What guests think

At Bay Bridge Inn Oakland, travelers commonly find clean, basic rooms and very friendly staff, solid value for the price, on-site parking, and a convenient location near BART and highways, though the surrounding neighborhood can feel a bit rough.

Multiple reviews mention very low shower water pressure as a recurring downside. Some guests report lingering smoke or musty odors in certain non-smoking rooms, while a few note dated elements or occasional Wi-Fi issues. Expect a straightforward, no-frills stay focused on value.

Free parking in a massive parking area, convenient location for shops and tourist spots etc. and surprisingly quiet considering besing so close to main road. Room was clean and comfortable. Had a fridge and microwave but no tea / coffee making facility. The room itself was a bit dated and a bit dingy but you can call it retro I suppose. Had no lift, and ice machine was out of order (and looked like it has been for quite some time), sometimes reception was not manned so you probably want to be careful not to run out of things you have to ask for. These small negatives were still torelable, these were nothing to compare to.... the SHOWER. OMG, I never had to turn so many times to wash because the water had VERY little pressure and water came out like tiny spray. Not drips, but spray. You need to shower in sections of body with that little amount of water, and it takes AGES. I was glad I only had 2 nights there, it was such a chore to shower!!

Well maintained property, clean and attractive. Good quality furnishings. The large mini frig was a plus. HVAC worked well. Renovated bathroom was well done. Plenty of electrical outlets. Fairly quiet in area towards the back of the property. Lots of off street parking. Friendly and helpful front desk staff. The only item that prevented this review from having more 5 stars is that the water pressure for the shower was very low. Property manager should correct this. Otherwise it is a good value.

Fantastic place to stay in the East Bay! The rooms are clean, and the staff is both helpful and friendly. The facilities could use some updating.

Staff was very friendly. I liked that they had free parking and cameras monitoring the lot. It was easy to find and close to the highway, making it easy to come and go. The reason I gave it three stars was because I was not given the wifi password (nor did I ask) and the water pressure in the shower was poor. Otherwise it was a pleasant motel to stay at.

Property was well located for easy access, and staff was helpful and present. Room was clean and functional. The street outside was noisy, was I barely heard when I was in the room, which was located right on the street. The area has sidewalks and crosswalks, but it's sometimes quite a distance to most places on foot . Bart, however is pretty handy (10-15 minutes on foot).

I stayed here with not high expectations. I only needed a bed for a few hours of sleep before a predawn departure, and a warm shower. The bed was quite hard, but the sheets appeared clean (unsure about the bed spread). The shower stall looks new and there appear to have been other recent upgrades too. Although this room is a non smoking room now, the strong stench of stale smoke still lingers.

Was turned away at the front desk for not having a credit card instead of my debt card. Was told it was written in their policy yet found no evidence of this on the Expedia website. Was then rudely asked to leave the parking lot as I was searching for alternative lodging. Would NEVER suggest this place.

I was very pleasantly surprised with my stay at Bay Bridge Inn. Having stayed at a lot of very cheap motels, I was expecting sketchy characters, possibly a lot of noise, and overall gross-feeling accommodations. This was not the case here. The man at the front desk was very nice, quick and attentive. I didn't see or encounter any sketchy characters on the property whatsoever. The room was perfectly clean and I felt comfortable all around. The only downside of this motel that I can think of, is that it is in a somewhat unsavory part of Oakland, but I knew that coming in. I would absolutely stay here again.

I arrived at night and greeted by an aggressive male, making sure I was going to be only person staying in the room. Even after I explained that my nephew and niece were just carrying my bags for me after picking me up from the airport. The next morning was a lot better, he seemed like a different person. He got even nicer when I asked about a room for my adult son, as I wanted him close by. I had no other issues with my stay.

The price is very decent for the room you get. Room is very clean, and the onsite manager is very kind. But you get just the room (which is OK if that's all you need)! Keep in mind this two-star hotel is located at the edge of the city. It's probably best choice for travelers who drive themselves. It's within 5 to 10 minutes walk to public transportations including Bart train station and several buses. But be prepared to walk through some poorly conditioned areas.
