    convenient location
    spacious conference area
    helpful front desk
    subpar cleanliness
    disappointing room condition

    The hotel offered a convenient location close to my work engagements and provided a spacious conference area that met all my meeting needs. The 24-hour front desk was also quite helpful in accommodating any requests I had during my stay.

    The cleanliness standards were subpar, and the room condition was disappointing.

    cheap room

    The stay was cheap but I guess you get what you pay for It was kind of amusing to watch how close I was to the train tracks and how the sound blasted through the thin walls but no chance I could sleep through that

    it wasn't a bargain but still manageable

    sun terrace
    breakfast spread
    dated furniture

    I had a lovely stay with the sun terrace offering stunning views to unwind and a cozy sitting area perfect for sipping coffee. The breakfast spread was nice but could've used a bit more variety. A small quirk was the slightly dated furniture, but it didn't ruin the overall vibe. 🌞

    friendly receptionist
    nice beds

    The beds were nice, and there was this one receptionist who was friendly and helpful, I mean, it was a small bright spot in the entire disaster of a stay. But, the decent room is where the positives end.

    It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, and frankly it felt like a gamble in a bad casino.

    This place suits me perfectly with great wi-fi, 24-hour reception, and a flat-screen TV. The staff once helped me find a place to exchange money, and their friendly service always impresses me. I’ll be back for Christmas!

    subpar cleanliness
    poor maintenance

    The decor had a charming vintage vibe, and the location was easy to navigate, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone. I loved being just steps away from the lively Jack London Square!

    Cleanliness and maintenance need significant improvement.

    great location
    clean room
    decent breakfast
    train noise
    outdated decor
    poor repairs

    The location near the train station makes it easy to get around, but be prepared for noise at all hours. My room seemed clean at first, but I noticed some issues. The decor felt outdated, and I found chipped paint on the door. The bed was comfortable, which helped me rest despite the disturbances. I had some trouble with the shower. it had low water pressure. The breakfast area added some nice burritos, and sitting outside was a highlight. However, the staff in the breakfast area could improve their attitude towards guests enjoying their coffee. It's an older building, so I expected some quirks, but repairs really need attention throughout the property.

    firm mattress
    coffee shop

    The only highlight was the firm mattress. I actually slept decent despite everything around me. And, ya know, I found this sweet little coffee shop nearby that helped me get through the day.

    It definitely wasn't low-cost, but I guess you get what you pay for when you book last minute.

    comfortable beds
    decent location
    heating system issue
    disruptive noise

    The beds were surprisingly comfortable, and I appreciated the decent location with access to nearby dining options. However, the heating system didn’t work, and the staff could be more welcoming. Train noise was quite disruptive at night, making sleep a challenge.

    rooftop patio
    comfy room

    I had a great time at this inn! The location is killer, close to the marina and the ferry. The room was comfy, and I loved the microwave and fridge. The rooftop patio had such a nice vibe, perfect for unwinding after a day out. Plus, it’s super convenient for train travel with the station right nearby.

    Felt very cared for, nothing too much trouble.

    convenient location
    walking distance attractions
    staff assistance
    dirty towels
    disappointing breakfast

    The location is convenient, being near downtown and within walking distance of various attractions like Chinatown and the Oakland Museum of California. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired, with dirty towels and floors. The breakfast was disappointing, but the staff did try to assist.
