The parking and the lady in the office (Pati) were the best two things on that property. The housekeeping lady did have the bed made, but they give one wash cloth, two drying off towels and a step out the shower towel. I shouldn’t have ask for a roll of toilet paper when the room was just cleaned. They should mop the floor in the restroom, and the room smelled of cigarette smoke. The furniture was broken and very outdated, the mattress had a sink in the middle of the bed, the tv was ghosting on all channels and we had to call because they were not trying to give us the room. It was very deceiving that the pictures were not accurate with the room we received. For some reason they said we did not have a reservation on their end and they did not see it until we made a phone call which was hard to make because we could not obtain a number to reach Hotel.com.

Stayed in room 107. Wow. This room isn’t advertised on the internet. I didn’t know The Harris had a suite. It felt recently renovated, new, very clean. The AC didn’t work well, only working at times, but other than that, it was a great, large, clean room. Everything was very clean. Thank you to the owners of Harris Motel.

Nothing The person at windows told me i didn't book a room I gave him the confirmation number and the code. He said he did not see it and for me to go stay outside of the premises to call booking.com so I had to pay 120$. He was so rude and disrespectful at that time of the night.

While many consider this a so called bad neighborhood, I am familiar with the neighborhood and it is very convenient including a shopping center, medical clinic and planet fitness walking distance from the motel. There is a black owned sports bar next door and for people with transportation, other commerce is one mile away and San Leandro, a very nice suburb is also a mile away. Satellite TV has a lot of channels. I was put in a smoking room without asking my preference. The wifi didn't work. My room wasn't clean. The property is old and the toilet was broken.

I called ahead of time before booking to ask if I had to leave a deposit, I was specifically told I did NOT need to leave any deposit which is why I went ahead and booked. Once I arrived I was told I needed to leave a $100 deposit, when I told the clerk I had called ahead he got an attitude and told me he didn’t have time for this and proceeded to cancel my booking. Extremely rude and hostile, would never go back there again.

Couldn’t even open the room door the first time I tried to get in. The tv had no remote, there was a few punches in the wall it looked to be. The hotel room was clean but it had its downfalls such as burn marks in the comforter, ammonia like smell in the bathroom, and the water from the shower looks like it was going under the foundation. Unclear directions on check ins as well.

Absolute most uncomfortable stay I’ve ever had. The front desk agent was rude and non informant. The door to my room DID NOT close completely nor lock efficiently. Even requesting a different room desk agent shrugged her shoulders like she couldn’t believe that was my complaint. Overall highly recommend staying severe anywhere but here. Especially if you have children or pets.

And the noise comes from the busy street that's all. I recommend staying here also the bed are comfy. I stay with my 9 year old daughter.

The guy is a liar and very rude. When I originally dropped a friend off there to get a room he told him it was $165 so we left to get money and as we went to the bank we decided to look on this app to see if there was a place. We found a room here for $83 and when we returned to show the booking he was annoyed and said “I can’t help you because we only have double beds available so no room for you there isn’t any rooms available.” Granted my friend lost his cool because he was tired, it was cold, and he just wanted to lay down. His customer service is disgusting even when I tried to be a voice of reason and not disrespect him he disrespected me by calling me a liar and shooing me away and turn the lights off on me. I showed him the booking and all which he replied very snarky “ call Expedia and they’ll find you another place or give your money back I’m not helping you!” I would never stay here if this was the last Place on earth excepting customers.

I realize paying $70 for a motel in Oakland is the very definition of getting-what-you-paid-for...but damn, there was a half used soap bar left in the shower. The room reeked of smoke, and didnt look like it had been properly cleaned in a minute. We only stayed overnight en route to the airport, so it filled that need, but just barely. Nice enough lady at the desk, tho.
