noisy hallway

The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making our stay even more enjoyable with their great local advice and tips.

Although our room was clean, it could have used better soundproofing as noise from the hallway was sometimes disruptive.

Affordable and Comfortable Stay

My stay was delightful with clean rooms and cozy beds. The staff was helpful and accommodating, making it easy to settle in after long days. The atmosphere felt welcoming with its modern renovations. However, I did think the breakfast options could be improved a bit, as they were quite basic.

dated decor

The room had a nice microwave and fridge combo that made my late-night snacks easy. The beds were super comfy! I enjoyed chilling by the pool and soaking in the hot tub after a long day. Just a heads up, the decor reminded me a bit of the '60s, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. 😊

mini-fridge

limited breakfast selection

The hotel was conveniently located near popular spots like the Oracle-Alameda County Coliseum, perfect for catching a game with my teens. The mini-fridge in the room really helped keep our drinks cool during our stay, which was a hit with the kids.

My kids wished for more breakfast options.

dirty carpet

outdated decor

noise insulation

Check-in was problematic, initially assigned to an unclean room. The decor felt outdated with peeling wallpaper and a non-functioning shower door. A major concern was the filthy carpet. my feet turned black from contact. Though the room had a mini fridge and microwave, the noise insulation was inadequate. On a positive note, the staff was friendly, and toasted sandwiches were a highlight during my stay.

The staff was incredibly friendly and super accommodating. the breakfast had great coffee and convenient cereals. The location was perfect for quick access to delicious dining spots and the university.

I wish the breakfast options were more varied. also, the room decor felt a bit outdated, though it didn't impact my overall experience.
