Great value compared to the hotels in the area (which there aren't many to choose from)! Easy access to BART and local Asian restaurants and bakeries. Although the outside area is noisy (I think there's a bar or club around the block), Ayana's (the host) rooms and common areas were peaceful. Thankful for the heater in the room because Oakland can get windy and chilly during February! Ayana was friendly and responsive as well. Overall, good stay!
