Stay away from this place

Terrible. Loud neighbors. Services were nonexistent and rude. We were going to be charged $25 extra dollar for showing up 5 minutes early. Uncleaned rooms and hallways meant like poop and smoke.

The property is old, no mistaking, but what makes it work is the staff. They can't fix everything, but they will try to fix what you need. Truly a great bunch of people; desk, security, maintenance and housekeeping were all incredibly kind and supportive, as my Mom was passing. The staff is wonderful

It was better than expected. The room were large, the staff friendly. The area is depressed but walkable to Yoshi jazz or the cinema. Trains run outside but you get used to them.

The walls & windows let through a lot of noise. It was impossible to sleep without earplugs and even then I got woken up by the really loud train outside (a loud bell and continuous train honking goes off whenever it comes and it continues through the night) and the neighbours TV. Bathroom is pretty run down but was clean.

Comfortable room. Run down hotel

Hotel is in bad shape but the rooms are clean and comfortable but the hotel is not in great shape. The price can allow you to overlook many of the conditions including the so called free breakfast

The room was affordable, cozy and while not perfect the king size bed was clean, comfortable and with decent bedding. The mini fridge kept our beverages cool and the wall heater made our stay toasty. Jack London Square can be both touristy and affected by urban issues such as sex workers in the hotel lobby but I would absolutely stay here again.
