One block from Lake Merritt BART station, next to freeway, this is a period piece courtyard motel. The tropical murals are worth a visit even if you don't stay. Very convenient to the MTC Building. This is definitely an economy hotel. We won't vouch for the sheets and towels, but it's just one block from City Hall.
Some rooms have kitchenettes - or so they say.
