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.

Aside from being a nostalgic structure with Victorian overtones, this is really a bare-bones hotel. Here on business and usually bringing an assortment of food, I found the lack of refrigerators not quite as alarming as the broken ice machine. No ice. No accommodations regarding the lack of ice. Perishables perished this trip.
Beds were so-so, uncomfortable, but the sheets were clean; the bedspread however had seen, well, apparently really better days...
Not really a user-friendly hotel for the business traveler. However, budget friendly for a budget inn.
Didn't work very well for me.

Free breakfast 7am-9am
Parking a hassle tho. City parking is $2/hr from 8am-6pm, or the hotel has parking nearby. Lots of food places nearby.

Great location and some of the most friendly staff. The room could have used more attention to detail in cleaning/ deep clean. However bedding was clean and conformable. With some new furniture, fixtures and a bathroom refresh. This hotel will be one of the cutiest in town. Get the king suite. Worth the upgrade.

I would not recommend this place.
The good:
• Old, unique building
The bad:
• Strange odor throughout the lobby
• 2nd floor corridors smell like stale cigarettes
• Room carpet is noticeably dirty/stained
• Room itself had a smell of urine
• There was a needle in the restroom
