Worth the money, the room was pleasant.
Pros:

This motel is across the street from Laney College, near BART and walking distance to downtown Oakland, Chinatown and other central locations. The immediate area is safe. My room was clean and the cable television has a few interesting channels.

Cons:

There is a $100 cash deposit required.

Pros:

I did not stay there the staff are rude disrespectful and will waste your time be discramaive and rude.

Cons:

I did not like any of the things about this hotel . I’ve stayed there before the rooms are clean and tidy and nice but the prices are not worth the value and there over charging people and ripping off customers and not being honest and being nice and respectful. Not a good choice. 💯I will never mess with them again.

Horrible Experiencia
Pros:

Lo bueno es la ubicación, ya que queda a pocas cuadras del centro, a pocas cuadras del lago, y auna cuadra de la estación de BART.

Cons:

Hice una reserva en Booking por 4 noches, cuando llegué el dueño me dijo desde su ventana de forma muy maleducada, ni siquiera me quiso atender, que no había disponibilidad, tuve que ir a buscar otro a la 1 am, Mal para booking también porque la reserva la hice por ahí, creo que nunca más utilizaré booking.
Regresé al día siguiente, el cuarto estaba sucio, el microondas sin limpiar, todo sucio, me quedé las 3 noches restantes de mi reserva y nunca hicieron la limpieza del cuarto.
Ya antes me he quedado ahí varias veces y la verdad que por el precio y la ubicación compensaba el mal servicio, pero esta vez fue el colmo, no regresaré nunca más.

Pros:

After notifying the motel of late arrival due to an Amtrak safety issue requiring Stockton police involvement, I was unable to provide a definitive time on arrival so was told reservation would be cancelled. Agent on phone rude & condescending. So booked elsewhere

Pros:

The room was clean. Bedding was not all that great in terms of comfort. The big plus is that it is conveniently located near a BART station. Unfortunately there is a homeless encampment nearby.
