Oakland

I’m writing to formally express my deep concern and dissatisfaction following a terrifying and unacceptable experience during my recent stay booked through your platform at the London Inn at Oakland from July 26 to July 27, 2025. Shortly after checking in with my aunt and mother, we were immediately approached by suspicious individuals who aggressively knocked on our door and appeared to attempt to enter our room. Fearing for our safety, we attempted to leave the premises, only to find these same individuals blocking the exit and appearing to brandish weapons. We urgently contacted the front desk for assistance, hoping for some sort of support or escort to safety, but the staff member on duty was completely unhelpful and unresponsive to our situation. Left with no other option, we had to call family members to come and physically escort us out of the hotel. This was not only a frightening experience, but also a serious safety issue. We attempted to resolve this matter directly with the hotel and request a refund, but they refused to cooperate. Given the severity of this incident and the clear neglect of duty by the hotel staff, I am requesting a full refund for our stay, along with a formal acknowledgment of this complaint. I trust Expedia takes the safety and well-being of its customers seriously and will escalate this matter accordingly. I can provide further details if needed. Please let me know how to proceed. Sincerely, [Anthony Castrejon] [bastrejon@gmail.com]

Where to begin? I actually stayed at this hotel 15 years ago and swore I would never do it again. Due to the recent closures of two other hotels in the immediate Jack London Square area, this is the only the only one left. I decided to give it another shot out of convenience and I heard the hotel was spruced up a bit. The only improvement I could see was a newer coat of paint. Soon as I walked into the room I could hear the toilet running and after every flush I took the top off the tank to stop it from running non stop. Someone left a dog in a room down the hall unattended so there was a constant barking for about an hour straight. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is definitely not the place. The room was also supposed to include a microwave which was missing. Long story short, a dented up microwave was left at the front desk that I ended up carrying up to the 3rd floor myself! All this being said, the worst part of my experience was by far the customer service. From time I walked in the door, the poor attitude of the desk clerk Savanna. I would not wish dealing with her on my worst enemy. I came down to the desk one morning to find or inquire about the continental breakfast and Savanna rudely had the nerve to say "It's not on this floor sir, it's the second floor". Then she proceeded to sigh and smirk like some child as I walked away. I guess trying to get hotel information while she was flirting did not agree with her. Worst company representative ever!
