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!

Room was very outdated and not very clean.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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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 .

This was the worst hotel I have ever been to. We arrived and were then charged an extra $12 per room. When I entered my room, the air conditioning did not work. When we opened the refrigerator, water came running out. The TV was also broken and our window couldn't be locked. The neighborhood was really bad. And that was just one room! We rented 4 rooms, and you wouldn't want to hear about the other rooms. I feel like I was robbed. Picture looks nothing like the real place

I did not arrive to the property, as I had a family emergency which prevented me from making my planned trip. The problem I have is that though I spent an exhaustive amount of time trying to reach the property by telephone, the telephone line was never answered, and I was prevented from canceling the reservation, therefore, my resources were usurped.

The lovely black lady who checked me in was the highlight of my stay. I was sick and she gave me a blanket from the dryer and helped me unlock my room. Otherwise was one of the worst hotels having worked at one rated and priced the same i was astonished at the bad quality. But only stayed a nigjt thankfully.

The room was adequate... clean and near the office... my only minor complaint was the noise of neighbors... throughout the night... even up to 3am. It's central to several restaurants and a grocery store, also within walking distance of a nice lake.

The dirtiest, most run down motel I've ever stayed in The phone wasn't even plugged in or working and the room hadn't been cleaned. The staff was far from friendly. Homeless staggering around the property. If it had been cheap, it may have been ok. But it cost me $84 for one.

It was disgusting from the moment I walked in. Floor boards dirty. Light switch dirty. No tv in the room. Toilet disgusting. Side table lamp disgusting. This is not a hotel it’s a stay-in-live hotel. They restrict who can come to your hotel room. None of the vending machines work. The employees are rude and disgusting and not polite. I found a cockroach in my room climbing up the walls. The walls are too thin and you can hear people using the restroom and their conversations.
