We enjoyed our stay at the Trending Inn. Another reviewer said that staying here reminded them of an adult hostel, which is pretty accurate. You can tell the whole building is completely renovated and it makes a difference - definitely a sanctuary amongst the craziness of Oakland streets.
We were there during a heatwave and so appreciated the AC units in each room. We slept really well with the dark out curtains and king bed. As others have mentioned, the water pressure was low but it didn't bother us. Thank you for the complimentary bottled waters and offering a mini-fridge.
If I had my choice of staying here or the Marriott just two blocks away, I would choose the Trending Inn for cost and the rooms being so comfortable. You can tell Ayana and her partners take great care to respond to these reviews and make updates so their guests are comfortable.
Now, if I could just get the brand of King bed they use. Hint, hint, and shout out to, Ayana. ;)
Thanks for a great stay!
