Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to stay because I was not feeling safe due to enclosed space and there was no window to allow air into the room. I was feeling claustrophobic. Lots of potential and needs improvements. It was also very noisy due to motorists. This place is not ideal for people who don’t like noise. Staff were all very helpful and friendly.

Room was horrendous it had bed bugs as the white bedding when I woke up the next morning was covered in blood the floor in the hall was beeping dried as we checked in the shower was squirting out of the top of the shower onto the ceiling the train went past every 20/30 minutes even through the night just left me with trauma and anxiety and feel like itching all the time and had to throw lots of expensive clothes and trainers away due to the problem and also had to leave and find another place to stay after 2 days as we weren't able to stay for our health and safety and there were what looked like ladies of the nights coming and going

We checked out after the first night and hsve a dispute on credit card active. This was a horrendously bad experience, like being in a third world country. This hotel should not be advertised on your site. It was dilapidated, dark, dirty and very noisy. I took pictures of the black mold, broken porcelain toilet, damaged counters abd lack of amenities

Breakfast is a regular Continental breakfast. The reception staff is wonderful!! The rooms are on the older side, a renovation/upgrades would help. Standard fridge, Microwave, and a Coffee maker in room is a plus. Bed awesome, nice and firm. Parking is on premises. The nearby Jack London Square is just around the corner!!! My stay for years when in Oakland!!!
