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!

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.

The room was clean and comfortable. However, the lack of daily cleaning meant that, after a few days, the room became rather dirty. More importantly, perhaps, is the run-down nature of the immediate vicinity. There is no shopping to speak of, not much in the way of dining, not even a real grocery store. Sirens were a nightly occurrence. The room price was very good, the staff was great, but there are downsides that need to be considered.

The Oakroost met my needs at a reasonable price. The room was fine, the other guests quiet, and the staff were responsive. It is in a bit of a transitional zone in downtown Oakland, but walkable to Asian food, the art museum, and even the Oakland YMCA. A couple of nice coffee shops within walking distance.

overall a super cute stay i was going to a concert at the fox theater and it was a super easy walk. the only thing i would say is the parking situation is a bit eh there is a open fenced lot that stays open and you pay online it is easy enough but a bit sketchy there was some broken window glass around the lot regardless our stuff was safe overnight but something to think about or maybe find a garage nearby that has overnight parking we had no luck so ended up in the lot which the hotel recommended but it’s cheap and easy so maybe just make sure you take everything out and leave nothing noticeable if you are parking there but the hotel was super cute and i would definitely go again!

Lovely staff & beautiful space - but not quiet

Beautiful place and lovely staff, and I would stay again. Things to know: 1. It is loud. There is a lot of city street noise, just what comes with being downtown in a city. But if you are a light sleeper it might not be ideal for you. 2. Very thin walls. You knew when the guests on either side of you were awake, watching tv, or on a call. 3. Noise in room: The mini fridge (which was great to have in the room) but made lots of noise in the night and the A/C in the (which is awesome that they have AC as it was a particularly warm week) but it would drip lots of water at night which was pretty noisy

This recently updated hotel—so new you can even smell the new paint every now and then—is downright beautiful, well-appointed, clean, and spacious, with new furniture, flooring, bathrooms, etc.! And it's right in the heart of everything in downtown Oakland, just steps away from great restaurants and BART and bus connections. I will definitely stay here again!!!
