We came on November 15th to check in and we checked out within 10 mins. As soon as we arrived to the inn there were two police cars and police dealing with a situation with another guest fighting his friend. The lobby smelled of weed and cigarettes, when online it stated it was smoke free inn. We still checked in hoping that it was just the lobby and as we walked up the stairs to our room, I slipped on the staircase cause there was water on the stairs in the stairwell, it was raining and it appeared to be water leaking from the ceiling. We continued to our room and when we opened it, it smelled of weed, cigarettes and a musty smell. There were no lights easily available to turn on and when we went to turn on the lights, the lamps were sticky and dirty with brown spots everywhere like soda, the table had cigarette burns and was dirty, the bed was awful and the carpet looked filthy. I went to wash my hands in the bathroom and the bathroom was a mess and gross. I couldn’t stay in a place that was that dirty and smelled of weed and cigarettes as I have asthma. The pics online of the inn are not at all the room we received. The pics are a lie and we were deceived. We quickly checked out as we could not stay there, as we walked out the lobby and noticed the cops were gone there was group of sketchy group of people and we felt unsafe. We came to Oakland for a concert and just needed a place to sleep but there was no way we were going stay here.

Jack London inn view of the Bay spent the night, the hotel is right next to the tracks of the major N-S rail line, a train every hour at least all night long wife was a little annoyed but it was all I could do not run down and watch them go by, around 3:15am one went by that was a very long freight for 15min around 35mph engines in the front, middle and rear the sounds were so cool... Irish pub nearby and a nice seafood joint... Staff very nice, check in and out easy... The price, location and if one can deal with a little funky it works for me... I'll be back...

My service dog was illegally turned away. The clerk asked illegal questions pertaining to my service dog then turned me away without giving me a refund. My situation is dire!!! I need that refund to get a different hotel room elsewhere. I am on the street.
