Motel 6

Our experience here was December 23^rd-​24^th for the Oakland raider game.
Service: 3.
Location: 5 (next to coliseum, jolly Rogers, and a medical marijuana shop)
Hotel room: 3 we got a none smoking room, but still reeked of smoke. My bf didn’t notice the smell. I did. Whatever.
Sheets: 5 we brought our own blanket and slept over the sheets provided. Used the heater to keep us warm. Didn’t notice any stains or smells.
I wouldn’t mind coming back next year for another game.
That’s if the raiders leave Oakland, hopefully not cause I really enjoyed our day trip to San Fran.

4 stars for what it is. East Oakland is ghetto. The rooms themselves are nice and in line with the modern Motel 6 look. The staff has always been nice to me, and they do a lot for security here. I ran into an issue once and the property manager/​owner even stepped in, and he was a very nice guy.
As long as you’re real and not a total whiner, it’s fine. The only thing I get kind of concerned about is my car because I have seen broken glass on the ground here. But that’s parking anywhere in the city or the hood overnight. Just don’t leave anything inside, especially backpacks of any sort. If you decide to stay and don’t want to pay a lot more, what else can you do besides take precautions and hope for the best?
I don’t think it’s a total crack dump with prostitutes hanging around. If it is, then I guess that’s their room, not yours. I’ve heard some ghetto cries (yelling) before, but that’s about it. Turn on the AC unit and the bathroom fan to drown out the noise, and zen out!

I have a good experience this time at Motel 6 the night time staff is wonderful especially Adelina she was magnificent she definitely deserves accommodation for a customer service she was professional efficient courteous polite friendly enthusiastic sensational she deserves to be a manager I have no idea why Motel 6 doesn’t put their nighttime staff for day time they are so wonderful pleasant friendly open smiling like they love their job thank you Miss Adelina for a wonderful experience hope to see you as a manager soon

What a piece of shit this hotel is. I’d give it no stars but it’s not an option. Sketchy ass people walking around. Shitty small rooms. No extras. This place blows.
Room stunk like smoke. Beds all burned up. Can’t wait to get out of this shit hole and go home.

This is probably the worst motel ever !!! Prostitutes, gangs, all kinds of stuff and that all just for one night experience. Went to go get some soda and water, found cigarette buds all over the floor. In the morning some young lady started to bang on the door and knocked out the window with her hand, blood was all over.

Phone does not work.
Shower just drips, no pressure at all. Can’t get a taxi to the airport.
Bed was comfortable though#!

Housekeeping will steal your stuff be aware. Very loud at night, smells like marajuna in the room, cigarette burns in the blanket. Rooms are small and walls are thin. I was not able to sleep.

Terrible place front desk ladys are nice. But neighbor is way too loud if u want to sleep well stay away from this hotel Now is 2am they still playing music I can smell drugs too

This place is not family friendly. It is so sketchy and the «guest» here move covert. I think it’s drug activity here.

DO NOT STAY HERE ON A WEEKEND!!!
The room is clean. Staff is nice. But They WILL NOT respond to complaints of loud at 2am, then 8am, weed smoking neighbors.
We stayed here on a Thursday night and it was fine. Friday night — sat morning was a complete s-​show! I’ll never stay here again and I suggest no one else should either! It’s 10am now and these fools next door have been yelling and carrying on since 8am!
It’s unfortunate because it’s not the motel’s fault the neighbors are super loud, but they just will not do anything to fix the situation.

I checked in around 740pm tonight w my 2 yr old son. I planned on staying until Saturday. I stayed in room 2414 waaaay in the back which looked sketchy anyway. But I was optimistic after seeing the «modern» photos, that the rooms would be great for the cheap ass price.
I popped in dropped a few items off and took off to grab food and drop my friend off at Bart. I got back around 930 pm. I fed my son, getting him settled and bringing my clothes up. Right when I went to put my son under the covers, I noticed the sheets were filthy. There was a brown looking poo, dirt or dry blood stain on the sheet; the pillows dirty and had hair, cigarette burns on the covers, tub was dirty; toilet DIRTY, and the phone was not working and was wet when I put it into my ear to it. I was COMPLETELY DISGUSTED!!!
I of course had to use my cell to call down to front desk to comolain, they said they would change rooms. I had at this point made up my mind to gtfot! So I had to pack all our crap and go back down to the front desk. I told her I wanted a full refund and to checkout. Both ladies kept repeating that they could not do a full refund because you would have to be in the room no more than 15 mins.
I ask to speak to the manager, and he comes out automatically with an attitude. «Aniss» is his name which fits perfectly because he was a complete ASSHOLE! He went on about my being in the room for 3 hours and waiting to complain at what was now 1030pm. I told him I did not notice the dirty sheets and other issues until I was getting settled in. He again mentions the 3 hrs. I told him I checked in and left and just recently got back to settle in. He then tells me he can check the cameras. I’m like, please do!
The whole time he was upset about having to pay me a refund and losing business. He treated me as if I was the nasty housekeeper, and as if I broke the phone and made the tub dirty etc. Of course in the end I got my full refund, and even though he told me once he did that I could never come back. I told his ass I would never do business with Motel 6 ever in life! And how confused I am that he is treating me as if I have done something to him because I don’t want to compromise and take another room. Let’s be real, the same person who «cleaned» that room, did the other rooms right??? So why in the hell would I be comfortable changing rooms? Gtfoh, Check ur damn staff! And take some customer service classes!
Key points:
Room dirty ass hell
Sketchy ass people
Rude Manager

