpful, room was fine. Only issue was: I was there for 3 nights and my room was never cleaned once."

"Outdated room with musty smell. Scary people hanging out around front of hotel. "
