It was dirty, dangerous, and the staff were rude and mean. Sheets on the couches in the lobby, unworking shower, reeked of tobacco, and so much more. Horrible, inhabitable conditions. Black mold on bathroom walls, dust/dirt/rust and damage everywhere. I want my money back.

This hotel should be removed from your site. I don’t have a problem with it being an older property. I have a problem with the room not being prepared for three people and the staff being ugly about providing sufficient pillows, towels and even blankets for three people. The air conditioner in the front room of the suite couldn’t be adjusted and we were sitting there wrapped in blankets because it was so cold. The bathtub was a “jacuzzi” tub and required stepping over two feet up to get in it, which my 79yo mother couldn’t do. The both rooms in the suite face the street and no attempt has been made to diminish the street noise, we didn’t sleep. And for a non smoking hotel, there was a lot of weed smell in the hallways and elevator. We were in town for a funeral and the added stress from this place was too much for mom. We moved hotels and they will not refund the three nights we didn’t stay. Minus 5 stars.

We aim to provide all of our guests with a clean and comfortable stay and thus are saddened that we could not serve you to our usual high standard. Please accept our sincere apologies for your poor experience staying at Arena Hotel. Regards, Arena Hotel Management

Elevator out of order on 6/25. No breakfast available, despite prominent sign on Alameda Room. Dirty hallways. No extra blankets in room. Room phone not working. Hotel is in derelict neighborhood of empty store fronts.

I liked the convince of where it is located. A CVS is right next door so you can get whatever you need. Staff was friendly. Room was old but appeared clean. Jacuzzi tub broken. The area is sketchy and I wouldn't want to hang out outside of the hotel.
