This hotel is in a nice spot for a romantic getaway to the marina which can be accessed directly from the back of the hotel. The surrounding neighborhood of downtown Oakland allows for some fun adventures. However, I would not recommend staying here for business. It is not as quiet, and the rooms are not a well lit for the purpose of doing business as you might find elsewhere.
Positives: The staff was very friendly and courteous.
Negatives: Everything seemed just a little bit dirty.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 12 Jul 2011 rated 9 out of 10.
This is a clean, centrally located, and nice hotel.
Positives: It is close to Amtrak, close to the Ferry into SF and close to great restaurants.
Negatives: I did not like that it wasn't free.

While the hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The property is feeling a little worn and needs to be refreshed. The area around the hotel seems very depressed. On a positive note, the eggs I had at the hotel restaurant for breakfast were some of the best cooked eggs that I have had in a very long time.
Positives: The staff was friendly, and the hotel has character.
Negatives: The area around the hotel is really suffering from the recession.

Says it was updated but paint is peeling and knobs are falling off. The hotel would be satisfactory if not for the noise of the ship loading with horns beeping all night (think of a car alarm going off next to your bed) and Amtrak trains blowing horns all through the night. If you want to sleep, this is not your place.
Positives: The views of the waterfront.
Negatives: The Amtrak train came through and blew it's horn all night long.

Very comfortable hotel right on the water at Jack London Square.
Positives: Incredibly comfortable bed, interesting room with gas fireplace.
Negatives: Key card didn't work (late at night), no check-in parking.

Updated with WOW; I liked being in an area that has gone to such lengths to revitalize with great results. There's evidence of years gone by on the elevator's framing, etc. but that adds to the charm somehow for me just like the small, warm lobby did. They all cared about our stay and were friendly. Can get a view for higher rate.
Positives: Clean, great mattresses; friendly staff; Wow decor.
Negatives: Dark halls and rooms but big windows.
