Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Never again for me.

The room was in very bad shape, dirty linen and extremely dirty shower and bathroom. Everything in the room was in poor condition. No A/C so it was extremely warm on a hot night. Very noisy with the train running pretty much every half hour up until about midnight. Visualy unappealing and would not recommend. I contemplated leaving and going elsewhere but it was very late when I arrived so didn’t have many options.

Dog friendly hotel, but it reeks of nail polish, pine sol, and old pee soaked carpet had dried cakeed dog poo 💩 embeded in the fibers, along with dried poo from a small dog under the broken wall ac. Broken smelly fridge, broken TV, and the shower stall was painted over with what appeared to be wall paint that was chipping, didn't feel comfortable showering there even with slides on. Oh and the train goes by all day and all night, honking their horns

Stayed here because a relative was staying here and had a nice remodeled room (which we saw ourselves). Check in was fine, no cash accepted though. The elevators are very slow took a few minutes to wait. There's a sign in the elevator stating the elevators were pending an inspection since 2021! Guess you take it at your own risk. We got to Room 323 and it was really worn down and outdated! Was definitely NOT the same type of remodeled room our relative had! The beds need to be replaced, very uncomfortable worn and thin! The furniture could definitely use an upgrade! The bathroom sink was chipped up with paint peeling all over. The countertop was in the same bad shape. The shower floor tiles looked like they haven't been cleaned in decades! The shower head sprayed water on the ceiling which was so worn from water and sprayed so much it dripped water back down into the shower (ultimately on you as you're standing under it), disgusting! There were two little very worn towels (supposed to be bath towels) with one hand towel and one washcloth for a room thar occupies four people. Called the front desk to request two more towels and was informed they "only had one left and i need to come to the front desk to pick it up". Even Motel 6 will deliver additional towels to their guests! Went to the front desk and picked up one small worn bath towel and We also had Room 207 which was in a little better shape but not by much! We got the full true Oakland vibe staying at this terrible inn.

Economy hotel at Jack London Square

The good: large room, elevator worked, lots of secure off street parking (some covered), good shower, comfortable bed, conveniently located, helpful and friendly front desk staff, Amtrak station about a 4 block walk on level ground. The not-so-good: poor breakfast (but several good diners nearby), furniture is old and worn, Amtrak trains run right in front of the hotel and are noisy blowing whistle at all hours, low grade towels (use some bleach maybe?), noisy hallway, view from room at decrepit buildings behind hotel, pigeons poop everywhere! OK: You get what you pay for. Not bad for price.

Not what I expected

This place has a potential of being what I suppose use to be. is well centralized and vey conveniently located very close to the trian station. it is run dowm, with very poor maintenace, i can see out my window parts of the stucco coming off the wall. inside the room restroom fixtures are in bad shape and was told on arrival the romm has no heater. Luckily the weather was great. While waiting to be checking in, i saw a couple of shady characters coming to look for a room with thier questionable. My floor smelled like weed and there was teenagers runnig up and down the hallway knocking on doors, I'm asuming the same ones smoking weed. There was free breakfast but honestly I was scared to go see what they were serving, out my window I could see the dining room and what usedto be a out door patio which i'm sure was enjoyable at one point with on table with no chairs and some plantes that have seen better days. Is sad to see places like this comong to a slow complete destruction.
