Negative Reviews
negative:
Noisy trains, and thin walls.
Amtrak, and other trains running through the Square, are heard in some rooms throughout the night. Eavesdropping, through thin walls, may be unavoidable at times.
negative:
Parking fee plus a deposit adds to charges.
The parking fee, with the parking deposit, seems a little steep for the small garage, which sometimes cannot accommodate all the vehicles during peak periods.
negative:
Smelly in some rooms, and in need of renovation
The Inn at Jack London Square is not a new property and it is starting to show. Some rooms could do with renovations and updated furnature, while others are not aired well and tend to retain and unplesant odur.
