The reception staff are rude and arrogant. They should change the reception or close the hotel because the ceilings in some rooms are in poor condition and pose a risk of collapse.

There was never anyone at the front desk to help. They did not have coffee or pastries in the morning. The rooms are uncapped. Much noise throughout the night coming from outside.

The front desk was fine, but not positive or kind. The rooms were incredibly worn down and the cleanliness wasn't good. There were other people's hairs all over the bathroom, and every corner was dirty. We weren't given any towels. It was a "you get what you paid for" experience. The bed was surprisingly comfortable and the air conditioner worked sufficiently.

The guy who works the front door is horrible he denied me a room after i already paid for it online. He called the cops on me & lied said i threaten him. I asked him to give me a receipt or something that says hes canceling the room i booked, he refused for a 2hrs straight. He would not give me a room or a receipt that said he canceled my room. I will never book there again. Dont waste your money here

I'm not trying to be petty, but our ac/heating unit didn't work, my sister in law and I are in mobility wheelchairs, so we couldn't change rooms and it was cool in the room yet we had to stay in there. They should compensate me a some of my money back. Expedia it's not your fault. Stayed at America best value inn East 12th Oakland CA Downtown
