Hotel Motel 6 Oakland Airport (Oakland, USA)

Staff were reportedly pleasant, accommodating and helpful although check-in was sometimes slow or new arrivals encountered mix-ups with reservations.

The location just off the Interstate 880 Nimitz Freeway in Oakland's southern suburbs was conveniently close to shopping options, eateries and gas stations.

There were claims from some critics that pest control measures were ineffective. Furthermore it was occasionally claimed some of the rooms had floors could have been better swept or linens that were stained.
