Don't do it!
There was no air-conditioning in the room and this was during a serious heat wave. They brought us 2 fans. The bed has hard as a rock and shaky. The bathroom apoeared to be the original bathroom form the 40's. Continental breakfast was coffee and bread. We laughed and went out to eat. We asked for fresh towels the next day tom housekeeping and never got them. I had to go to the front desk. The windows had no screens! Worst hotel I've ever slept in.

Property is across the street from a cool plaza buzzing with people and activities... But the hotel itself was not the best. There was dog poop on the stairwell... the breakfast was non existent. The train passes twice an hour blaring the horn all night and doesn't let you sleep. Other than that, it was a good location. Be aware of your surroundings and especially at night. I heard a weird explosion and it can get really sketchy at night. Make sure to get enough snacks and water to get you through the night as there are no convenience stores nearby.

An unfortunate stay, the neighbors of the room smoking marijuana, the last day they broke the right rear window and the hotel is demarcated. There was no way to talk to the manager and the receptionist told us, remember you're in Oakland

The room location great. Went to eat breakfast was hassled by the worker about cleaning up after a spill. Milk spill was caused by a kid. I just happen to be there after the person left. I was told to clean up the spill. I told them not my job it's your job. The cleaning crew all talk Spanish enough said.
