This is a cool little hotel in the heart of Oakland. Great atmosphere, and an old re-purposed building with a nice open deck on the top floor. there is no elevator so if you need one this isn't the place for you. Staff were friendly, accommodations were fine, beds are not spectacular and the traffic noise outside was a little loud. But hey, it's Oakland!

Very nice boutique style hotel in the heart of Downtown Oakland. Near Lake Merritt along with countless restaurants, shops, and public transport. The room was cute, plush and comfortable with new linens, courtyard was super cute. Staff was friendly and even provided pre-check in which was seamless. Would definitely stay again!

This is in a rough part of town but all of Oakland is pretty terrible nowadays. You’ll definitely want to request parking if you have your own vehicle there’s only a limited number of spaces and if you have a large truck like mine, you’re gonna be squeezed in there like sardines, but as far as general appearance, comfort and kindness of the staff, it was excellent for an overnight.

Staff is great and it's clean and a good value. The hotel itself is a little odd--no elevator to rooms fyi. It's located in Oakland's chinatown so lots of Chinese food options but not much else. There's a fair amount of transient activity on the block but I didn't feel unsafe.
