Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room above me was noisy until 3 or 4am and the front desk acted like I had a problem when I asked them to please talk with the guests about quieting down. After no improvement an hour later I asked for a different room just so that I could sleep. The overnight manager treated me with disgust as she handed the keys to me and told me to move my belongings. I gave up and stayed in my room - lost 3-4 hours of sleep. Lesson learned - stay on the top floor.

The hotel was nice and clean, but smelled like weed constantly. It says there is a pool and continental breakfast, but it does not say that it is at the hotel next-door. You are also charged $17 a night to park your car and they warn you there’s a chance it’ll get broken into because it’s an issue there.

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.
