Crown Lodge Motel Oakland

Room had burned holes in the bedding and condoms behind the bedside table

Overnight and found this place via web. Actually started at the other end of this mini-strip of motels and rejected that place as too scary. This one looked okay from the outside. But still, talking with the clerk thru a bullet proof window and one of those bank sliding drawers should tell you something about the neighborhood. ||||Room itself was typical, functional. There was a mini-frig and flat-panel TV. No alarm clock. They have smoking (really?!) and non-smoking rooms. Couldn't get the Wi-Fi to work, but seeing the (visual) quality of the place, I'm not sure I'd trust their network.||||We were lucky.

I needed a room in the neighborhood for the temporary relocation of my tenant who had a fire in her kitchen. This place is a "motel" and you get what you pay for.

The rooms are not worth the money but it was late and we needed a place to just sleep. Strange people walking around the motel all nite staring like they want to rob you. The no smoking room was actually no smoking which I loved not having that smell. Over all not the best but definitely not the worst in the area. The guy at the front desk is awesome! He is so kind.

I have never written a review of a motel before. This is completely honest. Go to the Starlite Motel a block and a half away. Great value, great rooms. Three hundred dollars a week as of this date. This place has no refrigerators, no microwaves, and towels that would scrape the skin of elephants. They charge 65.00 a night. The reason that was explained to me for the lack of microwaves was that they did not have a license. This is a crappy place with no money that is trying to rehab on your dime. The staff seems nice, as I suppose you would have to be if you are selling crap. It smells as well.
