I stayed at The Inn for one night after making reservation the same day in July, 2008. The location is great, very close to Jack London Square. I stayed there after attending a concert at Yoshi's Jazz Club (and Sushi restaurant) at JL Square. It was a perfect location, after the concert I walked about 3 minutes to the back... more

After reading several less than favorable reviews of this motel, I wasn't sure what to expect. To our surprise, we found the Inn at the Square to be clean, but shopworn, with clean linens, bedroom, and bathroom. The desk clerk was very friendly. I would stay here again because of convenient location at Jack London Square and relatively decent price,... more

It is what it is, a 2 star hotel. clean room good location 10mins walk from BART [well lit, we walked it most nights no problem]. $89 a night [stayed for 6 nights] inc. wi-fi & parking. We [wife & 16 year old daughter] did everything we wanted to do in San Francisco. Probably not the best choice for a... more

I was arriving in Oakland by train fairly late at night and wanted somewhere to stay within walking distance of the Jack London Square Amtrak station. The Best Western Inn at the Square is indeed within walking distance of the station -- about a 5-10 minute jaunt through well-lit streets. The Jack London Inn and Waterfront Hotel are also close.... more

After escaping the Jack London Inn we decided to stay here. It was ok. Front desk lady was nice and helpful. The rooms are about average, however the carpeting was really dirty and we were disappointed because we thought Best Western had a little higher standards. There was some mildew on the ceiling in the shower and there were some... more

this was the cheapest place i could find in Oakland to stay for a meeting for work. The central location and proximity to the BART also meant that I didn't have to rent a car. The hotel was clean, the room was clean, there was a nice courtyard with a pool that made me wish I had packed a bathing... more

When my coworker and I arrived, the people at the front desk said hardly a thing to us and were barely audible themselves. Throughout our entire stay they never said "Hello, thank you, Can I help you?, How are you?, Hi, etc." We had to ask them everything we needed to know about the place, such as where our rooms... more

I stayed here for two nights for work based on a friend's recommendation. It wasn't a horrible hotel, but I probably would have stayed somewhere else if I had known this hotel was not of high quality. We wanted to be close to Jack London Square so we could walk to local restaurants. In my opinion, it's close proximity to... more

I stayed here for a couple nights in June, because of the convenient location close to Jack London Square. The towels in the bathroom did not look like they had been changed from the previous guests. Some of the soap packages were already opened. I wondered if the room had actually been cleaned thoroughly before we checked in. Also, the... more
