Oakland Motels

The location. The staff was incredible unprofessional and rude and there were bugs in the room and on the towels. Definitely will never stay here again.

there was nothing worth liking at this hotel. The check in was dealt with in the most unprofessional manner I've ever seen in any hotel. The uneducated, complaining, screaming check-in staff would have been comedy material if it wasn't for the fact they were responsible for getting me to a good night's sleep. The hotel was very rundown, moldy curtains, loud banging air conditioner, drunk guests on the balcony and walkways at 3am, smelly rooms. Overalll - flat out disaster and not even worth 1 star.

The staff was almost perfect. The front counter attendant was super friendly, courteous, and quick to check us in. His name was John and definitely was great. The location makes travelling to San Francisco fairly easy by car (25 minutes until downtown). The lake nearby (1-2 blocks) is very nice. The area doesn't feel ghetto, but definitely not super classy. There is graffiti/mural on the building behind the motel and it was so insanely gorgeous (my bathroom window had the perfect view of it). The place looks fairly maintained externally. Some Mexican guests next to us decided to blast some Mariachi/Folk Music at 2:30AM outside their room on an external speaker sitting in front of their room door for who knows what reason and we had to call the front desk and they handled the situation, but then our rude neighbors decided it'd be quieter to bring their speaker inside which made it even worse so after a second call the staff came to the room and told them in person to stop and then it was quiet. Situation was resolved in about 10 minutes in total. The paint is clean and doesn't look old and the outside of the building and parking lot also looked very clean. The staircases need some lights, both the adults (Sister and I) missed the last step coming down and luckily we didn't fall and just tripped. The bedroom we first got had hair on the sheets (I didn't personally see, but my sister had changed the room while I unloaded car and had a smoke). Our new room had used tissues in the drawer of the dresser. We had 2 Towels, 2 Washrags and 2 Hand towels for a 2 Double bed bedroom and it would definitely go a long way to do more washrags at minimum (I don't mind reusing towels, but not washrags and no washrag for face if you decide to shower). The floor had what looks like animal hair. So definitely if I had advice to this place, put out a ton of safety strips on the steps and lighting. Also, either fire your cleaning staff and hire some new ones, or start checking rooms they sign off on because they are not doing their job. Also, I would strongly suggest an enforced quiet time of 11PM weekdays and 12AM weekends and put a 1 warning policy before you kick people out. There are just some really small changes that would go a long long long way in improving the overall value in staying here. I didn't bother with the breakfast they offered (didn't even go in to look), but I heard it was pretty much slim offerings so a small variety increase would go a long way too.

I asked for a non smoking wheel chair accesible room at the first floor, they didn't have it! They gave me a smoking room without facilities for for a handicap person. Neighbors we're loud all night! Bad neighborhood!

Nothing terrible

The bed was pretty comfortable. The room looked very new. The smell was very strong -- an odor of the like you get with a new mattress. There should be more ventilation.

Location and price were ver good. Convenient to MacArthur bart station. The room and bedding were very clean. The room was not stocked with toilet paper. A coffee maker would be nice too.

Inexpensive Inn. Good relationship money/ service received.

Not much... Clogged synk, bad water pressure & terrible cust. Service. Were told manager would call us after we complained at checkout, we never heard from him!!! Other than that everything was perfect. By far worst motel 6 experience / done with motel 6.

The room smelled of cleaner. I saw them air drying the comforters, meaning they actually wash them. Shower looked a bit sketchy, so I avoided it. The family running the motel was very accommodating, and for that I am thankful. The cleanliness of the bathroom. The fact that you need an armed guard to patrol the motel parking lot.

Distance from Mills College Staff was pleasant and courteous, quick to respond when service was needed Mold around shower and bathroom window case

Has A/c Room is disgusting, things dont.

This was the worst, hotel I have ever stayed at. There was mold on the shower curtain, the walls were plastered with dirt, blood, and other things that I was unable to determine. There was nothing I liked! Everything!

I liked the microwave, fridge, bed, TV, and parking. The motel was what I needed for the time and it worked out nicely. I felt as though I was being watched and there was a big pile of trash near my room. I would not recommend this hotel to other people cause its in a neighborhood that some cannot handle. There was no water in my room the first day

It served the purpose. Proprietor was friendly. Fairly clean. Quite run down, no attempt to repair or renovate basic things. Wifi so slow as to be unusable.

It is only about 4 minutes to o.co coliseum. Bad area in East Oakland, I did not feel safe at all. The property is absolutely horrible. The room itself is dirty smells terrible no soap, no toothpaste, no shampoo only toilet paper. It smelled like dirty people were in my room 2 minutes prior to me coming in and having some dirty sex....cannot drive out without having to remove many locks. Under no circumstances will I ever spend another night in this place...

Did not look like the advertised photo at all...room had a strong cigarette smell too! Broken items, no working wifi... no integrity what so ever! I looked into this room for convinience, the idea diminished very quickly the moment I arrived to the place. No soap, trash can- nothing!

Nothing Room was dirty. No trash can. Not even soap to wash your hands. Parking was horrible. No ac. Horrible location

The staff was confused and confusing. The man at the front desk did not know how to retrive our reservation. Even with no other distractions, check-in took nearly 45 min!!! Quality of room was poor and I did not feel safe in the neighborhood.

Noisy, dicey area

The inside of the room seem clean and new. The motel is in the ghetto. It's for taking a person for a quickie. You just don't feel safe here. The price for this type of place was definitely not worth it. I've paid way less for way better hotels.

Pros.. (it's tough to think of any but..) The room was clean, the furniture was not damaged, the a/c worked, check in was quick, located right next to the fwy entrance. Cons.. Located next to dark industrial buildings, saw many vagrants at night. parking is not included; $10 but no security guard. reception area floors damaged at entrance. elevator seems to have been repurposed industrial type, got stuck inbetween floors and doors opened (used stairs the whole time). Carpet in hallways dirty. Doorlock handle very loose feeling and bar latch inside of the door, very loose(almost falling off). Room had only two electrical outlets, behing the bed and tv(very inconvenient when trying to use the iron). No mini-fridge available.

free continental breakfast I decided to stay an extra day, the hotel charged a lot more than the regular charge.
