Based on the way the Magnolia Suite photographs and shows up in videos, it is worth 5-stars hands down! Plus, I find the decor very uplifting and giving off good positive vibes. There are several things that need to be improved for it to have a well-earned 5-stars all the way around, but there is still a lot to love.
If the cleanliness improves to 5-stars and matches the price point we must pay to enjoy its magnificence that would be awesome. Other than that, I had a couple internet issues, and there is some kind of business close by that plays very loud music for hours some weekends, which might bother some people. So, now you've been warned. The unit is lovely, but it is in the hood, yet so very close to the best spots in Oakland, Emeryville, and San Francisco, plus you get your own designated parking spot! You should try it for yourself at least once!
P.S. There is very little to no storage space for lots of luggage.
