We requested a handicap accessible room. When physically checking in, they said the current occupants extended their stay and it was no longer available. The room we had was filled with the smell of secondhand smoke (non-smoking room) and there was a live cockroach.

Jose Emerson

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

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
