I was in Oakland for a one-day conference at the Scottish Rite Center and this was the perfect place to stay at! The room is very comfortable and beautiful, and comes with all the amenities you would receive at a hotel at a fraction of the price. It was quiet at night, which is great for light sleepers. Paula provided very detailed arrival instructions the day before I flew in, including the nearest BART station (approximately 5 blocks away) and had a great to-do binder of ideas waiting in the room. Highly recommend to anyone staying in the Bay area!
