    Not suitable for disabled people; sidewalk broke up not safe for a disabled persons. Hotel and rooms not ADA compliant. Toilet too low if you are disabled but great if you were a child, clogged most time. It stated house-keeping every day, not true at all. Continental Breakfast, not continental at all. They had coffee, ok flavor, milk, cereal, toast. No trays to carry anything to your table, no fresh fruit or eggs. Shower has no place to put shampoo or soap if bending to the floor was not an option. no anti-skid rug in the shower and not towel for floor after shower. All the hookers in the hallway were entertaining up to a point...

    This was an awful experience. Although the check in attendant was corgial, there were many "Ladies of the night workers" walking around and simply dirty elevator. We ended not staying there. It was too unsafe and dirty. My money was not returned unfortunately.

    The staff was fantastic; friendly and helpful. I was disappointed with the breakfast- toast, toaster pancakes, cereal. Luckily the location is awesome and all kinds of foods within walking distance.

    The hotel has spiders and bugs. Although I can’t complain about the staff because they were actually helpful and kind. But the owner of the building should really consider renovating it. That will be no more than $50 a night. Honestly, I woke up in a roach was on the other bed dead!

    There were people screeching and fighting in the hallway which scared me away. I wouldn’t recommend it.

    the newly remodeled rooms don’t have access to the ac and you can’t open windows and it was 70 outside but felt like 90 in the room for no reason. also the mini fridge didn’t have a freezer tray. breakfast was lacking. staff was nice.

    The room is clean and the hotel was great, but it’s still oakland, still sucks and the trains wake you up in the middle of the night

    The location is great, only steps to Jack London Square. Property is old, dirty but super cheap. We just had to stay one night.

    very bad hotel & not safe for Families. Room shows non smoking but so much smoke smell. I asked Hotel.com as well as Front desk to cancel after 30 mins after check in but they refused. I wish I wouldn't booked that hotel.

    Expedia needs to remove this hotel from their site!! The customer service is terrible ! The photos look absolutely nothing like it does in real life BE AWARE!! It essentially feels like it is being turned into a shelter ! It is absolutely filthy , it is a safety and health hazard our room had an uncovered thermostat ! Again be AWARE and stay vigilant !!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Hallway was dirty, carpets were filthy, the room spelled so bad, we couldn’t breath through our nose. Windows wouldn’t lock and AC was very loud. Would never stay there or recommend.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Good location with free parking. Grey dark hallways, flooring in the rooms not done well.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Decent room for the price Decent area lots of restaurants bars close to public transportation & bart. Nothing at this time.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The sleep ok. The maids? Very rude. They are not fair. They don't speak English. The maintenance is fair. The night manager Howard is very dark. He is not pleasant. And they prejudice. Change the minfset

    Este hotel no debería estar considerado dentro de las opciones de Expedia. Un hotel casi en abandono con mal olor en todo el edificio. Las camas y habitaciones con una dudosa limpieza y sin aire acondicionado, solo nos ofrecieron dos ventiladores de mesa. No se puede considerar que existe relación entre el precio y la calidad porque tu vida corre peligro; cuando llegamos en grupo familiar habían chicas casi desnudas ofreciendo sus servicios o entrando y saliendo con sus clientes del hotel. Tiene estacionamiento pero hay muchos vehículos que parecen abandonados o con todas las pertenencias de alguien dentro, se puede dejar el vehículo bajo tu propio riesgo. Pueden decir que obtienes lo que pagas pero las fotos que están publicadas son una completa farsa.
