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Room was very outdated and not very clean.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.

2/10 Poor

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.

6/10 Good

I was good for a place to sleep. I liked the walking distance to Lake Merritt and to the BART station. But the room itself was questionable. The bed was so-so. The bathroom door didn't full close. The show rack was falling off. There were dents/wholes in some of walls. The walls themselves were very thin and easy to hear people outside. Again it was fine overall. I definitely think I paid too much for it. But it was still a nice place to crash considering everything else.

They gave me the room closest to the office & when I said I'd like another, they charged an additional $50 per night! Then they brought me to the new room - is reeked of some type of smoke but I was tired & thought I could get used to it. I then took a shower & the smell of fecal matter was overwhelming! NEVER AGAIN! Plus, there were 'Ladies of the Evening' & their 'Handler' hanging out in the parking lot. Just a really big NO on this place!

Walked in to find dirty socks on the floor near the bed. Upon opening drawer there were clothes from what I’m assuming were the previous guest. Sheets had cigarette burns. Toiled did not flush shower had no curtain.

Very basic needs motel
It's a very basic unit to stay over night.do not expect anything more at all. Door locks for you at night , you get warm water to shower & a decent bed to sleep at night is all that you can get in this place. If one has to find faults there are numerous numerous. But looking at environment, location in the surroundings, we only hoped to get bear basics . Which we got , so we were satisfied. Cost is still high,but what we thought, was our car wasn't BROKEN INTO, we didn't ran into huge rude dramatic behaviour , so just stayed put !! There are no eateries very much closer , but in 10 minutes of driving distance , u can find decent ones . Walking around the motel IS NOT ADVICED AT ALL. WIFI is NOT GOOD AT ALL. table lamp is broken in terms of wire being literally CUT INTO PIECES! Just lamp structure is kept for showcase . No room service , but we did not at all want any , either . DO NOT LEAVE ANY valuables in your ROOMS .
