Can't sleep because of the trains that run 50 feet in front of the building
There's no breakfast unless you count the brown bag takeaway.
No coffee. Seriously, you read that right, it's a hotel with no coffee.
The room is stained.
Oh, and you get to pay $100 a night for the privilege.
You'd be better off sleeping on the street.

Where to start.. Should be named "Crack London", if you're looking for somewhere filthy to lay your head look no further. The crack London was lacking in on all points, the only convince was the ability to score a fix. We booked a room , walked in and immediately booked a different hotel.
**DO NOT stay here even as a last resort; if you have a choice of sleeping on a bench or here.. choose the bench**

This place is extremely low grade! Website said I could pay with cash, got to the place and they said card only, elevator was sketchy, most of the lights in the room didn't work, the fridge wasn't cold, the A/C was coming apart , stains on the carpet and no breakfast. Plus super noisey cause of the trains. The only positive thing was the bed was comfortable , the TV worked and it was conveniently located. 10 out of 10 wouldn't stay again!

Do not stay here! The location and price is great for a night of fun in Oakland. But the rooms are gross. A lot of different toxic smells on the floor I was on. Smelled like smoke and a variety of other strange smells. This place should be free for the unhoused residents of Oakland.

Before I begin - the short version is do not stay here. Totally unacceptable. I am not even sure how this place is open.
My husband and I were traveling to the different NP’s in CA and wanted to do a little sight seeing in San Francisco and meet up with some friends before beginning our trip. We had never been and figured we would just find a hotel in San Fran that day. Well lucky us, there was a major conference going on and alllllllll the hotels were booked. We called so many places and my husband called the Jack London inn. They had a room available and we were so excited that we just headed there. So thankful to have a place to stay.
Had never heard of Oakland before. We’re from the Midwest and were not at all prepared for what this hotel had in store for us. As soon as we got off the highway it was tent city which was a red flag. Kept going. Parking lot was horrible, front desk was horrible. I don’t even remember the staff because honestly I was so traumatized by everything else. We went to dinner and visited friends and were so nervous to leave our stuff in the room. I blasted the TV and left all the lights on which worked but when we got back it was a nightmare. The cleanliness was awful it smelled bad there was a condom wrapper in the water fountain and just trash all over the hallway. Some of the door handles looked broken when we were walking by. Our room was atrocious. I looked out the window and there was a uhaul that had cardboard over the windows and garbage all over the place. We legit slept in our tents because I couldn’t even handle the idea of getting into the bed. Dead bugs on the ground and the neighbors were screaming and throwing things all night long. I didn’t close my eyes a second all night. I honestly can’t even believe we stayed. I can’t believe this place is still open. So many drug addicts and scary people everywhere.
Almost forgot when we left the next morning the staff asked why we didn’t call the night before but honestly I was so terrified to even move. We got out to our car and the car next to us had the window shattered. I can’t even believe we stayed.
This isn’t even just a cleanliness issue with this hotel is a major safety issue, If I could give negative stars I absolutely would. I am 100% convinced the good reviews are the owners / paid. DO NOT STAY HERE.
