Great place to stay in Oakland. I read other comments, and was a bit concerned about the neighborhood, but to me it didn't feel unsafe, even when I was returning late. The only downside was a long walk from the bart station, but honestly it's up to you - if you don't want to walk, take a lyft. The room and the bathroom were clean, and I had everything I needed. Kevin was welcoming and hospitable, but never intrusive, for which I'm grateful. Overall, I don't think you'll find a lot of better option in San Francisco area if you're on a budget.
