    The staff are really nice and helpful here and make the stay worth while. The rooms are clean and spacious although a bit dim lit and lack of charging ports near the bed. The location is close enough to the Oakland Airport but a little bit of a dead zone with BART by passing the neighborhood making stops in Fruitvale and Lake Merritt. There is a Brooklyn Basin bike and walking trail, which is good for about a quarter mile before you run into tents and or construction, but a beautiful morning walk. Also Parking is $17 and not included with the room. I have never been to a hotel that charged for parking in their lot. I’m not sure if others in the area do, but a great thing to factor in the price.

    Room was really nice, bathroom weirdly amazing, but the bed was like a rock. Nice view and access to the bay right outside the slider from the room.

    Terrible smell and odor. Stained into the floor and room. Switched rooms. All rooms had the same problem. No hot shower either. Would start off hot for ~2-3 min. Cold rest of the time.
