Washington Inn

"Make sure to check your reservations and make sure it's for the dates you are staying and the staff very helpful and friendly. It's a safe place to stay, and there is night security/staff there to help you out. The lobby is very chill and comfortable as well."

"This place was cool a long time ago. It's now dirty, worn out, dark and dingy. The AC didn't work, drapes were all torn, windows didn't shut, paint dirty, stains on the wall, the bed and pillows were hard and worn out. It has good bones, but needs an overhaul top to bottom. I travel a lot and this ranks in one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. However, the staff is great."

"I didn’t even last 2 hours in the room. I understand it’s an older hotel but you have to move furniture to get to any outlets. It was VERY hot in the lobby and even hotter in my hotel room. The AC didn’t work in my room and I requested a new room. Front desk told me they couldn’t guarantee that the AC would in a different room. I cancelled my reservation and I STILL got charged full price for the night. Terrible customer experience and I’m never coming back"

"This place has sooo much potential for events. I only come here for comedy shows and have never stayed in the rooms. From an events perspective, the bar and food offering is pretty minimal but the service is good. I only get the 1 drink and 1 food option that I like. The chicken strips are actually nuggets but are tender and delicious. They aren't overly greasy or salty. Very good with ranch and fries. My partner doesn't like their fish option so he usually only gets fries with his martini. They do make his traditional martini well though. The bartenders are really fun and really nice. We also were here when a random karaoke night popped up. It was dead so we made the most of it. It is conveniently located and has a good amount of space so it could be a great spot for nightlife. Wish it offered more, but we come here often for a chill night out."

"This hotel has such an amazing, genuinely caring and accommodating staff. I’m A regular Choice Hotel client and I am in hotels for a few days every month. I get such a great care here at the Washington Inn. The Washington Inn is across the street from the Marriott hotel. I have no desire whatsoever to stay at the Marriott instead of the Washington Inn period this hotel is so charming and has such character. Each room just gives you a great feeling being here. It was built in 1913, and I just love visiting a part of history here. As a rule when I go into any hotel I’ll clean it to my specs each and every time upon entrance of the door on every surface I sanitize. Each and every time I’ve come to the Washington Inn, my white cleaning cloths have been absolutely spotless. Not even visible dust. The linen on the bed including the blanket and duvet cover is freshly laundered. And let me tell you that does not happen at other hotels. The housekeeping staff is phenomenal absolutely phenomenal. And you feel as if the air is clean. At this point if I were to find some dust there would be not one word I would say about it because they are very thorough with being sanitary in each room. And I have stayed in several of these rooms, because I choose not to go anywhere else when I come to this area of Oakland . If you can’t tell yet I am a very very satisfied customer. I just love it."
