Motel 6 Oakland, CA - Embarcadero

I wish I could give no stars. I’ve been going through several hardships, which is why I came here in the first place. From the very first day we checked in, I was disappointed and frustrated because the heater didn’t work, there was no microwave, and the refrigerator was extremely small. None of this matched what was advertised on the booking website, and it immediately made an already stressful situation worse. My brother and I have now been staying here for two weeks. When we tried to extend our stay today, we were suddenly told that we had to leave because guests are not allowed to book longer than two weeks. This rule was never explained to us at check in or at any point during our stay. Trying to find a solution, I attempted to make a new reservation under my name, but the front des

The location is everything! It feels safe at night, I saw a security guard when I was taking my dog on the last walk for the night. The perk of dogs staying free is outstanding. Yes things are run down and some neighbors are sketchy, but overall it was pretty clean, peaceful and there was a great view in the back, so it was overall pretty much worth it! The staff were pretty amazing too!

Positive: The staff. Super friendly and helpful. Negative: TV didn’t work in the first room. Got transferred to a different room and the AC was not working properly. And Door lock was missing bolts.

car was robbed and smashed. Took everything. Man parked next to me had his trailer stolen. The worst area, looks great in pics. Its not, surrounded by crackhead and homeless encampments. Bathroom had excrement on the floor and walls. There was a woman completely naked at 8 am hanging over the balcony calling to truckers. The landings were filthy. This is without a doubt hands down my worst hotel experience ever. Manager couldnt even be bothered to look on the camera to see who robbed my car and smashed the windows.

Great place to stay. Super affordable and good location. The view is pretty good. There's a nice area along the water where you can take a stroll, and a dock in the back you can walk out onto. Its not super quiet, but its not insanely loud either. Its probably one of the best motel 6 I have stayed at. The biggest appeal, I think, is there pet friendly policy. You just have to tell them you have pets (up to 2) and they put a $100 hold on your card, which is refunded after your stay (though sometimes it takes a week or 2). I travel with my dogs sometimes and thats a big reason I choose Motel 6. I had an issue with them not having the room I booked available this last time, but Stephany made sure we got refunded the difference and offered us the correct room when it became available, but we d
