"This little gem has become my home away from home in Oakland. It has everything you could want in a city that already has everything—great food, cool bars, amazing music, plenty to do, etc. It's all brand new in a renovated space. The rooms are large and comfortable, the bathrooms are sparkling, and the service is impeccable. There's a rooftop courtyard, a game room, and good eats and drinks right next door. It's more comfortable than anywhere else in the Bay Area, and just as accessible. Well...

"Easily walkable to event. Very modern, smart fridge not smart, no freezer. Nice staff, mostly. Valet expensive but quick. Breakfast food was good but shut down at 9,& ran out before that. Out of coffee too early all days(3). Pricey but thats a corporate decision. Nice view of the city& bay, convenient to freeway. "
