For the price we didn’t expect much-we could deal with the area and the company around the other rooms—but no heat at night —no no no. Had to sleep fully clothed in shoes to try to keep warm! Staff was super nice. It was run down — but the cheapest

Cons: Smells like cigarettes inside the room, lots of burn holes in blankets, roaches in restroom, microwave was half burnt light bulbs were out in restroom and in main room lamp. Key card did not work until maintenance had to replace batteries in the door unit which took a whole day. Had to get something from the room and while the key card did not work since maintenance hadn’t come yet, I went to front desk and no one was there to let me in. I waited for 30 minutes. Pros: Fridge worked well, shower worked well, A/C worked well. Great location for the Oakland Marathon.

Good Enough... 👍

The room was adequate... clean and near the office... my only minor complaint was the noise of neighbors... throughout the night... even up to 3am. It's central to several restaurants and a grocery store, also within walking distance of a nice lake.

The lovely black lady who checked me in was the highlight of my stay. I was sick and she gave me a blanket from the dryer and helped me unlock my room. Otherwise was one of the worst hotels having worked at one rated and priced the same i was astonished at the bad quality. But only stayed a nigjt thankfully.

The front desk was fine, but not positive or kind. The rooms were incredibly worn down and the cleanliness wasn't good. There were other people's hairs all over the bathroom, and every corner was dirty. We weren't given any towels. It was a "you get what you paid for" experience. The bed was surprisingly comfortable and the air conditioner worked sufficiently.

I never thought I would have to write a review like this in my life but here I am. I guess, in order to get everything, chronologically is best. Upon check-in, the lady was anything but friendly. She pointed to the signs that say there's a $200 fee for smoking, unauthorized guests, or pets - this has a purpose. When I got my room, the bathroom window was open, so I went to close it and looked out quickly to see ladies panties, baby oil, and feminine hygiene products outside the window - is this establishment hourly? When I did close the window, I noticed the massive pile of ash on the window sill that was clearly not cleaned - who would have known about smoking when the smoke detector was most obviously not operating, as the battery compartment was open and empty. I continue to look at the bed, which has a comforter with dozens of burn holes in it and sheets that were anything but clean. Because of this, we went to the front desk to ask for new sheets and the response was "You're lucky you're not on the second or third floor." Apparently stairs are not in the cards for the front desk. So, time for a shower... but no towels, no soap, no shower head - AMAZING pressure, though. I do hope you enjoy the towels we left for you, maybe another guest can be so lucky to be able to shower. Fast forward to the morning before checkout and we have craziness of domestic violence next door. I do hope the poor guy dealing with that absolute basket case of a woman didn't get in any trou

Missing shower curtain, knobs on shower barely worked,telephone missing. Next door guest fighting and yelling and screaming before her other person in her room kicked her out, then she was beating on doors and windows (including mine) finally she left.

Booked this for my husband. He was working in the area so after a long day at work he wanted to get to his room. The air conditioner didn’t work and his toilet was clogged. The next morning before work he asked for a plunger at 4AM where he was insulted and told he was a squatter and couldn’t be helped. The staff working was beyond rude however the owner Nick, did reimburse us as he refused to stay another night. Just be weary

I was very disappointed with the condition of the room. The room was not properly cleaned, and the bathroom was particularly unacceptable. There were cockroaches and other bugs inside the bathroom, which made the room feel unhygienic and uncomfortable. I expected a much higher standard of cleanliness and sanitation. This experience was unacceptable, and I believe the hotel should address this issue immediately and take steps to ensure that rooms are thoroughly cleaned and inspected before guests arrive.
