Great location for international visitors.

It was good value for money, with breakfast included. It's proximity to the Bart station made it easy to access San Francisco city centre and cheap transport to SFO airport. It is also close to the Amtrak station.

One of the grossest $100 /night hotels I've stayed at in a long time. The entire property has been left to deteriorate and the smells throughout are terrible. Seriously a gross experience.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
There is no parking at the property so factor in an additional $25 per night and a process where you have to retrieve your car from the convention center. The initial staff I encountered at the front desk did a poor job explaining this process which added to the frustration but the staff at the desk the next morning was at least able to make sense of it for me.

The Washington Inn is a hidden gem in downtown Oakland. The four-story building stands alone, but it is easy to miss across the street from the Oakland Convention Center. The dark, wood-panelled lobby is straight out of the 70s. The building and its tiny but functional elevator seem to be straight out of 1920. The rooms, however, are modern, sizeable, comfortable and well-appointed, including quality linens. Everything, top to bottom, is well-maintained and assiduously clean. The included continental breakfast comprised cereals, packaged pastries, bagels and yogurt, and was available until 9 a.m. on a Saturday. Nearby Chinatown had interesting food options, as did Swan's Market across the street. The area is a business district and many of the restaurants open only on weekdays. Oakland 12th Street BART is a block away. Jack London Square and Amtrak are a bit of a hike, but less than a mile.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room smelt like a chain-smoker lived there. The window had no screen and opened to a small walkable space. We figured that by opening the window the smoke smell would be surpassed by fresh air. Welp that was not the case! Someone was smoking there and it all went into our room. The a/c barely worked, barely slept, and walls are paper thin. Our shower was clogged and overflowed. There was hair all over the shower and bathroom floor. Stay away from room 211, left with chest pain and burnt nasal passages from inhaling smoke all night. The second room we got, smelled like old mildew from the humidity in the room. Place is awful! Only convenient thing was the parking.

The place is pretty bad. I reserved a king suite room. It was very rundown. The walls were dirty and the bed linens were worn out. There were two TV’s in the room and neither one worked. I asked to be moved and all that was available was a queen room. It was in bad shape too and there was no heat. I asked for an adjustment on my bill from the king to the lower priced queen. I was told it would be applied to my bill but it was not. The young woman working at the desk was very nice but had not been trained very well. She was unable to help with the TV or the heater not working. I will not stay there again unless I know that the hotel has been renovated.

Tolerable Stay...

There was a particular smell once I entered the building. Somehow was even stronger, if not different once I got to my room. The area was nice, considering Oakland's reputation. But since it was in the downtown area, it was easy to settle in. Being close to the bus and bus system was benefiting. Not a wide range of restaurants though. Or at least some that stay open past a certain time. I suppose that's because of the homeless people in the area. But not at many as other say there are. Overall, if you manage to keep to yourself and go about your business, you can have a good time residing in there for a night or two.

I wanted to stay in a non-chain independent hotel. Unfortunately, this hotel has not been maintained in years. Missing paint, ancient elevator, very old fixtures, very old rugs, no proper bathrooms (sinks in the bedroom), not even glasses (plastic or otherwise) in the rooms. There was only one staff person at the hotel (same person all day and night). She was great and helpful, but the situation was odd. Also, they said there would be breakfast (coffee and pastry), but there was never anything there despite the time in the morning. There was never even a place where it could have been ....
