Actually, one of the most dangerous areas in the country. East Oakland, baby





This type of information should be some how posted for each hotel thread that has areas like this nearby. To inform unwary travelers.
If you're just in the area on a one-night stay with no plans to leave the general area around the hotel, it's fine. The hotel is one stop light away from the airport and there are a number of other hotels, restaurants, etc. along the same road.

With that said, the hotel itself is actually a pretty good deterrent.
