Cheapest I got and tbh it wasn't bad. Looks war torned but housekeeping was on time. I had towels. Doors locked securely. There are cameras. Rooms were clean. Quiet environment. Bars were a walk away. It did not smell of smoke. Covered car park. I did not see not one cockroach and there were no bed bugs. For $88 flat which was the cheapest in the area this was a packaged deal. I was allowed to check in early for a fee. The second time around they waived it . Rooms are always available so I guess we can stay there in cases of emergency

Had a reservation but there was a maintenance issue in that room. Since it was their last room the manager got me set up in another motel across the street and called to make sure I got the same price. He just took care of it in a way that made it a non- issue for me outside of physically getting to the other motel. I appreciated him taking the time to reassure me and let me charge my phone so I could use it to pay when I got to the new motel. Very patient and understanding.

Overall was a great experience. The rooms are a little old and run down, but the bed was super comfortable. Not exactly the best of neighborhoods, but was very comfortable. No bugs or creepy crawlies whatsoever. My number 1 thing was as a male cross dresser, I not once had a problem whatsoever from the stuff or others staying at the property. Thet still made me feel very welcome. The stuff was nothing but kind. Even when I continuously locked my key card in the room, lol. Next time I'm in oakland I will come back.

I stated there a few times and its nothing better than seeing old faces that are still there as the earth is youthful ot is a mature setting and noises are accepted but not with the okay ,its with trusting yourself and not free speech ,as I've been forgotten ,I get rembered and vice versa while a budget that a government provides makes a place this affordable and cozy for what I know is home ,homeboy but my pants are up today lol
