    The man who checked us in, Brian, was so sweet and helpful. The room was fine and it was inexpensive but in retrospect I wish I would have stayed in a hotel a short walk to Emeryville Amtrak station because the neighborhood was intimidating. We had no problems but I wouldn’t stay there again.

    Mold on shower door slide, about 1/4 inch of crud in all corners plenty of plugs, unfortunately only 3 worked,floor in general dirty,unknown substances on walls in a wide variety of areas throughout the room, could plainly hear conversations in rooms on either side. I was helped carrying my luggage up a flight of stairs.

    Bathroom was moldy and shower and tub were filthy with black scum in crevices. Hair on the floor indicated that it wasn’t swept after the last guest. Otherwise it was basic and gave what I needed which was a cheap roof, bed, shower. The front office person was accommodating.

    It was really comfortable and I like the fact that there is a heater. I am always cold, so it was great to put on the heater. The only thing is that, at night, something bit me. I don't know if it is bed bugs or what. I didn't see any but the bite marks were itchy. I had more of the bites after coming home, so now I have to wash all my clothes and everything that was in the hotel. I really hope it wasn't bed bugs but can't know for sure. :)

Our room was clean, and even better than I had expected from the picture. The bed was comfortable and clean. The television was great and the room had Wi-Fi. The Bayview was located close to our destination (Berkeley) and we easily could take an Uber or Lyft to get there. Our car was secure in the parking lot at the hotel and we left it there all day with no problem. The price of the motel was great and we would stay there again.

    The hotel is old and rundown. The area is rough. The lobby is about the size of a large telephone booth, standing room only, and the clerk is behind a plexi-glass partition. You pass your information under the glass, clearly for the clerk's protection. After getting to the room, I realized I could not stay there. I could handle the marginal room, but not the feeling that I wasn't safe. As a female traveling alone on business, I avoid obvious risks. Staying at this hotel would have been one.

    The flooring, while appearing clean had a greasy feel. Looks like laminate floors are being mopped with dirty water. Could be wrong. Neighborhood looks like it has one way to go and that is up.
