Wow. Truly a hidden gem.
I didn’t expect much due to the pictures that make this place look old, rundown….but perhaps I had a recently renovated room? Almost flawless. I truly feel like I got a tier of service that is only provided for people that spend $250 a night on a room.

I can the room was CLEAN. Yes, cleanliness is the bare minimum but when everything is so clean including the light switches not have grit in between, the bed frame itself was free of dust. The glass mirror don’t have toothpaste and water spots. What can I say? I was so impressed I extended my 3 night stay to a 4th night. Multiple towels, face rags, hand rags and friendly immediate housekeeping that tidied up the room and provided new towels & amenities. Maybe to some what I’m describing truly is bottom barrel but my experiences at hotels San Francisco Bay Area has always been lackluster for the price.
Rodeway Inn Alameda is the opposite.

I will absolutely come back. No doubt. Thank you to the family running this place.

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.

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.

Umm...

I just needed a place to stay for the night to wake up early and get to a meeting the next morning, and the Rodeway Inn was good enough, I suppose. There was hair left over in the shower/bathtub, and some pretty heavy mildew on the shower curtain, but the rest of the room seemed okay. The hallways tended to be loud - I got woken up in the morning by a loud guy yelling at his buddy outside, but it was fine; I needed to get up anyways. I can't say for sure that I would never stay here again, but I think I would heavily consider alternatives.

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

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

Foul odor and dirty

The non-smoking room smelled awful, like old cigarettes and mold, and there was human hair on the “clean” towels. When we requested fresh towels for the room, there was hair on those as well. One of the women at the front desk came off as snippy and was generally unpleasant. Would not recommend staying here for any amount of time.

Despite my search and location history and the properties I’ve used with Expedia ALL being in Sanfrancisco,the app somehow at the last minute booked me in alameda Oakland and not the rodeway inn that I was directly across the street from. I paid and thought the coast was clear. Only when I went to check I did I see that was not at the right property. I used $75 one key cash I had toward the stay so I’ve lost that plus the balance I paid out of my own money. I also now had to book an extremely cheap rundown motel and had to pay a taxi to haul us and our bags. I did talk to Expedia and rodeway about this and got zero help. Why would I all of a sudden want to switch cities? Seems fishy to me and I plan to push for recompense.

Not a good experience.

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.

Great Budget Friendly Hotel

This amazingly affordable hotel in the expensive Bay Area is run by a lovely family. It is simple, no frills, but the beds are comfortable and the rooms are clean. It is not a super quiet location, but is located near shops and food. This is a great place to call home while visiting the bay on a budget. The people running it are responsive and friendly. It is now my go to place when I come to the bay for work or pleasure.

It appeared that the property was in the process of being renovated, but it looked worn. The swimming pool had been filled in with dirt, but not maintained. Covered with weeds. Room curtains were Ill-fitting and could not be completely closed, resulting in early morning light and lack of privacy. I realize that it takes time and cash to fix the problems, but the whole facility was really run-down and in need of help.

Much of the room was dirty - bathroom floor had hairs swept into the corner, the corners of the kitchen all had some kind of nastiness, the wall need cleaning, the inside of cabinets, fridge, and closet could use a good wipe down, etc. The carpet ought to be replaced at this point. It's pretty nasty and worn.

Three huge guys acting like children, stopping louder after we complained and wanted to change rooms.
Unfortunately, they were all sold out, so we asked for a refund and got our things and left at 1130 pm! I didn't feel safe or comfortable in that room or hotel.

There were plenty of restaurant's in the area within walking distance of the hotel. The Beach was easy to get to and enjoy. I had reserved a non-smoking room and was given an ashtray room with bullet holes in the front door. I guess it was too close to Oakland. Call ahead of your trip to make sure that they will honor your choice of room. While I there I did not notice any trouble in or around the hotel. Just very upset that they but me in an ashtray room, It reeked of cigarette smoke. If you are in to that, go for it. My son couldn't enter the room before he was sick of the smell. They did finally put me into a nonsmoking room and the rest of my stay was enjoyable. Again, CALL THEM to make sure you get what you asked for.
