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Room was very outdated and not very clean.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 didnā€™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

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
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 Iā€™m assuming were the previous guest. Sheets had cigarette burns. Toiled did not flush shower had no curtain.
