We stopped there for two nights on our road trip to visit San Francisco. The area is a bit sketchy, so watch out for your car, they don't take any responsibility for what happens in the parking lot. Also the company on the floor was a bit shady. The room was small, musty and not very clean. Houskeeping failed to... More

Stayed here one night. Needed something fast and close to airport. Room was ok. Internet WiFi was terrible. Never had a reliable signal. Bathrooms were not clean. Bed was very comfortable. Room was quiet. Average experience, expensive In comparison.

I am a commuter ( I live in Houston but work out of Oakland.) I used the shuttle with no issues. Everyone has been polite even at 12a. I checked in and out with the same front desk crew. The room was clean, fresh towels and the ac worked fine. The breakfast/server were good. Even the shuttle drivers were nice.... More

Overall, decent hotel to catch a plane from, but communication was poor on getting the shuttle from BART to the hotel on a cold, rainy night. Was told shuttle would arrive 10-15 minutes. Got there in 10, waited 15 more, no shuttle. Called and they said the shuttle had been by but we weren't there and that it would be... More

The Hotel is very convenient to Oakland International Airport and near the freeways. The room was comfortable and pretty quiet knowing the airport was very close. Front Desk staff was professional and friendly.

When you can't get someone to answer the phone when you're calling from the airport for a shuttle pick up, you know it's not going to be great. Not a very customer friendly hotel. The staff barely recognizes that you're there. Having said that, after having to call 4 times for a menu, the Asian salad was really great and... More

Rooms were good for the price. However, we were there on business and although the wi-fi was free it did not work, nor did the wired connection in the room. Made it a little hard to do business. We were there 3 nights and had to get our room card reset each day, what a hassle after a long day... More

I chose this hotel for proximity to airport and rate. An older property, but the rooms are fairly updated and clean. I had a quiet room at the end of the hall on the 4th floor. I don't think there was anyone staying around me. Close to lots of restaurants and fast food places. Less than a mile from the... More

From the moment I arrived and saw airline pilots checking in I knew I would at least have a clean room. My king sized room for 10 nights was the right size, and had a very cozy bed. I will say being in the front of the building was not ideal as the main road and the Harley store generated... More

I chose this hotel because of its location practically on the airport property and because other Red Lion Hotels were really quite good. Not the case with this one. The hotel has a tower plus two other units on the back 40. The tower may have been OK. But the unit in the back, was terrible. I was in the... More
