"Location is a block from the 12th Street BART Oakland Station so easy access (two stops) to San Francisco & back. Hotel is showing its age, the WiFi is horribly slow but rooms are renovated plus the water pressure in the shower is divine! Great alternative to the expensive accommodations in SF. Downtown Oakland is right outside this hotel, there’s coffee shops & restaurants within 2 blocks all around plus you have Oakland Chinatown & it’s many eateries, markets & bakeries a block away!"

Very clean, Bathroom had a tub, nice towels and all you need for shower. Good coffee in the room. The staff was very helpful and friendly."
