Property is across the street from a cool plaza buzzing with people and activities... But the hotel itself was not the best. There was dog poop on the stairwell... the breakfast was non existent. The train passes twice an hour blaring the horn all night and doesn't let you sleep. Other than that, it was a good location. Be aware of your surroundings and especially at night. I heard a weird explosion and it can get really sketchy at night. Make sure to get enough snacks and water to get you through the night as there are no convenience stores nearby.

An unfortunate stay, the neighbors of the room smoking marijuana, the last day they broke the right rear window and the hotel is demarcated. There was no way to talk to the manager and the receptionist told us, remember you're in Oakland

The room location great. Went to eat breakfast was hassled by the worker about cleaning up after a spill. Milk spill was caused by a kid. I just happen to be there after the person left. I was told to clean up the spill. I told them not my job it's your job. The cleaning crew all talk Spanish enough said.

Stayed here during the CA Bar Examination week. It was perfect. The water, the dining options, the short walk to the exam spot. Will stay again for sure.
