Continental Lodge Oakland

Location is wild but the hotel is immaculate and nicely renovated. Parking is ample. Hotelier is kind and friendly. He runs his hotel well and obviously takes pride in his work. My wife have stayed here multiple times and it is always a joy to stay here

Exquisitely clean, the proprietor takes great pride in his gem of a motel. Easy access to spare but comfortable room. He showed me rooms with clean carpets on the second flood and clean hardwood floors on the ground floor. (I chose the ground floor.) Everything worked: electric outlet near bed, WiFi, blackout curtains and upgraded sink. I was not looking for luxury, just a place to sleep. The Continental lodge was perfect. Five stars!

When night falls this is a sketchy neighborhood, so we especially appreciated this clean, well maintained motel. We stayed here only because it is within walking distance of our daughter's apartment and during the day the neighborhood is fine to walk in. The desk staff was pretty businesslike but efficient. There was a microwave, fridge and tv, all clean and fairly new. Parking is directly outside the rooms.Price was reasonable and the motel was totally quiet despite being full on a Saturday night. If you need to be in or near this neighborhood for a night this is the place to stay.

I have to say, my expectations were low for this motel considering the relatively low cost, but I was pleasantly surprised (relieved) to check into a clean, quiet and comfortable room. The free parking is a small lot but we never saw it full. The employee who checked me in was friendly (as friendly as you can be through a glass barrier) and I was promptly buzzed into the office door (which was locked each time I went) when I rang. I would definitely stay here again.

Owner is very meticulous and it shows. Rooms are very clean, spacious. This isn't in a great neighborhood true but you won't be walking anywhere anyway. The bus stop is directly outside the hotel and liquor store is super close.
