This is such a fantastic hotel. We loved the full service breakfast every morning, the staff were super friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and spacious. The view out the back was fantastic, I only wish the pool and hot tub were closer.

From 559 loved the tub.

It was right off the freeway. Very nice. Friendly staff. The room was large with a large bathroom and soaking tub private separate toilet. Large closet with a safe Fridge with microwave. Coffee maker had the pods. Balcony was overlooking water very nice quiet and relaxing view. All in all very good. The price was 170 well worth it compared to a 110 downtown Oakland and almost forgot free parking and no homeless around. Thank you Best Western and staff.

Room was so cute, clean, and comfortable. The only downside is that the doors, they were terrible to open with the key card and the outside door didn't even open with the card we had to be let in my another guest at the side door coming from the pool. Also the pool and hot tub are not in the building. Its in he next building over, so prepare to leave your building and go to the next one over. Otherwise, everything was clean, and had a romantic aura. Great for couples or solo relaxation

Fridge was leaking when we arrived. Dead ants on the baseboard. Bed skirt had looks like old food on it, throw pillows had stains. Supposed to be a bar and restaurant that wasn't opened during our stay. The main reason for our stay there. We had business in San Francisco where we could have stayed. We was given drink and food coupons that couldn't be used. Was told we would get a 15% off our room that didn't happen. The view from our room of the lake was very nice. Had to go to the hotel next door for breakfast. Breakfast was good.
