The first room no heat, could not see out of the window. I asked to move to a different room. Was able to get a different room the next day. The room was great until I used the toilet. The toilet had flushing issues . I had to take the cover off and manually make the toilet add more water to flush out the toilet of number 2. At first it did not flush good it would back up. Had to increase the water flow into the tank prior to flushing so the flushing would complete the draining cycle. Over all it was a good clean room . I was happy

The rooms and hallways all smelled of marijuana, cigarettes and bleach. A lot of the doors don't work, and the elevator is rancid. Nothing is cleaned, and when it is, it's sticky and done poorly. Reviews online are a lie, I would never stay here again. would give zero stars if i could

Good enough for the price!

This hotel is not for the faint of heart but if you can handle any Motel 6, you can handle this. The lobby experience can be a bit intense (front desk staff were awesome though), then you have to navigate the utterly depressing hallways to your room. However, once in your room, it's wasn't too bad considering what I paid. I didn't have air conditioning and unfortunately you cannot open the windows in the front of the hotel but I expected this. My room was a little beat up but clean enough. Running the fan on high drowned out the general noise of the hotel and the trains. My only real complaint was that my fan was FILTHY, those things could maybe use a bit of a dust. This was my second stay here.

When I was looking for a hotel/motel before even arriving to California this place was advertised as a good place to stay. The pictures look good upon arriving. It was awful. The place just looked old and ran down. There were not so good people staying at the place and smell like marijuana as soon as you walk into the doors in lobby area , I did informed the male at the desk of my concern with the smell But then realized Oakland is place that it’s legal to smoke marijuana so of course it would smell like that, The prostitution that went on, there was awful all throughout the night this people come in there no clothes on or half ass dress, It’s a good thing I didn’t have kids with me The place just look dirty even though it was clean Paint peeling off room doors and loud nose all day in hotel and the train next to hotel didn’t help matters, The fightingthat went on while your trying to sleep had to call desk and informed them someone was fighting in the room next to mine Get up and got out of room blood on the door handle next to mine , No small towels are available or no towels you had to wait for a bath towel no hotel soap at all for the while stay , This place do not go to Not worth the money It should a been a 20 a night hotel I do not recommend this place and I’m never renting this place again They need to tell the truth about it in the advertisement through Expedia I had rent my daughter a room also but she was smart enough to read reviews and cancel
