Stayed for just one night. The room was clean, nice, and modern. While there's not much on the property itself, the front desk staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Special thanks to Maxine! :)
There are several good eateries, coffee ...
shops, and bars in the general area. I would stay again.

We were greeted by the most friendliest person at check-in. Our room was small in size but designed well to place all our “stuff” (golf travel bag, large storage container, 2 camping chairs, food and 2 rollies). The bathroom had tile ledges to ...
hold toiletries both by the sink and in the shower. My only criticism is there was only 1 hook close to the shower to hang a towel. Not enough for 2 people. The closest BART was only 5 blocks away so going into the city and Berkeley was easy.

Nice rooms and location for downtown Oakland; a short walk to the BART station. The entry doors are not well insulated and hallway noise is transmittable. However, our stay was nice and quiet overall. The hotel staff were very helpful and frien...

Beautiful hotel and the beds are very comfortable. Restaurants within walking distance. The BART station is only a couple of blocks away as well. If I ever go to Oakland again, I would definitely stay here.

I would not book this area. You have to pay 52 dollars for valet. Why and the room is 200 dollars. It should be included. No street parking or even a safe place to leave the car for the valet to get to.
The staff i...
s extremely nice and very helpful. Modern insides with an amazing bar area.
The location is awful and full of traffic.
The rooms are awful-looking. Very bland/no taste. Dark grey walls and bland grey flower wallpaper. There is not a single matching thing in the room at all. Furniture is all hard. The bed is uncomfortable. View....what view. You can view another room and that's it from the window. The blinds are overly large for a small window.
2 paintings on the wall which are very small and no furniture matched anything or one another. Still smells like paint. Why is the mini fridge so small you put two small drinks inside and it's filled for the space to be so large. My girl complained all the furniture was very hard and she could not relax. Why is the chair so low but the desk is so high?
The AC unit takes hours to get up to temp. We froze under covers for almost 4 hours.
The shower is open so water went everywhere toward the entrance of the door where you walk out.
Also, they provide a robe and it feels awful.
I would not spend 200 dollars a night plus 52 dollars for valet. 252 dollars a night.
