Amazing overall!

I really enjoyed our stay here! Yes the train might be an issue if you are a light sleeper but it wasn’t too bad! The room was nice and clean! Front desk people were so sweet! I felt safe leaving during the day and walking around Jack London so beautiful with nice views! Took the ferry to San Fran, went to the fox theatre did a lot of nice things while our stay!

After staying at the Jack London Inn for multiple days on two separate occasions, I was suddenly harassed on the last night of my last stay by the Thursday evening front desk clerk. He immediately told me that "everyone" on my floor was complaining about my dog barking, though he was unable to tell me on his own the floor or room where we were staying. Even after I told him that my dog had been with his sitter all day and with me all night and we were both very clear that he had done no barking, he demanded ined to know what room I was staying in when I walked into lobby with my dog after a long walk. He also refused to tell me who had allegedly complained about me and my dog. During the time that we stayed at the end, my dog made FaceTime with all of our immediately adjacent neighbors, next door and across the hall, all of whom regarded him and me totally positively. No one ever complained to me or his sitter about anything despite ample opportunities to do so. After I continued to tell the clerk that this was inaccurate, he literally began telling me that he never said the dog did anything wrong, effectively trying to gaslight me. He then threatened to send a security guard to my room, although he did not specify what the purpose of that security guard would be. I had good relationships with both of the night security guards whom I met, especially the young man from Gambia, whom I have known for over a year now. The clerk continued to harass me in front of guests.

This property may have been good 20 years ago, but is a nightmare now. I felt unsafe, room was so dirty I would not take my shoes off. (I did take pictures). Staff was extremely unprofessional and virtually useless. I would never stay here again.

Great space for longer term stays. They are always friendly the desk, but the breakfast, just get your own. It’s no more than milk and cereal that you can’t take to your room to eat. You have to sit in a weird cafeteria. And the women are very very very mean.

OK for the price, cheap place to stay in Oakland. You get what you pay for, if you are looking for something up market then this is not for you, if you a looking for a basic place at a reasonable rate then this may well be OK. Beware that this is right by the railway which runs down the street outside, so expect train horn noise at all hours. The reception area is a bit dated but the check in was swift and easy, and on the two seperate nights I stayed I noticed the deposit that was taken was back in my bank account very soon after check out. The corridors are grim, but the rooms I had were both OK, nothing fancy but clean and warm. As stated, an OK place for what you pay. Near the Amtrak station and boat to San Francisco. One downside is the rough sleepers who hang around the streets but nothing the hotel can do about that. Breakfast very basic nothing special, just juice, coffee, cereal and toast.
