Staff are friendly. Clean room.First room was a little smelly, but we were able to switch room the next day. Same breakfast every day. No coffee machines. If you need decaf, go get it from Starbucks, which is 10 minutes walk. Their coffee pods is just OK. Parking is good, for $17 a day.

This is such a fantastic hotel. We loved the full service breakfast every morning, the staff were super friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and spacious. The view out the back was fantastic, I only wish the pool and hot tub were closer.

From 559 loved the tub.

It was right off the freeway. Very nice. Friendly staff. The room was large with a large bathroom and soaking tub private separate toilet. Large closet with a safe Fridge with microwave. Coffee maker had the pods. Balcony was overlooking water very nice quiet and relaxing view. All in all very good. The price was 170 well worth it compared to a 110 downtown Oakland and almost forgot free parking and no homeless around. Thank you Best Western and staff.

Room was so cute, clean, and comfortable. The only downside is that the doors, they were terrible to open with the key card and the outside door didn't even open with the card we had to be let in my another guest at the side door coming from the pool. Also the pool and hot tub are not in the building. Its in he next building over, so prepare to leave your building and go to the next one over. Otherwise, everything was clean, and had a romantic aura. Great for couples or solo relaxation

The water view side is fabulous on a sunny day if you have a room on 2nd or 3rd floor. Love the bathtub and shower combo and they actually have a sliding door closet. Need to update their usb ports though and have some on the end tables next to the bed
