Overall, I had a good stay at Oaktown Roost. I felt safe on the property, everything was clean, and staff was friendly. These are not necessarily “cons“ just things to consider: I paid for their on-site parking, which is across the street, but it is a manual lock only, no keypad or electronic elements. This is a little inconvenient because unless the staff is around to help you out, you have to get in and out of your car to manually undo the lock and open the gate. When I returned back to the property late from an event, I was going to I had to open and close the gate myself, which was a little nerve-racking as a solo traveler. The lock is one of those twist style locks, and the mechanism on the gate could be hard to close. If you were somebody with less dexterity or mobility, it could potentially be an issue if returning or arriving outside of operating hours.

Amazing spot and a very fair price. Really well appointed rooms with lots of character and big windows - only drawback was my window was courtyard facing so didn’t have any privacy with curtains open. At a great central location - near 12th/oakland Bart stop, food, coffee, and a Walgreens within 10 minute walk. It can seem a little dicey at night so I wouldn’t recommend wandering the streets then. I would definitely stay again!

Staff was nice and the stay was excellent. Super close to BART, too. The area is a bit sketchy and I heard some people screaming and yelling at night but other than that it was fine.

Delightful place. Definitely not a chain: no tiki bar, no workout room, no pool. Also no elevator, although most rooms are on the 2nd floor. I had a room opening on to a delightful interior courtyard; very quiet.

We had a fantastic stay at Oaktown Roost. Our hallway king room was very spacious, very comfortable, and spotless. The rooftop/courtyard between rooms was a thoughtful touch—it added privacy and made for a perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful morning coffee. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and they had a gated parking lot. The location was ideal—close to bart and the Fox Theater. It was a great experience all around. Would definitely return.
