Rodeway Inn & Suites Near the Coliseum & Arena

The price is very decent, especially for Oakland and the Bay Area, and a place so well kept. I have stayed in places much pricier that were nowhere near as clean or nice. It is by no means perfect, but it is much more than you would expect for $ 75 these days. Last time I was here, I complained about the stains on the wall and the mildew on the shower liner. Well, I am in the same room and both of those issues were taken care of. The carpet and the bench still need major cleaning. Hopefully, those things will be resolved expeditiously as well. The staff are polite and respectful. The grounds are picturesque –literally, they have a place to take pictures! There is no shuttle and over a mile walk to BART through an industrial neighborhood, but so far no problems with safety or security.

Second visit. Still like the place. The room is clean and the bed is great. A very good deal, huge satellite TV channel selection. I’ll be back!

Booked for 2 nights in this hotel but apparently they punched it in wrong and only made it for 1 night. Didnt even bother calling us first if we wanted to extend another night at least before kicking us out and already booking it for another customer when our stuff was still in the room.

I recently had a late flight into SFO and my room was given away. I called 4days in advance assuming the manager would remember since I have been a member since 2009. I was told they couldn’t charge my card. Well not not call me a customer which he clearly did not remember of 6years. I’m highly disappointed in the customer service I received I had to book else with choice hotels and it completely thru off our schedule for the wedding!

Sooo. My first time here and I was apprehensive because of the location. The hotel is in a industrial area close to the highway. Other than that– the hotel seems to be recently updated with newer carpet, paint and countertops. Totally exceeded my expectations. Clean white linens and towels! Don’t know if they have wifi. Basic continental breakfast. Stayed 2 nights while working in the area and needed a reasonably priced place to sleep and shower. Surprisingly quiet for being so close to I-​880. The room felt clean and I’m picky! I will defintly stay again.

I wish I can leave 0 star if I can. This place is disgusting. I wish I read the reviews here before I booked. First of all, the room was full of bathroom stinking smell when I first walked in. I called the office immediately for another room but the clerk said all the rooms were sold out. I had no choice so I turned on the ac. After washing (no soap, shampoo, conditioner.. nothing) I went to the bed. Omg… I could not believe my eyes… the four pillows were yellow with stains, there was someone else’s hair on the sheet… when did they wash these pillows and changed the sheet? I paid $ 98 for this shitty room? ?? I decided to leave a review on Unilocal immediately and I will call the corporate office and complain about how dirty and unpleasant my stay was. Uhhhh… I don’t want to sleep on this bed!!! Can’t wait to leave tomorrow!!!

Cute hotel in an awful area. We got the room to see an A’s game, walked from hotel but got a ride back at night since it seems sketchy. They offer dish for all the tvs which was awesome, at first the tv seemed like it wasn’t working but after receiving assistance from the front desk we realized we just weren’t using it right. We also brought our own towels and blankets but no complaints about this place, loved how close it was to the coliseum and I would recommend it for a one night stay at a low cost

I suppose it was comfortable enough for a place to sleep and shower, but I’m grateful that we didn’t spend much time here. It certainly didn’t seem like a three-​star hotel. We had to ask them to clean a nasty stain off the back of the bathroom door, and the room smelled funny.
If you like nice continental breakfasts, this is not the place for you. Cold cereal, a microwave for oatmeal, toast, and a broken juice machine.
The kicker for me was after once such breakfast. We were waiting to tell them about the leaking shower head in our room when the owner (?), a man, started yelling at a woman (an employee? his wife?) to get out, pointing at the door. She was asking him to stop yelling and being rude, but he kept yelling until she left in a huff. In front of paying customers. I was horrified and very happy to leave this place behind.

If I could have submitted zero stars I would. Run, don’t walk from this utter dive of a motel. The owner is nice, but there was a huge issue with the cable. Read: no cable TV until the beginning of the week.
Then, the room was like a beater car, but with someone elses’ hair in your tub. Grungy would be a compliment to this place.
We changed our resos immediately. It ended up being less expensive in the long run, escaping to La Quinta. I can breathe now…
(I even washed everything that touched any surface at the Rodeway Inn and Suites. Disgusting!)
I put 4 $ signs for the motel, because of the cost of medical visits you’ll need after just walking into one of their rooms.

Me: Dude, where the heck are we going and what the heck is this place?
Friend: It’s the closest hotel I can find to the Arena, we’ll get to our concert faster.
Me: I’m not so sure about this area man, I mean look at all the trash all over the place and shady characters loitering around.
Friend: Don’t worry about it, I’m sure this place is fine.
Me: What are you talking about about? Those look like bunch crack heads in line for the needle exchange program!
Friend: Stop being a worry-​wort!
Me: Dude, if they find my body hacked up to pieces under the freeway bridge I’m going to personally come back as a zombie and eat you alive!
Friend: We’ll be fine, look at the finely decorated Spanish looking courtyard.
Me: Fool this is East Oakland, why the heck did you book a hotel here? Your courtyard will some be a battle zone and I’m gonna be another drive by victim!
Yep, that’s pretty much how it all went down and look the hosts can barely speak a lick of English so communication was problematic. But no worries… I survived Compton, I should survive East Oakland right… right?

We just found this gem! We live in SoCal and had to go to the SF/​Oakland area for business. We usually stay in the city, but I wanted to bring my 100 lb. boxer/​pit mix so we needed a hotel that allowed large dogs. This hotel was great.
We used our AAA card to get a rate of $ 57 per night (plus $ 15 daily pet fee). The room was okay. The floor was tile (I guess in case of puppy accidents). The air/​heat worked well. The room had DirectTV with tons of channels. There was a small microwave and tv in the room. The shower head was waaay up high (great because my partner is 6 foot 3 inches tall). There is even a little doggy plaza with fake grass, benches and doggy waste bags!
The area is … when we exited off the 880 North at High St we were a little worried. There is construction going on and you have to drive down an industrial street. Then you turn into the walled courtyard and everything changes! They have really made an effort to create a relaxing environment. The gas station on the corner has super cheap gas and the swap meet is in the other direction a few blocks (I found Melissa & Doug trains for $ 5 one day!). The coliseum is a few blocks past the swap meet. The hotel is 2 EXITS from the Oakland airport. What more could you want for $ 60 per night! =)
