No cleaning, no towels, hallways smell like cigarette smoke, very noisy because of train track in front of hotel (also during the night), dogs are allowed in hotel and my neighbours dog kept barking all night, not a lot of choice in breakfast and bird nests at the parking lot (inside area) , car full of bird poop. Something they know but don't do anything about. Filters in room very dirty..

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
It's affordable, close to Amtrak and Jack London Square. The room was a bit shabby but okay. However, the walls are thin, and one night the couple next door left the TV playing all night and periodically argued in loud voices, which made it almost impossible to sleep, and it didn't feel safe to complain and potentially get in the middle of their domestic battle. The hallway also reeked of marijuana smoke, but fortunately not cigarettes. The area has some nice pubs and restaurants, and it's a short BART ride to Berkeley or San Francisco, or you can catch a ferry. The Inn is probably half the cost of the nearby Hyatt, or less, but you get what you pay for.

It was better than sleeping on the street!
Hotel desk staff were great. Had a very Hostel feel. Room was basic and mostly clean where most people could see. The shower and bathroom in general were very aged. Looked like some grout ussues, not many towels, old toilet. Not good if you have movement limitations or disabilities. Beds were a little firm but dud the job! Top of tv stand had grafitti and garbage. (Not visible to average height people) room had DirectTV with good channel options! The breakfast was basic. One lady working the food bar told me it was closed at 8:45. It was open to 9. She would not refill anything or put out any food. There was another guy who overheard .the conversation and brought out some bread and a danish. He also got yogurts for the kids that were there from the back somewhere. So do not rely on that service! It got the job done for the price. Not a place to go for the amme ities or the view! But oarking was safe and included.

Embarrassing TBH
We were genuinely surprised at the low quality of this booking. It was considerably different from what was shown in the pictures. We asked for an early check in due to our flight schedule and staff was curt and unaccommodating. They did however allow us to leave our luggage after we asked in desperation. Our non smoking room smelled of smoke, the mattresses were thin and inhospitable, and breakfast ended before I could get out of bed at 9am. The proximity to Jack London Square was nice however. A couple staff members were kind.

I wouldn't ever again!
Went to their continental breakfast to be told no food could leave the cafeteria, then was watched eat by the attendant. It was so weird and rude and theady was absolutely terrible to us. Then asked for a late check out for zero help and rushed out and hassled by the cleaning lady the next day banging on my door for 5 minutes after I told them we were leaving. The worst!!

Check in was easy, although they do charge $25 if you want to check in early. The exterior of the building is very old and run down (it could use an update) the inside was a lot bigger than I expected. The rooms were ok. The staff were friendly. The location is great. A five minute walk (max) from the Amtrak station. Lots of food options, along with Plank right across the street. I only needed to stay one night, and it was fine. My only complaint was someone kept banging on the walls and making the entire room shake. I guess they either left or fell asleep, When it got late it was very quiet.
