This hotel is in Oakland. I have never stayed in Oakland. I gave it a shot and was stunned at the comfort level of this hotel. That bed was incredible. The front desk staff was among the best I have experienced, and I travel frequently. The young lady who assisted me (her initials were GG, I cannot remember her name)... More

Friendly staff, Clean and comfortable rooms. Will use same hotel in the future.

The hotel property itself is dated, but well maintained, with clean, updated rooms and a nice lobby. The property itself is surrounded by abandoned businesses and barbed wire fences, which makes it feel less nice than it really is. Our room was located in one of the two story annex buildings off the back of the main hotel tower. The... More

While the Red Lion is close to the airport in Oakland (five minutes by free shuttle) it is really more of a motel than a hotel. I had to walk out across a cold parking lot from the reception lobby to get to my room in the “west wing” of the facility. Several people who were apparently hotel staff members... More

Nothing special but got the job done. Under $100 a night over the weekend and has a king size bed, small table/ chairs, desk, and bathroom. Looking for hotels near oracle arena because we were going to watch the Mavericks play the Warriors and also needed a shuttle. $5 per person each way and it drops you off at the... More

I returned to my room after my grandmother funeral, with my three daughters and my room was hazy from marijuana smoke. We opened the door to air it out and I complained again. The area was very bad and I had to... More

We had a quick layover in Oakland on our way to Hawaii...arrived at 10:30 p.m., had a flight out at 7:15, so would only be there for 6 hours. We wanted someplace where we could get a good six hours of sleep. We chose the Red Lion because we'd stayed at others before and were satisfied with both the price... More

Booked online for a very cheap price because I paid in advance and got a non-refundable rate. Called the hotel from the rental car center and they had a shuttle there within 10 minutes to get me. Check in was fast and room was cozy. Very noisy outside of my room about 4 am, sounded like a garbage truck making... More

I was stranded at OAK, promptly called the front desk and quoted me a price for $70 for the night. The gentleman directed me toward the shuttle service and I found myself in the lobby of the hotel in 10 minutes. After a few minutes of waiting for those ahead of me I was asked the the clerk Alvin if... More
