This is where we stay when in the East Bay. It's economical yet feels like what might be a more expensive boutique hotel. The rooms, the beds, the service... all great.

This hotel was exceptionally clean. The only quibble I had with my stay was the scent of the toiletries, which I found unpleasantly sweet. Also, one of the bottles wasn't working properly.

The staff when we arrived was exceptionally nice. This morning’s departing front desk mgr might want to consider a different job. Needlessly surly and unpleasant.
