Crown Lodge Motel Oakland

Surface clean, but this place needs gutted or torn down!!

Like something out of a movie. The place is filthy, the neighborhood is beyond scary, with homeless people roaming around, everything locked up behind bars and grates, sketchy cars cruising slowly around. The room was worse, cigarette-burned sheets and bedspreads and furniture. Greasy chairs, slippery carpet. The towels are so old that they feel like sandpaper. The wi-fi didn't work even after three trips downstairs to the front desk to ask the completely disinterested and disengaged manager to please fix it. This is one of the most depressing places I have ever experienced and looks like a good setting for a snuff flick or slasher movie. "Low-rent" and "sleazy" are kind descriptors. There is a really good taco place across the street, though.

On a loud road but it was close to verything we needed. The room was clean but the bed was hard. Staff didnt speak much english but had pre-written signs they could point to to give us the information we needed.

We stay here. Often, friendly service, comfortable room & central location

We stayed three nights at this motel only to be disturbed all hours of the night by different people looking to buy drugs. There is obviously some sketch dealer that lives on the property that the staff is completely oblivious or they’re in on it. It was absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable how often there was yelling or something crazy happening outside. The air conditioner is so old that it’s so loud when you have it on. To top it all off, orbitz DID NOT give me the orbitz bucks for staying there 3 nights. One night was supposed to be $5.15 earned and so on and I received nothing. Overall bad.

Check-in went really smooth. Even the process of gettig a new key card when mine got demagnetized was really quick. The room itself is pretty standard. Not sure if it was room service staff or the previous occupants, but the room smelled like incense, which was a nice contrast to the usual smell of smoking rooms. The water pressure in the shower was awful and the shower head was small, the towels have been used and washed so often without replacing that there were tears in ours. MacArthur is a loud street and cheap motels attract loud people. That really can't be helped. Of the three nights, only one of them came without having to hear drama coming from other folks staying there, and the best rest I got was when I left my headphones in. Rooms was clean. Shower was bad. Other guests were loud and annoying. Staff was super nice and helpful. Solid 3 for acceptable and average.

i felt a very bad energy in the area and wish not to stay in that hotel another time

Check-in is through a window near the street. There is no office to go inside. Hotel staff was not immediately available. Was waiting outside check-in window while unsavory individual approached me.

the rooms had a smell, drugs sold in parking lot , felt unsafe to walk to my car. I will never stay there again , much rather stay in my car under a bridge .

Was ok. My experience was okay..but unwanted roaming around of non guest was seen. That is not ok.
