Oakland Motels

The location is great (North Berkeley) near plenty of restaurants. Exterior is quaintly decorated, interiors are nice and have a home-y touch.

Unfortunately the walls are very thin so be prepared to hear conversations clearly from the adjacent rooms. The water lines are especially loud. I am not a light sleeper but it is difficult to rest when you're woken every time a neighbor turns on a sink. Additionally, like many motels of this grade, the WiFi is totally overloaded. It is possible to connect to the network and check your email if you're patient. Expect to get internet connectivity in 15 second intervals every 2 minutes or so.

If you like good old-fashioned funky motels, you'll love this one. It could be anywhere in America, but it is a bargain in Berkeley. And the sushi bar which shares the parking lot is terrific.

Nice bathroom, had mini fridge and microwave, very quiet.

Beds were quite small, room could be cleaner, quite expensive for what we received.

The bathroom looked recently remodeled with granite shower walls, counter, and floor tile. There was a large flat screen TV with directTV. The room had a refrigerator and microwave. The bed was comfortable. The location was good. The price was good.

The room was dark and small. There is traffic noise from the street. Worst of all the room smelled sour and the air coming from the heater - AC unit was stale smelling. The continental breakfast was very basic, but I didn't expect much for the price we paid.

Rooms are clean

They ask$100 deposit on credit card when check in, actually we were charged $300 on credit and manager said we won't be able to get it because the toilet is clotted up.... Worst experience e ever!

A very convenient location, between a major freeway and a parallel major street. The breakfast was also very convenient.

The parking was very tedious, given that both of the lots are small and one of them has directional parking in which it is difficult to back out.

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.

Staff is very nice

no coffee at 05.30am

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...

This was not a Motel or a hotel. Do not book. Terrifying.

Cleaned every day. Easy access to downtown. No problems with staff.cheap.

It's not super quiet. I hear lots of traffic and loud people cross by the room but it is expected at a motel this cheap. Put the AC on to drown it out.

Even before I arrived I was impressed...they called me while I was on the road to inquire about my special needs (ground floor room only), and when I got there the staff was friendly and helpful, clearly Asian of some type but speaking excellent English; and then I got to the room. Amazing! It looked like it was 'fresh out of the box', clean and neat and very well appointed...a desk one can work a laptop at, a firm mattress and plenty of soft but sturdy pillows...and don't get me started on the glass-walled shower. I blanched a little at the price tag but I have to say, in the end, it was well worth it. Next time I visit the Emeryville/Oakland area I'll be staying there for sure!

Water view

No guests after 10pm

Staff was absolutely amazing! Really respectful! And we were situated with our room with no complications.

The room was not fully cleaned. The bathroom towels were wet. Trash was not taken out. Before giving someone a room make sure it's fully ready. Other than that we had a wonderful stay and we will return soon.

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!

The receptionist was rude!! He mistakenly overcharged me $10 yet showed zero apologetic attitude. Plus the towels had eyelashes and dust on them. Terrible experience.

Very clean, new TV and mini fridge. Wifi worked great. Staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. I was checked in by Kiki (I believe) and she was very kind and professional. After reading some of the reviews online I was preparing myself for the worst, but was very pleasantly surprised. Perfect motel if you're on a budget and need to stay someplace close to the city.

Pretty bad location in a seemingly bad neighborhood, but it was surprisingly quiet at night.

It was close to where I needed to be. I got what I paid for.

Walls are very thin, could hear conversations from other rooms. No maid service (granted they called the 2nd day and asked if we needed service). Towels were cheep and trying to dry yourself off after a shower...not very absorbent.

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.

The staff was extremely helpful and the rooms were very clean and well kept. I had trouble with the cable in my first room, so the owner came in immediately and began working on it, exchanging cables and repairing the wall socket. He then apologized and offered to upgrade me to a different room for the inconvenience.

The neighborhood wasn't the best in the world, but it wasn't terrible, either.

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.

Staff very courteous, considerate & efficient. Microwave & refrigerator very clean. Room very clean, comfortable, tastefully furnished & painted. King size bed with clean bedding; comfortable mattress. Deadbolt door lock. I felt very safe in room.

No elevator. No hand bar in shower & slippery bathroom floor. Truck noise; busy street.

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

Everything

N/A

Continental breakfast was ok.

I saw housekeeper put Clean linen on the floor and clean towels on stair siderail. Not sanitary.

Price was good, rooms were very nice and well kept, bathroom needed a little fixes her and there mostly for looks but it was very clean.

Very small bathroom'. Breakfast there wasn't much to choose from, but for the price in CA it was worth it. Near by neighborhood was questionable, but otherwise acceptable. Good for a business trip, and would go back again.

It was a run down motel ^ with a poor coat of paint and a 90 year old elevator. Mattress was paper thin.

Decent price. Not a bad drive to downtown SF.

Dirty. Found dirty women's underwear from the pervious guest in our room. Maids just did a very poor job.

Fast check in, very friendly staff, clean room, quiet, ample parking.

Beds weren't very comfortable, they sagged in the middle. Bathroom needed some minor maintenance, rusty door hinges, cracked tiles, and the bottom of the tub was stained.

Clean and quiet with friendly staff. Easy enough to get into San Francisco, and very close to the airport. One of the best Super 8's that I've stayed at.

WiFi, microwave oven, refrigerator. Very quiet.

Inadequate task lighting for unpacking and packing. (I always have this issue with hotel rooms, and I forgot to pack my good headlamp.)

It was cheap for our extremely tight budget

I thought it was rude that they asked me 21 questions about wanting 4 towels in the morning for my boyfriend and I to shower. Mind your own business...don't be so
