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.

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.

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.

Liked: Staff & service

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.

You need $100 cash for a deposit. Who carries cash anymore? If you keep your car there past checkout, you will pay anything between $20-40 extra, depending on how they fee. And you won't get a receipt. Lost my keycard and that is a $10 fee. Location is close to BART, but the service is pretty horrible.

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 property is nestled next to the freeway. Using the car to drive to this property is inconvenient both for the freeway and the local streets. The management will take a bank card to pay for the room, however will only except cash payment for the room deposit, which is stupid.
