The Washington Inn

The room was tiny and comfortable. Perfect for one person. The best part was finding Sam's Market a block away, a lively food court with good restaurants that gave me a sense of today's vital urban Oakland.

Breakfast was almost all carbs, breads and pastries. The advertised restaurant in the hotel was not in business, nor did the bar operate. My TV did not work. The only bed lamp was a swing light from the adjoining desk, which proved clumsy to work. I used my flashlight in bed. I turned to in a room fitted for a disabled person, but I expect someone in a wheel chair would find part of it unnvavigable. The bath looked great for such a case, however. There was a lot of noise due to the room overlooking the main HVAC area.

It was the least expensive hotel in the immediate area by about half. It was only 1 block from our convention.

There is a reason why this was the least expensive hotel in the area. The toilet paper holder was partially pulled out from the wall. The shower was large, but with a few missing tiles.

Nothing- moldy smelly room Linens were so old and disgusting- no view at all,. Staff was rude and disinterested. Breakfast was awful. Elevator was dirty and fallimg apart. This place needs to be taken down! Everything was so old - looks loje mo effort was ever made to ipleep or renew. Beds were old and mattress felt like it had beem around for 50 years.
