"Great location for Oakland Airport, free parking. Right off the beach with wonderful view of the bay and San Francisco. The hall way air was stuffy and gave a bad first impression. Room great, had a window that we could open go get fresh air. If they could get fresh air in to the hallway it would be so much better."
