This hotel is in a great location, has very good sized rooms and has an excellent staff! It desperately needs updating and greater attention to cleanliness. But, I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

I liked the staircase in the lobby. The lobby computer didn't work because of no WiFi connection. The staff really had no idea how to get it to work. Also had it worked it's using Windows 7 so it would have been slow. I would stay again when back in Oakland. Just make sure you have a car for getting around.

I stay in hotels 10 to 20 times per year and this is one of my favorite places to stay. The water view rooms with a balcony are great. Rooms clean and the bathrooms are great as well. Tub can fit 2 people and the shower is spacious.

It’s a nice place to stay and quiet. It’s a prettt view of the water and fresh air is nice with a balcony. The complimentary breakfast was good and had many options. Does have a smoke smell if cigarettes but with balcony didn’t bother me as much.

Staff are professional and curtesy. Amenities are ok. Self serve coffee machine has hot chocolate as a selection now. AC and heating works well. Properly is getting older looking. You can hear next door if kids are playing around. Mold in the shower area where the caulkings are. Breakfast is just OK. 2 EV stations available. Elevator is quick. Ice Machines are working well. Area is not the safest but not the worst. Few places to eat within walking distance. South bound 880 is easy to get on. A pain if you want to go North. Charging $17 per night parking. However, u don’t see a security when I go out at night. Property does blocked off one entrance/exit during evening hours. I still recommend this hotel.
