Coral Reef Inn & Suites

The staff was very friendly and it is right in downtown Alameda which is great because it's just a walk to shops, restaurants and bars. Being by the bay was nice considering the price of the room.

The decor is from the 80's. It reminded me of staying in an old cabin, the room was huge with a balcony which was great but the rooms need a serious update. All the furnishings looked like it was found at a garage sale or thrift store but not in a hip way. The pictures of the rooms on the website were a bit deceiving.

The young lady that helped us at the front desk was kind and very helpful. We got an upgrade to a upstairs room. The Inn was nicely located across from a large shopping center with plenty of options for shopping and food purchases.

The room smelled of old musty cigarettes and it was a non smoking room, The counter and the toilet were ultra low the bathroom sink was 28inches high and the toilet was so low it felt like I was doing squats to sit on the toilet. The bed was very uncomfortable and very broken down in the middle like a soup bowl. the T.V. remotes did not work, not a big deal but noted. The place has not been updated in many years it seemed. and it is very noisy at night due to it be located next to a bowling alley. It felt as though most the guest were like apartment rentals just a weird feel.

It's inexpensive.

The pull-out bed was broken and the roll-away bed (to replace it) was uncomfortable.

The location was excellent

Room, expecially the carpet needed cleaning. Prior occupants obviously used kitchenette to cook and smell was still strong.

I liked the location, the price and the cleanliness. It is dated (1968?) but well kept.

Nice and simple, i would recommend it to any one

The housekeeper do not know how to knock before coming in and should wait for request of anything form the guest before coming to the room...

Huge room, even with a small kitchen (oven, stove etc)

Without plates, utensils etc etc a kitchen is useless. The fridge had a weird smell (like 10-year old fungus).

The suite was spacious and a view of the lagoon; an excellent shopping center across the street

The television sets were small and the reception grainy, the full kitchen had no cokking pans, dishes, flatware, etc., and the mattress on the bed was very poor.
