Not a hotel for minors due to the type of foot traffic in and out ALL NIGHT…. Only thing I was happy about is the location to Downtown entertainment.

Great location, easy parking. The building and common areas were kind of sketchy. Also, some of the other guests were sketchy as well. The staff was pleasant and the rooms were very nice and clean

I blame myself...I thought I was booking for The Jack London Waterfront Hotel. Unbeknownst to me, the hotel has been closed over a year ago. The Jack London Inn is a sleazy and dirty place. I had an event I attended in Jack London Square and wanted to be nearby. Anyway, I got outta there as soon as I saw day break. Also, I used the bathroom before I left and saw a big roach. The TV didn't work either.

Worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Extremely dirty. Inappropriate behavior all around. Entire room smelled of urine, throw up, weed and cigarettes. Don’t take your family there. You will be very disappointed. It was a complete scam! Do better Expedia. The pictures are not real. All AI photos. If you complain to staff they will say it is what it is and if you don’t like it you can go somewhere else. Only perks was free parking and no charge for service animals. I highly doubt they will return my security deposit. I believe they put us in the most discussing room because we came with service animals. We ended up leaving early. Our entire luggage reeks of that place! Don’t waste your money. I’m sure this place will be out of business in no time.

The room windows on the street side don't open. Also the train runs until 12-1am and shakes the entire building as it passes and is very loud. On Saturday it resumed again around 6am. Our A/C and TV didn't work. We were promised a fan but when we went down to get it they were out of fans. Unable to open windows or run a fan, the room quickly got humid/warm.

Cleaning was subpar. There was hair and particles on the floor and walls when we arrived. The bathroom toilet seat was broken/loose. Shampoo and body wash were provided but not conditioner. Our stay was for 2 people, but only one set of towels was left in the room upon check-in.

Parking was secure/good. Location is extremely convenient and just a short walk to the ferry.

The room was not like in the picture; had to \"photoshopped\",
Parking lot was being used to fix people's car; dogs barking all night.
People speaking loudly at all times of the night(2am-7am). Not to mention the \"train\" coming through at 2am and 4am by 7:15am I had to go!!!!
Customer service reps were \"on the phone\" including Security so no type of Safety or just a general \"Thank you\" for staying with US.
The room/bed had no Cover!!! I had to sleep under my jacket!
Wanted to take a morning shower but it had a big black bug sitting in the middle of the shower to top it all off!

First of all, your description of the hotel is completely opposite of what it really is. And that is false advertisement. There is no restaurant there is no rooftop pool. There were no microwaves. The air conditioner hasn’t been working in the hotel for years, the windows do not open. The rooms were dirty. The pool hasn’t been used in years and was full of leaves and dirt and the restaurant that is connected to the hotel is closed and has been for a long time. You really need to have people double check the hotels that you have on your website. I feel like we were ripped off. And even though the room was inexpensive. I solely trusted your website for what we were getting, and it was completely opposite.

This hotel is a very low quality hotel. The room is full of marks, smears, and we had to evict several bugs that we found. The beds, the bathroom, desk, everything is poorly maintained. The outlet is a fire hazard and the plug has metal components which are stuck in the outlet. There are many comings and goings of various scantily clad individuals who appear to be hired for about 1 hour who will join men in the hotel. We were awoken by some of their activities as the sounds carry exceptionally through the walls and through the halls.

We were given a well used box fan for cooling but i didnt do much and our room was consistently 75-80+. Wreaked of cigarettes, reninded me of my grandmas. Sketchy elevators. Had to chwcl out my tv remote from the from desk. Outlets that don't work. There are much closer hotels to BART stations if commuting. If coming by train, its worth it to carry your stuff the extra 0.5mi to carry it to a better hotel

The one positive I can say is that we did not see any bugs or pests.

The flooring installed on the floor had gaps between sections that were grater than 1/4\". In at least one case, a saw cur was only half way through the section.
The coffee maker did not work in any outlet. One of the switches by the door controlled a wall sconse, the other apparently did nothing. AC was down in tht room, I knew that and said it was acceptable.
The faucet in the battroom basin was not properly connected to the counter. The ends were sliding by 1//2 inch or rmore when the water temperature was changed.
The cost benefit was not enough to entice me to return,

This was unfortunately the worst hotel we’ve ever stayed at. In fact, we didn’t end up sleeping there because it was so bad. We called a local friend and asked if we could crash there for the night, so we grabbed our bags and fled right after the show at Yoshi’s.
Hallway was dirty, carpets were filthy, the room spelled so bad, we couldn’t breath through our nose. Windows wouldn’t lock and AC was very loud. Would never stay there or recommend.

Este hotel no debería estar considerado dentro de las opciones de Expedia. Un hotel casi en abandono con mal olor en todo el edificio. Las camas y habitaciones con una dudosa limpieza y sin aire acondicionado, solo nos ofrecieron dos ventiladores de mesa. No se puede considerar que existe relación entre el precio y la calidad porque tu vida corre peligro; cuando llegamos en grupo familiar habían chicas casi desnudas ofreciendo sus servicios o entrando y saliendo con sus clientes del hotel. Tiene estacionamiento pero hay muchos vehículos que parecen abandonados o con todas las pertenencias de alguien dentro, se puede dejar el vehículo bajo tu propio riesgo. Pueden decir que obtienes lo que pagas pero las fotos que están publicadas son una completa farsa.

This is the perfect place for someone who's just passing through and needs to get some shut eye. It's not for the fate of heart when it comes to train noise, but it is generally quiet otherwise. Unfortunately the neighborhood has been going through hard economic times and many of the hotels that were operating in the area have closed down entirely. Presumably because this hotel is old and likely paid for a long time ago it can remain open but there isn't a lot of extra money around to spruce it up. That's particularly true because there have been plans in place for a long time to replace it with a new modern hotel. I don't think I'd want to bring my family here but I found it to be the same last night as I found it to be 40 years ago when I stayed here on a regular basis. Comfortable close to the action and value oriented

Had what I'm assuming were pimps downstairs. Hallways look like a drug hotel.Actually looked at the room, the people before us stuffed tissue in peep hole in door, also assuming that was due to crack or meth paranoia.

This was the worst hotel I had ever stayed at!!! I had booked a room with 2 queen beds for 4 guests, but I was given a room with a single King bed. They were able to give a second room with a single king bed at no extra cost upon my complaint, and assign the correct type of room for the second night. The elevator, hallway, and rooms were in very poor condition. The rooms reeked of pot, despite no smoking signs placed in the room. Most of the furniture and some fixtures in the room were broken. While the room looked neat and clean, it did not feel clean. The bed was uncomfortable, with a thin blanket that was not enough to keep the sleeper warm at night. The room comes across much better in photos than in person. The experience was so bad that I ended up not staying the second night, despite paying for it. I will not recommend this place to anyone! Parking was good and safe.

Breakfast seemed like the coffee had been reheated for days...it was thick and dark and the coffee urn had dried coffee dripping down the sides. The hallways were run down.

We didn’t end up staying at this hotel because the location was terrible. Literally about 5 meters from the entrance, trains were passing every 5–15 minutes very loudly, shaking the entire building. I can’t imagine how noisy it must be at night.

The parking area also felt unsafe and unsecured. There were homeless people staying around the property, which did not make us feel comfortable as guests.

The reception area smelled strongly of smoke, possibly marijuana or other substances. Because of all of this, we decided to leave immediately and did not spend the night there. Unfortunately, the hotel still refused to fully refund our money, even though we never stayed overnight.
