I was in Oakland for an event at the convention center so this location was very convenient for that. The place is small but efficient - Great for a solo traveler, adequate space for two. It was VERY clean and tidy and has obviously been recently remodeled, as everything seems quite new. The kitchenette is adequate for breakfast, which is all I needed. Very good value for the money, close to BART, which gets you pretty much everywhere in the Bay Area. The neighborhood is a tiny bit sketchy, but not dangerous. You will definitely walk past some homeless people but they're harmless. A fairly busy freeway is a block away, so there is a little bit of traffic noise, but it was never a problem for me. Earplugs were thoughtfully provided in case you are more sensitive. I would absolutely stay here again when I have occasion to.
