Top African American Museum & Library Hotel Reviews

Marina Village Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff and super quiet here"

Jack London Inn

2/10 Terrible

"I would avoid this place. Check-in staff was not helpful at all. Very questionable people all throughout the hotel and parking lot. Lots of shady activity going on. Apart from this the train is right across the street and will keep you up all night as numerous trains continue to pass through throughout the night."

Sonesta Emeryville - San Francisco Bay Bridge

4/10 Poor

"Booked a king room and was “upgraded to a double queen.” The upgrade was the fact that it had a view. I wanted a king bed not a queen. The night auditor didn’t explain this to me until after I was checked in and went to my room. He then explained to me that they had no other kings available. If that was the case why was it available for me to book? Next, the A/C was very inefficient. It blows poorly and did not get cold at all. I also expressed this issue to the night auditor and he had an attitude about me telling him. He proceeded to let me know that there were no other rooms available and wanted to send maintenance to my room at 1 in the morning. I was tired and checked in at 12am. It was already late. I will be disputing as this was not a great stay."
