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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
