The breakfast was horrible! The staff was nice tho. Hotels.com is horrible. The hotel couldn’t find my reservation and i had to call and find out why. It was a nice hotel but a little scary. I might stay there again and i would recommend to ppl staying short stays.

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!

Excellent overall for their economic pricing
Trains run right in front of the hotel, and since their track is on the road, they honk whenever they pass by to alert people on the road. I was woken up five times a night, but I was so tired that I fell back to sleep five times. This isn't the hotel's fault but it's worth noting. Ear muffs are recommended. However, with their pricing for a private room plus restroom in SF, I would come again.

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
