Worst hotel in Oakland,California
The fridge was broken and the toilet seat was broken off the toilet. Both hotel rooms definitely needed a good cleaning by a professional!! Both hotel entry doors didn't seal right and you could see outside all the way around them!! The second room we were given had burn hole in the bed sheets and blankets. It didn't smell great. The bathroom window didnt work right the ceiling in the bathroom looked like it was ready to fall down and the back of the bathroom door was broken and ducted taped. The shower handle fell off in my hand. When I went back to the office and told the office worker I wasn't going to stay the rest of my planned stay she said it would be okay I just needed to be out before check out or i would be charged for another stay. I said that wouldnt be a problem. When i was walking back to my room I seen two hookers leaving with a guy that was staying there and also heard a drug deal happening outside my room window. This hotel was definitely not worth $69.00 or the extra $11.00 a night they also add on to that $69.00 its ridiculous! Don't stay here!

Hadn't been vacuumed. Furniture was dusty. My top sheet had two holes, the blanket was torn. On the other bed, the springs on the mattress poked through. The bathroom was superficially clean. I saw a qtip stuck between back of toilet and the wall for example and I don't know what was stuck in the sink's drain. The plaster job in the bathroom was not yet finished. And the so called Continental Breakfast was an urn of coffee with a gallon of whole milk and a stack of tiny plastic juice cups. You get what you pay for true but a lot of false advertising on the part of this motel too. .

Will not stay again
Room was very outdated and not very clean. There was trash under the bed. Although it was a non-smoking room, it smelled strongly of smoke. The walls had many patches on them including around the shower. The door handle/lock was hard to use because it was sticking. We had to use extra force to get it to open. Break was a joke. Sunny D, coffee, and a prepackaged danish that was hard.

Disliked: Amenities
There was no hangers in the closet, no glasses, no cups, no coffee, nothing. Neighbors were obnoxious and loud. The front door was barely secure. It seemed like a section 8 housing complex. And our rented by the hour. I n booked three nights and left after the second night and found a new hotel to stay at. And I didn’t even ask for the last nights fee back. I would never recommend this to ANYONE.

While I was checking in the two people in front of me were arguing about ligit claims of being overcharged. When I checked in he told me the room I reserved wasn't available and id have to pay more. He then told me to pay directly and cancel the original room with Expedia and he would okay it. The room was not only more expensive but he didn't okay the cancellation. They then refused any communication afterwards. BEWARE

The room had an odor. There were bold roaches in the room. They came out even when the light were on. Helpful and friendly staff.
