Rodeway Inn Alameda-Oakland

Clean and Simple. Located next to shopping. Clean. Quiet. Staff helpful.

Its a place to crash. Nothing wrong with it, just very low frills.

First time stay for this brand and selection because of location and it did not disappoint. Easy well-lit parking, clean microwave and fridge plus small table, a desk, dresser, and hair dryer. Public transportation at the property's doorstep yet found the room to be well insulated.

Second time staying here. I liked a) that they keep improving the facilities (a lot of new paint since i was here last) and b) the management is so personable and friendly - they remembered I had been here even tho it was many months ago! I had two really comfortable nights here and will stay again.

The property is not top shelf, but are continually doing maintainance. Its convenient and the price is right

Dont stay there, it is very run down and unloved

Fast checkin. Courteous staff. Adequate parking. Even with the meal at the Pho restaurant (had the #9 excellent!) my $ total was considerably less than i usually spend on accommodations in Oakland, so yippie! hot dog! and Merry Xmas to me!

When you pay $2 for a McDonald's Cheeseburger, don't a A5 Wagyu 8oz burger... When you pay $2000 for an used 1999 Mustang, don't expect a Porsche 911 Turbo... When you pay $90 for a hotel room(like I did) in the very expensive San Francisco Bay Area, don't expect the Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton... I was traveling solo and that I only needed a room for 9-10 hours, I made a last minute decision to save $100 and switch from the Hawthorne Suites(very nice!) to this very budget situation. PROS: -Cheap, No bugs, cheap, beds were actually decent, cheap, hot water, free parking, cheap, good location to walk to eateries, bars and shops, cheap, fridge, cheap, microwave, cheap, very safe neighborhood(all of Alameda?), and did I mention its cheap? CONS: -Run down, very old, needs lot of new paint, needs a deep clean, needs to bedding(IKEA is very close by?), needs a little bit of artwork, there is a coffee machine but I didn't dare risk using it, I'll highly likely never stay here again, but would do so if I was in a lower income bracket. Again, you get what you pay for.

This is an OK place to sleep. That's about it. It needs a little attention. An example is there was blue masking tape on the laminate floor to cover defects (broken spots) in the flooring. Room 209

Check in was easy the lady was very nice however... Room was filthy! The floor was wet and sticky and walking on it turned out feet black so we wore shoes the rest of the stay. We didn't use the shower because the bathroom was so dirty,walls floor,base boards,door etc. Amenities weren't bad hair dryer didn't work. Over all wouldn't have been a bad hotel if it was properly cleaned. Wouldn't stay there again sadly since it was very conveniently located to main strip and the price wasn't bad for the area but not worth it for the lack of cleanliness

I've been to truck stops cleaner than this motel.

I booked a non smoking room and was given one that smelled nauseatingly like smoke. The next room was dirty with burn holes in blankets and dirt on floors and counters. Toilet not clean. I did not feel safe nor comfortable.

The room is unhygienic overrun with cockroaches.

Shower curtain had mold, lots of dust collected on phone screen overnight. Other guests were noisy, talking loud on their phones early in the morning.

No frills, convenient 1 night stay! Checked in at night, booked the same day. Quiet area, walkable to dining and stores. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Customer service was great! Con: Building is somewhat older, can hear your next door guests, and there was mold on the shower curtains. Would stay again if needed.

I had two nights First night I didn’t stay. I was with friends Second night I went to my room 9:00 pm The toilet had pee on it Sink had water on the side like someone just used it Complimentary lotion was used. On top outside had dried up lotion

I reserved a non smoking room and when I walked in the stench of smoke hit me. I got a second room that had burn holes in the blankets and dirt debris on the floors. The toilet had not been cleaned. My anxiety was triggered and I asked if I could check out. He said I had to call Travelocity and Travelocity called them. I was able to cancel the second night and receive a refund. I went to my event and came back, got my bag and went to the Hawthorne down the street. Never again.

Filthy. Trash from previous guest was left. A chain smoking family was obviously living in the room next door. Bedding was stained and had holes. Beds had only two small crappy pillows. Flooring was coming up… walls and woodwork were filthy. We left.

Great price. Simple, straightforward lodging for weary traveler.

Simple but clean, functional, and comfortable.

While the room was fine, the walls are thin. I could hear the conversation in the next room. They weren’t shouting but were laughing and talking until 2:00 am. The street noise was also loud. I only got about 2 hours sleep.

Check in is extremely late at times.

The Rodeway Inn in Alameda is a historic landmark having been in operation since 1965. Take a walk back in time and enjoy Paisley patterns on the curtains and sheets. The Rodeway Inn in Alameda is located in the heart of town right on the main street and is easily walkable with plenty of food options and public transportation nearby. This is a Family owned hotel with an attached restaurant that offers room service and check in 24/7 This is the only place I stay when I am visiting the Bay Area. You cannot beat the good vibes and hospitality of this place oh if these walls could talk they would scream don't listen to any of the nasty reviews this place is old and a faucet may be leaking but you cannot match the old Alameda feel of this place great location, great staff, immaculate vibrations 10/10 and the price is unbeatable

Rodeway Inn in Alameda, CA has an excellent manager. She is always professional and respectful of tired travelers. We've used this Inn on many occasions and have always been satisfied.

Owners very rude & kept walking past room looking in the door every time I went back to room. I couldn’t even understand what the motel owners were saying, very poor English.

Arrived and went to front desk, where the clerk immediately told me my card had been declined. This is before she asked for my ID or my credit card. I said "let me go to my car and get my phone so I can check." I was not sure if I chose prepay or pay at the hotel, so I wanted to check. The clerk asked if I still wanted the room, and i said yes. When I returned moments later with my phone, the clerk said again "Your card was declined. Do you want the room?" and I replied "yes" as I was checking to my reservation on my email. She then said something like, "Do you want the room? These people want a room if you don't" At this point, I gave up and told her, go ahead and give them the room, I'll go somewhere else. It felt like and argument from the time I walked to the desk. My card was declined because a fraud alert was sent to my by my card issuer regarding this transaction. I went on to Extended Stay America in Alameda, and had a very nice stay there instead. So it all worked out.

Fast checkin. Courteous staff. Adequate parking. Even with the meal at the Pho restaurant (had the #9 excellent!) my $ total was considerably less than i usually spend on accommodations in Oakland, so yippie! hot dog! and Merry Xmas to me!

We need help from the desk person, and they could help us, but did not care. I would recommend another hotel. We then went to Coral reef a few miles away, paid $21 less, they helped us into a better room and they had a free breakfast. DON'T BOOK WITH ROADWAY

Friendly

I had to extend my stay in the bay area on short notice, and then I had to stay longer, eight nights altogether. As it turned out, I had to spend seven days and nights in the room, not leaving at all. The room was a safe, comfortable place to spend that time, and the staff were kind and considerate. If I had been able to leave the room, the location would have been an excellent base for a visit to the area, with easy walking access to plenty of places to eat, drink, shop, and enjoy local parks and walking trails. The location is also convenient for access to local public transportation, including local and transbay service.

The area was really quiet during the night

Close to College of Alameda; nice staff. Easy access to bus lines.

Convenient motel. Area was a bit noisy at night.

Great place to spend a night. Peets near by. Walkable distance to the beach. Very nice staff. Thank you
