Bay Bridge Inn

Longfellow

10/10 Excellent

Although I chose this hotel because of the low price, I still had some feelings when I first entered the street where this hotel is. I wasn't sure if I would feel safe and comfortable here. I even asked to see the room first before accepting it--this is not something I usually do. It looked simple, but clean so I went ahead and took it. As I stayed there, I started to notice the inside and outside work that the manager and apparent family members did to make this the cleanest hotel they possibly...

Highlander Motel

Dimond

10/10 Excellent

I had no issues with the hotel. I rolled into town at 11:45 so I was probably the last one on site. I just needed a place to sleep and it was easy to find, the staff had my reservation through Expedia, and was exactly what I expected. The room had been updated recently and was very nice, a lot better than I was expecting for the price. Slept like a baby and left at 7:30am to catch a train in Emeryville.

Seaside Inn

Marina District

10/10 Excellent

My room faces the street and it was pretty loud all night, even with earplugs. Interiors have been updated and have all amenities you’d expect from a place charging twice as much. I’m bummed that the outlet by the bed I charged my phone in overnight melted my cable, rendering my extra battery pack unusable and I missed getting photos of my daughter’s race finish because my phone died. Overall, would recommend this hotel.

This is a traditional, no-frills motel: you get a parking spot, a bed, a bathroom, TV, and not much else. It was exactly what I expected and wanted! The room was clean and spacious, the bed was large and comfortable, the bathroom had a bath/shower combo with fresh towels and a bar of soap. I was able to park so close to the room that unloading and reloading was a breeze. For sleeping, the room was dark and quiet, and I awoke refreshed. They also provided wifi and a desk if one wanted to...

A reception desk with a modern design, a red door, and a sign that reads 'MUIR LODGE'.

Muir Lodge Motel

Martinez

10/10 Excellent

I stayed here when transferring over night from the west bound California Zephry to the south bound San Jaoquin through the Central Valley It's a two mile walk down Alhambra Street. Martinez is a very nice community and the Muir Lodge is no frills place with modern amenities and a great price, perfect for my purposes. It's right on Alhambra so there is traffic noise. Next time I will ask for a room further from the street.
