I read the reviews and was still very taken back by the out laying area. Its in a not so pretty and run down industrial area. I continued to stay because I had no intention on sleeping in my car or going for a walk.

Check-in was fast and fairly polite. The busIness center Is sImply a computer In the corner of the check area but It was accessable. Free wIfI. The breakfast room was clean and in need of more snacks but I went out for food. They offered cereal and apples, o.j., apple juice and milk. I was a little disappointed because who doesn't enjoy a muffin or danish with their room coffee.

There were 2 floors and I did not see an elevator. The people above us walked around a lot and we could somewhat hear but it wasn't intrusive. The room seemed to be very clean and had a fair amount of space. It also had a large closet, iron, ironing board, a fridge and a hair dryer. The bed was great and the sheets were new. Lots of pillows were included! The restroom was also clean and well stocked with towels. The only complaint I really had was how dirty the carpet was. It seemed to be surface stains, easily cleaned with a steam cleaner. Other than that it was a pretty good nights rest and I felt very safe. Go ahead book and enjoy!

On a side note the entire area was no Beverly Hills even populated areas were run down. A Denny's was close and on the same road is a Swap Meet (if you're lookin to waste some time).

Was in town for the Raiders Game!!!! It is NOT in a bad area of town whatsoever, its in the industrial area of town, which means no bad neighborhoods. My friend and I walked from the hotel to the coliseum watched the game got nice and buzzed, and walked back to the hotel at night from the coliseum. It's only a 20 minute walk, not very far at all, give you a good chance to drink a couple of beers before you get to the coliseum. Not one person messed with us at all, actually encountered some very friendly people in Oakland, well maybe cause I'm a Raiders fan. The hotel was very nice, the grounds where clean, rooms were clean, looks just like it did in the pictures. I am only coming here from now on when I come to watch the Raiders games. Only $80 for the room after taxes, which is worth every penny.

The location was terrible we did not feel safe at all. Near the motel there are no supermarkets and the Bart is far. SThe rooms however were clean enough even though there was a stain on one of the towels.Stay away from this motel.

We were in Oakland for a concert and needed a place to stay. We knew nothing about the area...so, based on reviews I read on here..I booked this hotel. Boy was I glad we did!! After a previous night's stay in a hotel that even the Addam's Family wouldn't have stayed at...we were a little leery when we got off at the exit and saw the graffiti. But, when we pulled into the driveway, it was a pleasant surprise. The hotel is absolutely adorable and basically like a little island. It's surrounded by an industrial area..but, it's quiet and cheerfully decorated. The room was one of the cleanest we've ever encountered. The only complaint was mold on the shower curtain, which was quickly replaced when I called down to the office. It is right up against the interstate...but, with the air conditioner on..we didn't hear a thing and slept like babies. My husband was concerned with the safety of staying in Oakland..but, we had NO problems at all. The concert was at the Oracle and we were only a 5 min drive. The only downside is..there's really nowhere around to eat. There is a Boston Market right down the interstate and a Papa John's that delivers. So, we made do. Seriously...if you are going to San Francisco and don't want to pay the outrageous hotel prices or if you're going to the Oracle...stay here. You won't regret it!
