The front desk people were nice but the hotel room and property was not. I knew it wasn’t in the best area when I booked it, but I didn’t realize it was located right next to a train! Guess I should have read the reviews first!

Just like my ex boyfriend..

There was no hot water during our stay at Jack London. The front desk agent failed to notify us during our check in. We didn’t realized that there wasn’t any hot water running until i stood under the water for 20 minutes hoping that maybe.. just maybe there will be some miracle or something that can miraculously warm my cold cold relaxing shower. Then just like my ex boyfriend, a very hard slap of disappointment and sadness of worthlessness and a freezing shower

Dear Expedia Customer Service, I am writing to share my concerns about my recent stay at the Jack London Hotel, which I booked through your platform. I stayed there for 4 days, and while the front desk workers were kind, my overall experience was disappointing and not as advertised. Here are some issues I encountered: 1. No housekeeping service was provided during my entire stay, even though I was there for several days. 2. The listing on Expedia stated that breakfast was included, but the only items provided were cold cereal, yogurt, and apples. This was very different from what I expected. 3. On the first day, I was grateful to receive some breakfast items for my baby. On the second day, I politely asked if I could take a small amount again because my baby eats slowly. The manager allowed it, but another staff member made me feel embarrassed by saying what I took was “too much”—even though it was just 2 small bowls of cereal, an apple, and 2 small cartons of milk. 4. After that experience, I felt so uncomfortable and ashamed that I didn’t return for breakfast the next two days. As a single mother traveling with a baby, I was hoping for a safe and respectful environment, but this experience left me upset and disappointed. I would appreciate it if Expedia could review this listing and hotel practices, as it did not match the quality or honesty expected from your platform. If possible, I would also appreciate a partial refund or credit for the inconvenience.Thank you!

Right next to Jack London Square which has many dining options and 5 minute walk to ferry to San Francisco. Rooms are clean with a fridge. Free parking. The lobby and public areas need a remodel. Not the best area to the east and the noise from the Amtrak trains is loud. Breakfast needs improvement.

Amazing overall!

I really enjoyed our stay here! Yes the train might be an issue if you are a light sleeper but it wasn’t too bad! The room was nice and clean! Front desk people were so sweet! I felt safe leaving during the day and walking around Jack London so beautiful with nice views! Took the ferry to San Fran, went to the fox theatre did a lot of nice things while our stay!

After staying at the Jack London Inn for multiple days on two separate occasions, I was suddenly harassed on the last night of my last stay by the Thursday evening front desk clerk. He immediately told me that "everyone" on my floor was complaining about my dog barking, though he was unable to tell me on his own the floor or room where we were staying. Even after I told him that my dog had been with his sitter all day and with me all night and we were both very clear that he had done no barking, he demanded ined to know what room I was staying in when I walked into lobby with my dog after a long walk. He also refused to tell me who had allegedly complained about me and my dog. During the time that we stayed at the end, my dog made FaceTime with all of our immediately adjacent neighbors, next door and across the hall, all of whom regarded him and me totally positively. No one ever complained to me or his sitter about anything despite ample opportunities to do so. After I continued to tell the clerk that this was inaccurate, he literally began telling me that he never said the dog did anything wrong, effectively trying to gaslight me. He then threatened to send a security guard to my room, although he did not specify what the purpose of that security guard would be. I had good relationships with both of the night security guards whom I met, especially the young man from Gambia, whom I have known for over a year now. The clerk continued to harass me in front of guests.
