The family who runs the hotel are great. Very approachable and affable. I would totally recommend stay at the Highlander. Next visit to the bay area, I'll be staying there.

It was very clean I was comfortable the lady and guy was very nice people I will stay there any time when I work in oakland
This place was extremely clean and comfortable. It had everything I needed, staff was nice, and it was in a super convenient spot for what I needed. There is also a great little French Bakery right down the street.
The staff was very friendly & check in was quick and very thorough. the stay was very comfortable & quiet, the room was clean and very cozy.. We would stay here again.
The area is as expected.
the place could be great if they put effort into it.
Bathrooms smell like urine
pillows smelled of sweat and have stains
burnt linen, marks on bed spread and towels
It is a budget option, but the conditions of the place are just ridiculous.
The bathrooms need to be properly cleaned not just wiped down. Invest in new pillows and bedding, at least give the exterior a coat of paint. There is potential since the actual rooms aren’t terrible but it needs some actual cleaning and some touc .
If you just need a place to crash for a night it’s ok.

Disliked: Cleanliness
It was what I would have expected for the price. The bed was comfortable. I had to wipe off my night stand which was sticky. They need to use some bleach to clean the shower. The street was run down but pretty deserted. There were not homeless folks around there.
My stay at the highlander is always comfortable, I actually love that it's peaceful the rooms are clean always staff are friendly id rate it overall a ten.
Bed was clean and comfortable. Room overall was rundown and showed lack of care. Basic items like shampoo (There were two conditioners) had to be requested.
The owner was very accommodating - she let me leave my things for several hours after checking out in the morning and was very pleasant about it. The rooms are fine. My only concern is that it's tricky to find a nice restaurant/coffee shop in the area.
People screaming obscenities in the parking lot, a stranger was harassing me in the parking lot, there was shooting outside the hotel and the towels looked dingy.
The manager and staff were accommodating, professional and kind.
The building isn't pretty oiutside, but the rooms inside are newly redone, very clean, and nice. The redone bathroom was very nice, and functional. The location is great for exploring Oakland; near bus stops. And the price, well, it's hard to beat! (esp. considering how stupid expensive Bay Area lodging can be!)
Next time I'm in the area, I know where I'm staying! :-) WELL DONE!
