6/10 Good

This is a very standard motel, not the best location, but the important thing that it is near the BART station just minutes away. So if you’re going to San Francisco, it’s a good location to stay.

Reasonable price

The price is reasonable. The room was very quiet. The shower is good condition.

I’ve been staying here for years for work. Yes they require 100 cash deposit. Yes, they can be rude. Yes, the area isn’t the best. But they are good people, friendly most of the time

Fair price. Despite being next to the freeway, it was pretty quiet. Friendly staff. Area is not great, its Oakland after all.

4/10 Fair

Extremely rude staff I was honestly astonished, kept trying to put me in a smoking room until I showed them i specifically requested non smoking, also required 100 cash deposit upfront. The room was digusting stains on every layer of the bedding and all over the floor as well as socks from someone previously there the bathroom was good though. I do not recommend.

6/10 Good

Pros: convenient for mass transit. Clean and upgraded bathroom. No bugs. Cons: dirty carpet, thin pillows and towels. As a smoker I expect my rooms to be kind of shabby so I can’t judge much there, but the carpet is so dirty that I had to walk in my sandals or socks to avoid dirty feet and that’s always pretty gross. For the crappy neighborhood, it felt safe enough and was pretty quiet. I think if someone is okay with lower quality but nothing majorly negative then this place is fine but most people would probably want to pay more for a decent hotel.

Close to Public Transport

Good: 1. Room was decent enough for one night. The room was cozy. It had a frig and microwave along with toiletries. 2. The location to public transport. The motel is two blocks from Lake Merrit Bart and only a few blocks from Amtrak. Not so good 1. Homeless trash pile outside on the road. I totally get it as it’s Oakland but still not the most welcoming. 2. There is a cash deposit of $100 upon arrival. You can still pay the reservation with credit card. 3. Since it’s next to the freeway it can be noisy. Good enough for a night or two.

The room was clean. Bedding was not all that great in terms of comfort. The big plus is that it is conveniently located near a BART station. Unfortunately there is a homeless encampment nearby.

2/10 Poor

A staff is so rude. I think he is owner’s son. He yelled at me in a non-English language when I checked-in. I was just confused. Owner is not polite, but I guess it is acceptable. Deposit is 100 dollars. Cash only. Thank God I had 100 dollars. No receipt for the deposit. I was worried, but it was returned. The hostel is close to the highway. If you are too tired, you can have rest. I was super tired, so it was fine.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff are very nice and helpful, the location is two blocks from BART and within walking distance of Chinatown and the Jack London Square area. On Sundays, the Laney Flea Market is literally across the street, so that was neat too.

4/10 Fair

The family that owns this place are rude. Like the entire family. The only thing that makes this motel at all ok is the price. The microwave is unusable. The shower does not drain. The parking spots are super narrow. The fridge is almost useless. The TV is tiny. I would have stayed here again if it weren't for how unnecessarily the owners are rude. I will stay in a worse part of town just so I know I'm not giving those people my money. Stay a night and find out. Horrible experience will literally never repeat.

It's an old family ran motel. The area is sketch, but I felt safe & had no issues during my stay. Only downside, by choice, very limited English speaking by the front desk.

This is a clean, well lit budget property. The room was very clean and the shower was hot. This is the kind of place where you need a clean place to sleep, don't need amenities, want to support a small business and don't get too upset about the run down areas of Oakland.

Cash Deposit??

The room was fine. Kitchenette, fridge with working freezer, and microwave were great. The one surprise was that the required a cash deposit and didn’t give a receipt for the cash.

After notifying the motel of late arrival due to an Amtrak safety issue requiring Stockton police involvement, I was unable to provide a definitive time on arrival so was told reservation would be cancelled. Agent on phone rude & condescending. So booked elsewhere

The people here are as bad as it gets. Don’t waste your time. They make you pay at the property so you can’t receive any discounts.

This hotel required $100 CASH deposit. I had never heard of that before so I wasn’t caring $100 cash when I went to check in. I didn’t end up staying here, but the area around the hotel felt very unsafe and the hotel itself was very dark and dirty.

Front office has very rude man, who purposely gives you a hard time, like saying booking is not on file. Basically, you get what you pay for, a very old motel, clean property but junk encampment at the corner.
