Lovely rooms with water views and a spacious bathtub. Possibly our favorite Oakland hotel. DoorDash delivered to the door and we ate dinner in the balcony with sunset sparkling over the water.

This is our second stay at the property. First stay was great, front desk attendant (didn't get her name but she had purple hair if I recall correctly) was super nice and friendly, our room was good, first floor near the coffee and beverage machine was a plus. Second stay was disappointing, we got there after midnight (I had called ahead to make them aware of our late check in) desk clerk was super unfriendly, we did not get not one smile from her, almost like she didn't care. Also as we were walking out to get our luggage, there was a guy walking the parking lot with a "call girl" which is something we didn't want to see being that we were staying there as a family. Also on our first day there, we left the room for a bit and when we came back to it there was a very potent weed smell, came from the vents maybe? Not sure, but that was disappointing.

Not like the photos

This stay was decent I would say if you stay alone or with a partner okay to stay I would not stay with your family. Homeless people come in and get coffee and although hotel staff try to get them out they don’t get out. I thought it was a nice stay when I booked but it’s different when you get there. They charge you 17.00 addtl dollars for parking but there is no actually security just a ramp they put up after a certain hour !!! Our room didn’t get cleaned u til after the 3rd day we got fresh towels that’s all the hotel dryer didn’t dry properly. The toilet did not flush. If your there for an in and out then stay but not for long term - breakfast was good.

Very accomodating. Decent breakfast and allows for to go. Great view of water to do some work or to relax. Walking distance from starbucks and a great ramen place. Electric vehicle charging works great. Coffee and hot tea available all day. Rooms are clean and the location is decent. There are some homeless in the near vicinity but they mind their own business. Only complaint is the wifi does cut on and off.
