Horrible place and customer service

The place looks nothing like the pictures on the we. Site. Our room did not have Ari conditioner nor heat. Manager would not work with us and did not give us a discount, he gave us a king size room which was horrible, breakfast was so horrible and the people at the front desk had no manners. The only kind people were the cleaners. Manager told us to cancel our reservation, We made plans ahead for this trip and was too late to book another hotel. On their site it did not show the rooms having issues and the manager said it sent messages to clients but since we booked with Hotels.com we were not notified. There were more than 4 customers like us that our rooms were not in service. I demand a refund for the inconvenience

Booked this hotel online because it looked pretty decent. My fault for not looking at reviews prior to booking, but this is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. The area it's in is ugly, the room itself is damp and has burn marks all over the shower and counters, and the AC doesn't work. It was 110 degrees outside. I expected the basic "bad hotel" things like cigarette smoke, stains, and loud noises, but this exceeds my expectations and not in a good way.

Don't stay at Jack London Inn

Went to see Giants baseball on the ferry. Location across the street from Jack London Square. Check in slow and rude. Birds crapped on car in the garage. Place infested with prostitutes. Noisy, fight in next room and loud trains. Room in disrepair and key did not work. House keeper nice. I've never sent in a bad review.

Oakland on a budget

Had to travel to Oakland for a short notice job interview. Booked Jack London Inn due to having a reasonable price and its distance from the job interview site. Hotel's location is convenient to many nearby tourist attractions and restaurants. Alameda island only a 10 minute walk/ferry ride away. Room itself was decent and reservation included breakfast. Check-in was smooth and front desk clerk was kind enough to loan me a pen for my job interview. Next time I'm in Oakland, will definitely hit this place up.

The air cobditioning has poor ventilation. The window cannot be open so I could not enjoy fresh wind of San Francisco Bay Area. It was 60F. The area is close to Starbucks and some eateries. Has bus routes directly serving the hotel. The hotel serves basic vreakfast like cereals and toasts.

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.