We needed to book a room last minute on a busy weekend and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. The room was clean and modern with comfortable beds. Safe location with security at entrance all evening. Would defiantly stay here again.

Cheap rates for the area. Two of the front desk ladies were friendly, one was kind of scary and frequently yelling at people on the phone. There was some awkwardness with the billing but they sorted it out and threw in free wifi. Pet friendly, so that’s awesome. Room was clean and modern-​ish. Nice TV. They give you one tiny soap and absolutely nothing else. $ 3 for a micro shampoo from a vending machine. They have security guards at the driveway, kinda weird. But all in all would say it was worth it.

And here we are 2 months later…
We were finally able to get in touch with Claudette some claim specialist team leader or whatever, who stated they accidentally double booked our room and that the guest that checked in while we were out must have committed the theft.
Pretty much pinned the robbery on a mystery“guest“so watch out anyone wanting to stay here because if one of their staff members steals something chances are these people will blame an innocent by stander that could be anyone of you.
She stated that since it was their «mistake» they would reimburse me for my lost property.
A few days later, without me even agreeing to anything they simply send me a letter in the mail stating that we have «agreed» to settle for a measly $ 100, but what about my Hotel stay? What about my friends laptop?
To add insult to injury in her unprofessional letter she states «a theft that allegedly occurred»…If it was indeed an «alleged» theft then why are they assuming responsibility by offering to pay out money in order to keep us «happy»?
I must mention that the $ 100 is supposed to also buy our confidentiality in the matter.
To be continued…

Just a 1 night stay. Not bad for a motel 6, haven’t stayed in one for years. Check in was difficult it took forever but there were alot of people checking in. The rooms were updated and cute kinda 60’s mod look. Bed ok and they had cable.

You get what you pay for.
Came on a Tuesday afternoon and the line to check in was out the door, even when they had 3 staff members checking people in.
They have a security guard outside checking cars in and writing down the number of passengers in the vehicle and your license plate number.
Rooms are basic with a corner table and a full size bed
Shower head was off the and didn’t seem to want to hold up.
Only stayed because it was the only reasonably priced place near OAK that was booked same day.

If zero stars was an option…
I booked a client here in several rooms, and the hotel kicked them out at 10pm one day into their stay, without explanation. When I called the front desk, they advised that they would not be able to assist in the resolution of an issue they created. My client refused to even go back to the hotel as they were so incredibly rude.

Horrible experience!!!
–Thrash all over the parking lot
— thrash cans over flowing in the second floor
— rooms smelling like some one just smoke a joint
— sticky floor
— no towels
— dirty underwater behind bathroom door
— dirty shower (and I mean dirty).
But I got a $ 20 dlls discount!

The facility was packed on Saturday night and could be a bit intimidating, although my stay was uneventful and quiet. Security was high profile. Door locks were solid and secure.
The room and furnishings have been updated but were plain, but clean and adequate for a single traveler. At $ 65/​night, the price was ½ to ²⁄₃ of other Oakland motels.
Admittedly, it is a very basic accommodation: no shampoo, no conditioner, no iron, no hair dryer, no shuttle, no microwave, and no fridge,
Wi-​Fi costs an extra $ 3
A+++ They Are Pet Friendly!!! And there is NO pet fee.
So — not a luxury stay by any means, but ok for one or two nights. It’s cheap but cheap does not=terrible.

My NON-​SMOKING room REEKED of tabacco and marjuana smoke, and my allergies were feeling it. Ironically, the non-​smoking sign was attached to the bottom of an ash-​tray that rested on the bed-​side table. WHAT!!!
I washed my hair with awful bar-​soap, as it was the only toiletry item provided.
The high-​security – parking lot guards and plexi-​glass barrier around the check-​in desk – really freaked me out. I felt more like a prisoner than a guest. If I were to stay near the Oakland airport again, I will seek out a traditional-​style hotel, rather than a motel.
