Cleanliness
8.7
Many reviews explicitly praise how clean the rooms and property are; a handful noted issues (ants, wrinkled pillowcases) but overall cleanliness is consistently described as very good.
Service
8.9
Staff repeatedly described as polite, helpful and outstanding (one night desk employee singled out); isolated reports of a rude front-desk interaction but service sentiment is strongly positive overall.
Location
8.7
Multiple mentions of excellent convenience to Oakland Airport and a quiet location; one comment noted the surrounding area felt sketchy, but location proximity to OAK is a clear strength.
Room Quality
8.3
Rooms often called spacious and comfortable; some negatives include wrong bed configuration, occasional ants, pillowcase wrinkles, and issues with AC/low water pressure in a few reports.
Amenities
8
Complimentary breakfast is a commonly praised amenity; however paid parking and paid shuttle for guests are frequent complaints that reduce the amenities score.
Value for Money
6.7
Repeated complaints about having to pay for parking (e.g., $19/night) and paid shuttle reduce perceived value despite good rooms and breakfast.
Food and Beverage
8.2
Breakfast is generally described as good and a positive feature, though several guests requested more fruit/plain yogurt/oatmeal without sugar and noted issues like chalky eggs or watered-down juice.
Overall Experience
8.9

Excellent, but...
Pros:

Clean, good breakfast, polite staff

Cons:

Must pay to park $19 per night.
No receipt emailed if you do express checkout - and worse, if you then WANT an itemized receipt, you can't just call - you must email them to ask for it!

Great place I'd definitely stay there again.
Pros:

The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was very good, with hot food that was overall pretty good. The room was spacious and very comfortable, better than a lot of similarly rated properties, and, being close to the airport it was very quiet.

Cons:

Not much really - the only thing I can think of is it would be nice if they had plain Greek yogurt and oatmal without sugar, also the scrambled eggs were chalky like they are made from a mix although the omelets were ok. And this is some nitpicky stuff, especially since we're talking about a free breakfast

Pros:

The location and staffs were very nice.

Cons:

Adding more fruits and plain yogurt would be much better for breakfast. Room was ok but noticed pillow cases had wrinkles. For the price paid for this hotel, we were surprised.
