I booked this hotel based on the photos online, but the reality was far from what was advertised. From the moment we arrived, we were deeply uncomfortable. There was what appeared some questionable activity to be polite -some ladies were dressed that left me wondering- one was wearing what appeared which might add it was cold she was wearingbathing suit. The surrounding neighborhood did not feel safe at all. We had reserved two rooms for two nights, but after seeing the conditions, we walked out and never stayed. One room had a toilet that wouldn’t stop running, and neither room had working heat or air conditioning. At check-in, the man at the front desk gave us a slip of paper to place in our car that essentially summed it to park at our own risk — not exactly reassuring. Despite not staying even one night, we were charged for the first night as a cancellation. It’s incredibly frustrating to have paid for something that was so misrepresented and felt outright unsafe. Thankfully, we were able to stay at our daughter’s apartment instead. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone — please do more than just look at pictures when booking. We learned that the hard way.

I picked the hotel for its convenient location to the train station and the ferry. The hotel itself is just ok - many outlets didn't work in the room, and there was no AC, making the room a bit stuffy. Breakfast was very basic. The WiFi worked well. However, given the reasonable price, I'd stay here again.

Great space for longer term stays. They are always friendly the desk, but the breakfast, just get your own. It’s no more than milk and cereal that you can’t take to your room to eat. You have to sit in a weird cafeteria. And the women are very very very mean.

OK for the price, cheap place to stay in Oakland. You get what you pay for, if you are looking for something up market then this is not for you, if you a looking for a basic place at a reasonable rate then this may well be OK. Beware that this is right by the railway which runs down the street outside, so expect train horn noise at all hours. The reception area is a bit dated but the check in was swift and easy, and on the two seperate nights I stayed I noticed the deposit that was taken was back in my bank account very soon after check out. The corridors are grim, but the rooms I had were both OK, nothing fancy but clean and warm. As stated, an OK place for what you pay. Near the Amtrak station and boat to San Francisco. One downside is the rough sleepers who hang around the streets but nothing the hotel can do about that. Breakfast very basic nothing special, just juice, coffee, cereal and toast.

They wanted gave us blanket oh my god we are in hotel and don’t come here to sitting and take a blanket.hopefully we understand what the meaning of hotel and be responsible for our clients who pay all and need comfortable and relaxing.

Excellent overall for their economic pricing

Trains run right in front of the hotel, and since their track is on the road, they honk whenever they pass by to alert people on the road. I was woken up five times a night, but I was so tired that I fell back to sleep five times. This isn't the hotel's fault but it's worth noting. Ear muffs are recommended. However, with their pricing for a private room plus restroom in SF, I would come again.

Well, first he started off with the first receptionist, not being very helpful and asking about Wi-Fi, but we could look past that it wasn’t until we got up to our room, which not only was the elevator horrifying going up and coming down, but the hallways stunk. They were very scary looking you can see gaps from the doors underneath. Then once we got into our room, if you didn’t shut the door, the door stood open. Inside the room was dirty. It smelled. They had a piece of wood at the top of the window to keep it closed, which was not secure at all and I have a four-year-old who is autistic and I did not need her opening the windows and God forbid anything else happening. Not only that the TV’s color was weird so we just didn’t watch it. The bed wasn’t comfy. The pillows weren’t comfy. Nothing was really clean. Then once we got into the bathroom, there was no soap for us to wash our hands with, however, there was soap in the shower, which I guess also qualified as The hand soap, but not only that there was a noise of leaking and it was the shower I tried turning it off, but it kept leaking so I don’t know how long the shower was leaking, but that whole bottom of the shower was all wet then in the morning when we took a shower, there was no hot water. It was freezing cold at five in the morningnot only that since the shower sucked we had to use the sink in order to bathe ourselves then when we explain this to the front desk in the morning upon checkout, the receptionist was ext
