Front Door was not a place to drop off and pick up so we had to circle block twice to fully understand what street was the front entrance. Shower curtain torn near circular attachments to closure was not good which meant water on the floor more than safe. Pull out bed was cute but not functional as sitting was awkward. Good space in the workout room. Excellent service at Bistro!

I loved this property ! The gym and pool were awesome. The atmosphere is great and love that they have valet!!!! The room was super nice and they sent pushy see check out if you need a few minutes due to the fact that the luggage carts are low in number. They are all so nice and friendly. We will definitely stay again!!!

It’s a nice hotel and a great location. The staff was super nice and friendly especially Michael. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we need and were comfortable. I did not like the prices for parking and that the breakfast was not included in the price of the hotel. For those reasons I will not be staying again.

This is a great hotel. The staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The hotel isn’t too big which is an advantage, and it is a little old, but it is clean and has all the essentials that you would need including a restaurant and a small gym. It is only a few minutes walk from the train station.

Room has poor insulation, you can hear sound from other rooms. We had an accessible room, the water pressure in the shower was SO low that you can barely shower, it's the worst I have experience in any US hotels. Hotel was right in the center of Oakland Chinatown, so many restaurants to try. Daytime seems to be ok, but after 6pm, it is NOT safe to walk around, and everything seems to be closed.

The staff was friendly. The bathtub was visibly dirty, and the tissue box on the sink was wet and the tissues inside were wet. Apparently when you run the water in the sink it wets the counter and causes the tissue box to get wet all the tissues.

We had also ordered door dash to our room and they called us to inform us that our dasher was on their way up to us. Would definitely stay here again.
