Civic Center Lodge / Lake Merritt BART

A staff is so rude. I think he is owner’s son. He yelled at me in a non-English language when I checked-in. I was just confused. Owner is not polite, but I guess it is acceptable. Deposit is 100 dollars. Cash only. Thank God I had 100 dollars. No receipt for the deposit. I was worried, but it was returned. The hostel is close to the highway. If you are too tired, you can have rest. I was super tired, so it was fine.

The family that owns this place are rude. Like the entire family. The only thing that makes this motel at all ok is the price. The microwave is unusable. The shower does not drain. The parking spots are super narrow. The fridge is almost useless. The TV is tiny. I would have stayed here again if it weren't for how unnecessarily the owners are rude. I will stay in a worse part of town just so I know I'm not giving those people my money. Stay a night and find out. Horrible experience will literally never repeat.

This is a very standard motel, not the best location, but the important thing that it is near the BART station just minutes away. So if you’re going to San Francisco, it’s a good location to stay.

The location is questionable, and they requested a $100 cash deposit before conducting check in Additionally, they were unable to accept a card as a form of payment.

The staff was rude and were very disrespectful.
