It was better than sleeping on the street!
Hotel desk staff were great. Had a very Hostel feel. Room was basic and mostly clean where most people could see. The shower and bathroom in general were very aged. Looked like some grout ussues, not many towels, old toilet. Not good if you have movement limitations or disabilities. Beds were a little firm but dud the job! Top of tv stand had grafitti and garbage. (Not visible to average height people) room had DirectTV with good channel options! The breakfast was basic. One lady working the food bar told me it was closed at 8:45. It was open to 9. She would not refill anything or put out any food. There was another guy who overheard .the conversation and brought out some bread and a danish. He also got yogurts for the kids that were there from the back somewhere. So do not rely on that service!
It got the job done for the price. Not a place to go for the amme ities or the view! But oarking was safe and included.

Embarrassing TBH
We were genuinely surprised at the low quality of this booking. It was considerably different from what was shown in the pictures. We asked for an early check in due to our flight schedule and staff was curt and unaccommodating. They did however allow us to leave our luggage after we asked in desperation. Our non smoking room smelled of smoke, the mattresses were thin and inhospitable, and breakfast ended before I could get out of bed at 9am. The proximity to Jack London Square was nice however. A couple staff members were kind.

I wouldn't ever again!
Went to their continental breakfast to be told no food could leave the cafeteria, then was watched eat by the attendant. It was so weird and rude and theady was absolutely terrible to us. Then asked for a late check out for zero help and rushed out and hassled by the cleaning lady the next day banging on my door for 5 minutes after I told them we were leaving. The worst!!

Staff were friendly enough. Happy to give extra towels becuase we only had 2 for 4 people. Train noise is constant. Breakfast room was cold but breakfast was good. Close to Jack London Square, nit much else worth seeing in Oakland
