Breakfast is a regular Continental breakfast. The reception staff is wonderful!! The rooms are on the older side, a renovation/upgrades would help. Standard fridge, Microwave, and a Coffee maker in room is a plus. Bed awesome, nice and firm. Parking is on premises. The nearby Jack London Square is just around the corner!!! My stay for years when in Oakland!!!

Historic Hotel in Oakland best value in Bay Area.

The staff is usually stellar. I have been staying here since it was considered a 3 to 4 star Hotel in the 1960s/70s. Obviously it has not maintained that rating, due to time and Gentrification. But it is still one of the most affordable Hotels in the Bay Area, and especially for the price-point that tends to attract “questionable elements” in SF itself. The only flaws I have with it are that the Hotel has replaced the Bathtubs in ½ the Rooms with Stand-up Showers, and these are now the only rooms with A/C (Cooling/Heating). And one of the Nighttime Staff is MOST IN-Hospitable, for someone working in the “Hospitality Industry.” But employee turnover for night-shifts here is constant. So he will likely be gone before long

Wow! I never leave a review as im not a picky or difficult person anywhere i go. This hotel is THE dirtiest hotel i have EVER stayed at. Immediately upon entering the building it reeked of smoke and weed. The guy at the front desk was very serious and didn't even say hello, just straight up asked for ID and card. Didn't give me directions for the room or told me where ice machine and breakfast were. Not a super big deal but I work in hospitality and would never not greet my guests this way. We get to the room and Jesus christ it smelled so bad like pee and stale food? Idk it was such an odd smell. There was black mold on the shower ceiling. The water came out almost orange.. not sure if it was the pipes or the water there in oakland. We genuinely had to go get cleaning products from the nearest dollar tree to wipe down surfaces as they were sticky and dusty as hell. Would NEVER recommend a hotel like this and would never stay here again. I liked the breakfast staff and the girl at the front desk who was pretty. She was really nice and told me she liked my shirt. But other than that horrible hotel. Do NOT stay here.
