The place might have looked clean but the light switches did not work you had to actually manually turn them all on they only gave one towel for four people in a room. Also the continental breakfast was so very poor.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was very spacious and I was excited to stay there. It's steps to the water and across from a million restaurant choices. However the people that stay there had no life skills at all. Fist fights in the parking lots, families letting their gross children run around the halls screaming, as if it were their own home. Domestic abuse, weed smoke everywhere. Could be a gold mine considering the location, if they just had managers to weed the proverbial garden of bottom feeder clientele

This is a motel with a lot of heart but has seen better times. Nonetheless we enjoy the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. It’s a tired structure and might not meet some expectations but it meets ours. We’ll be back as amenities are all within walking distance and staff are welcoming. 😊

Dirty, Dingy, and Old
This place was not what I was expecting. It is very dingy and dirty. There were stains all over the the 1970s furniture. Nothing has been updated in this room. It still had a tube style TV. I paid extra to get the view of the lagoon and the door was broken to go outside to enjoy that. It looked like people are living at this hotel as there were kids riding bikes and running all through the courtyard. I DO NOT recommend.

The lady staff wasn't welcoming & refused me a early check in at 2:30 pm, and no one was available at the front desk for check-in until 3:10 pm. I was given a disable room with a broken tv screen. NOT HAPPY! The rooms are kitchenet's & studios(curtains dirty with nasty brown stains on them), with stoves to cook your meals. And the heaters are noisy, they don't heat them completely to stay warm during the entire nights. Desk staff was in agreement with Expedia to refund fees for one day early checkout, but renege!

Affordable and clean.
This is an old style place with lots of room and quiet. It hasn’t been updated in a good while, so it isn’t fancy, but the beds are good and the place is super clean. The kitchens in the rooms make this already affordable place that much more affordable. The service is good and the parking is safe. I have been staying here for the last two years any time I come to town. For the price, it can’t be beat. And less than a block from Alameda Beach is a super bonus.

I was completely dissatisfied., had to switch rooms. First room smelled terrible, smelled like wet carpet and animal urine. Second room the curtains didn’t close completely in the living room area neither did the heater work The televisions were from late 1990 to early 2000’s. For the price this room was unacceptable. One other thing it’s like renting a jail cell no company after 10, must turn car radio off when enter onto the property, must be extremely quiet or you forfeit your deposit. I will NEVER recommend this site to anyone..

Book under Dire Straits Only!
Perspective lodgers- book this hotel as your very last option. Dirty couches, rugs, brass lighting fixtures, horrific springy mattress, 1950 bedroom television. It is apparent that management is not interested in modern upgrades. 1 star. The Only positive is the size of the room and the kitchen is clean. Upon entering the feont door and exterior of the hotel, dirty, walkways, painting is well overdue. Please, do kot enter the dispicable filthy washroom, i am considering calling the health department--Filthy! I am appaled that any third party would offer this hot mess to the general paying public. Corral Reef Management--shame on you for not investing nor caring about the physical up keep and aesthetics of your less than acceptable jotel offering. One week later, i am in still in shock. I almost decided to just loose my non refundable payment and sleep in my auto. Lastly, clean or rather, purchase new furniture, too many stains and just filthy. Consumers, make this your very last alternative! I never write negative reviews, i never have a reason to. This hotle needs to close down while remodeling to at least 2000 standards.

I liked everything about the property. Walkable, groceries nearby and right across the way the beach. Not just the property, loved the staff, very professional, welcoming respectful, helpful also took their time to answer all the questions that I had. We checked in at 3pm on a Monday. Forgot the date! And her name😔The young lady who checked us in. So polite and took her time to answer all my questions and made us feel very welcome. As well as the housekeepers and maintenance. We stay for 6 days. I would like to thank the Coral Reef Team!!! *YOU ALL ROCK*My family and I had an Awesome stay!

In general, the whole property is neglected and dirty. Halls and stairs carpets are very dirty (stairs carpet is very worn out). Room carpet was in a little better physical condition, but still dirty or stained. Room furniture looked like purchased from a thrift store, worn out and scratched. The curtain had holes in it. At least the beds and the bathrooms were clean and the place was quiet both nights. I would have gotten the same room at a lower rated hotel for just a portion of what I paid there.

Really great budget property for visiting friends and family in the area. Dtwn Oakland is only 5-10 mins away depending on traffic. Unlike other larger chain hotels, housekeeping stops by daily to check in if you need service or to refresh towels. The front desk staff is kind and helpful as well.

I liked the location of this property. There are things to do within walking distance. Also, the front desk, while not particularly friendly, did provide what we needed, including a request for additional towels. The Continental breakfast was below average, opffering only pre-packaged pastries, and no non-dairy creamer for the coffee.

It was a quiet location, but that may be because we checked in about 8:00pm and left at 9:00am. I requested to be on the bottom floor of the MAIN building where the office is because my 97-year-old mother was traveling with me and she can't walk very far and she absolutely cannot go upstairs. The clerk I spoke to early on check-in day said she would note it in my file. When I checked in, a different clerk didn't see any notes in the file. At first he was going to charge me an extra $30!?!? When I refused and said the earlier clerk said all he had to do was check the notes as she would see that I got the location I requested! Then he called her, supposedly, and he STILL gave us a room WAAAAAY out in back in a different building, which had a LOT of walking for my mom! We were NOT HAPPY AT ALL!! The neighborhood is NOT SAFE and there are shady people hanging around the area all night long and we did not feel safe. Its VERY SCARY!! It was a HORRIBLE experience!!
