Close to Public Transport
Good:
1. Room was decent enough for one night. The room was cozy. It had a frig and microwave along with toiletries.
2. The location to public transport. The motel is two blocks from Lake Merrit Bart and only a few blocks from Amtrak.
Not so good
1. Homeless trash pile outside on the road. I totally get it as it’s Oakland but still not the most welcoming.
2. There is a cash deposit of $100 upon arrival. You can still pay the reservation with credit card.
3. Since it’s next to the freeway it can be noisy.
Good enough for a night or two.
Fair price. Despite being next to the freeway, it was pretty quiet. Friendly staff. Area is not great, its Oakland after all.

Liked: Cleanliness
The property is nestled next to the freeway. Using the car to drive to this property is inconvenient both for the freeway and the local streets. The management will take a bank card to pay for the room, however will only except cash payment for the room deposit, which is stupid.
The staff are very nice and helpful, the location is two blocks from BART and within walking distance of Chinatown and the Jack London Square area. On Sundays, the Laney Flea Market is literally across the street, so that was neat too.
