This is a great place to stay! The area is close to Oakland and San Francisco. I work in Emeryville when I go to the Bay Area. It only takes me 15 minutes to get to work when I stay there, even in rush hour. The place is clean and has tons of amenities. Larry answers any questions you may have quickly. In general, great place in a great location. This is my third time here. I will reserve again, if in it is available when I return to the area.
