Hotels near Word Works, Oakland

The hotel is very new, the decoration and facilities are well designed, and the services are in place. There is a spacious and bright public area on the second floor where you can drink tea and coffee for free, which is suitable for simple business meetings. It is walking distance from BART station, Amtrak train station, and Chinatown, which is very convenient. The only thing that needs to be considered is the surrounding safety issues. Because it is located in the city center and the city hall is right outside the window. There are many homeless people, so try to go out as little as possible at night.

Fully equipped breakfast, friendly service, elegant environment and convenient transportation, suitable for all kinds of business, family and travel accommodation. The room includes a kitchen, living room and various kitchen utensils

Doesn’t have any inside windows but if you from any windows actually very green many food spots and many stores nearby are walking distance and BART which is a form of transportation is very close by I really like everything about this room very cozy very clean and the customer service is fantastic here every time

Las habitaciones impecables y muy cómodas. Recientemente remodelado. El servicio y atención en el lobby muy bueno . El desayuno nos gustó muchísimo, cada día tiene algo nuevo y hay variedad de opciones. A una cuadra de la estación del Bart (que también te lleva a San Francisco o a Berkeley en 30 mins. Aproximadamente) Servicio de Valet parking y muy accesible para ir a San Francisco en automóvil. Solo considerar el costo del puente Bay Bridge. $3.50 No hay muchos restaurantes cerca pero si un mercadito a una cuadra.

We were helped during our quick stay by front desk manager, Gustavo Lezama. He assisted us in a speedy check-in and answered all of our questions about hotel amenities and valet. Our room was stunning, comfortable and incredibly clean! We will be coming back soon!

The front desk guy (Indian guy) was extremely pleasant and warm. The security staff were very nice and helpful. The upgraded my room to a bigger room beside the felt I would be coming with more than two people. Wow. Very thoughtful. Overall great experience!!!

I don't travel much but when I do I feel a bit uncomfortable in the big fancy new hotels. I don't like spending the money on fancy nor do I like the feel of new hotels. I like clean, cheap, unique, and good location. The Washington Inn offers all those things. I am into sustainability and extending the life of a building (It was built in 1913) is a very sustainable practice that I will always support. Air conditioning was good but I could also open the window as it was nice weather. This is a nice option. A bit loud with early morning garbage hauling but I am OK with that. I would stay here every time I am in Oakland. I am sure this is not the hotel for everyone but it worked for me.

The pros: Inexpensive Decent location Room has decent amenities The cons: Nonchalant service Smells like **** Limited breakfast options Lots of yelling Near the train No HVAC As mentioned above, this inn is a great location, with a great price, and you can tell they're trying. They had a fridge, a microwave, and a decently-sized TV in the room. More than I expected for $80~ish a night. The receptionists were what'd you expect at this price point, and the staff were mostly positive. Their breakfast options were also fairly limited, but if you were really hungry, it would do the job. While the HVAC system was broken, they did offer an extra portable heater that did the job. Unfortunately some things that they can't control really make the inn far worse than it tries to be. The behavior of their guests, their proximity to the train tracks, and the people yelling outside the hotel really affect the way guests experience the inn. Other guests were smoking **** that could be smelled all the way down the hall and in other rooms, and they were piling up so much trash they just started to leave it by their doors in the hallway. This is in addition to the fact that they were yelling and screaming, and the doors did little to muffle the sound. The yelling continued through midnight and kept waking me up throughout the night. This yelling came both from guests in the hallway and from people walking on the streets. I could also see how the room had been worn down by prior guests, with dents in the lampshade, stains on the carpet, and even though I could tell the cleaning staff put effort in the bathroom (towel folded into swan, etc), the light was malfunctioning. Thankfully, it didn't bother me much, but for those who aren't used to ”roughing it,” this might not be the place for you.
