• Large convenient rooms, quiet, and a central location.
• Crumby TV and remote weak WiFi. Dicey neighborhood.

“Nice large clean rooms and very quiet. A good deal at the price I paid. It is two star. Weaknesses in include crumby TV and remote (even after replacing the remote), weak WiFi, and a dicey neighborhood. I've stayed here several times and will again, but don't count on good TV or WiFi.”

• The location was great for access to San Francisco and Oakland. Lots of upscale shopping close by.
• Not family friendly. We received a call to complain that our toddler was running in our room at 10:00 am.

“The location was great. It was close to I-80 and had easy access to the Bay Bridge into San Francisco. It was also easy to get into Oakland and other surrounding areas. There was a nice, upscale shopping mall a few blocks away. The stairs smelled terribly, like a mixture of stale cigarette smoke and strong cleaners. But the room smelled fine and was sufficiently clean. They did not provide many towels and only 2 bars of soap, no shampoo or lotion. The air conditioning was not turned on when we arrived so the room was a little too warm. The AC was quite loud and woke us up several times during the night. Overall, it was a fine hotel for our needs and the amount of money we spent.”

• Kitchen with dishes.
• Slow high speed Internet, NBC, and FOX News channels not working. Subscription not paid notice on screen.

“I requested a different microwave (turntable not working, power setting only worked on high). I requested stoppers be fixed in bath sink, and tub. I called several times, and by the end of the week none of the above were fixed. When a location charges a fee for Internet, and bills it as high speed it should be able to download a file faster than 32K the typical evening rate. Obviously Emerville has some problems, not the usual quality I get at extended stay in America.”

• Quiet, refrigerator and microwave in room, spacious.
• A little tricky to get to from the freeways. No views.

“For the money it is great! Easy access, quiet, spacious room with microwave and full sized refrigerator.”

• When checking out, no front desk staff, had to leave room keys with security guard.

“Location was good for being near bay bridge, access was a little tricky but close to many attractions and well priced. Staff was friendly, would stay again.”

• Staff was enormously helpful. Appreciate having kitchen area in room.
• Location - not for the faint of heart.

“Hotel was undergoing major renovations during our stay, which likely skews our ratings. Staff was always helpful and responded to our requests immediately. Rooms were surprisingly quiet, given proximity to interstate (excellent window soundproofing). Hotel is located between major shopping area and graffiti-covered overpass. Security was visibly present and we had no problems, but some travelers might be uncomfortable with this location. There is no restaurant, pool and courtesy computer.”

“Very Dirty! I will never stay there again and I'll be sure to tell my partners at Bayer Pharmaceuticals.”

• Absolutely nothing.
• Everything was below expectations - location, quality of rooms and amenities.

“This place overlooks a freeway on ramp and is depressing to stay in. The rooms make Motel 6 look luxurious. The staff is indifferent at best. The best thing about it was free parking.”

• Horrible smell, freeway thirty feet from window, stains on carpet in room and hallways.

“I would only recommend this hotel to someone who's only other option was to sleep on the street.”

• I liked that the appearance of the hotel was nice and staff
  was available.
• It did not have any places to eat out close by our hotel.

“This hotel was more for the working class that needed a place to stay. While it was sufficient for our needs, we spent little time since there were no places to eat or things to do.”

• Studio rooms; easy public trans access; inexpensive.
• It allows smoking & does not assign non-smokers to non-smoking rooms.

“Ex. Stay America-Oakland/Emery is a clean, modern, very basic, studio-room hotel. Very convenient to basic shopping, with upscale shopping and dining about 1 mile away. Easy public transit (bus) access, though 1.4 miles from BART. Free parking and adjacent to Expo center. Good for business travel or budget minded. Bare-bones hotel services & minimalist housekeeping makes it less desirable for family or non-economy traveler.”

“Smelled like smoke from the time I walked in. Vending machines took my money and didn't give any product, had to request a different room because of smoke.”

• I liked the fact that it had a kitchen.
• No jacuzzi or swimming pool.

“When I arrived it was very late but the hotel clerk was very friendly. The hotel rooms are all inside the interior a bit dingy, but the room was nice and clean and I would recommend for people who just need a clean, safe place to stay. Not for romantic get way but definitely kid friendly. Next to nice shopping center.”

• The outside looked really nice.
• The carpets were stained and old odor in rooms.

“We had the fire alarms going off during our stay. We had a notice about the fire alarm but, it was for a different date. The room had a terrible odor. We had to keep the windows open (next to a freeway). The carpets were stained. The rooms need to be updated to match the outside of the building.”

• It was clean and although it was a smoking room it didn't smell like it.
• The beds were a little to hard for my taste.

“The hotel was great and we had a nice room but the bed was a little hard.”

• No house keeping service.

“This is an extended stay hotel and was not something that I was used to staying at. I was expecting to get a nicer hotel.”

• 2nd room I was given was quite.
• Practically on top of the highway in a bad neighborhood.

“If you get a room not on the highway side and not on the 4th floor than all is okay. Be careful about walking alone a night in the area. Enjoy.”
