The staircase you take upstairs was the first sign this was a cool and quirky kinda spot. The vibe is just very chill and exactly what I was looking for after a long day of shenanigans with family and friends. Im a very easy going person and for me this kind of place was great as It was adjacent to a lot of places. The common/game room is really cool, made just chilling after the day nice. The room was bigger than I expected, King Bed was comfy, shower had great water pressure but if you're a tall person like me (6'5) you'll have to bend a lil to get your head but overallI hope to come back and stay again next time im in Oakland. Also - Rooms have a larger mini-fridge so I was able to hit the convenience store on my way and keep larger sized drinks in it without issue. Only complaint I have is that in my room the toilet was a bit too close to the wall (again tall guy problems) but overall a solid place to stay.

Very nice boutique style hotel in the heart of Downtown Oakland. Near Lake Merritt along with countless restaurants, shops, and public transport. The room was cute, plush and comfortable with new linens, courtyard was super cute. Staff was friendly and even provided pre-check in which was seamless. Would definitely stay again!

Staff is great and it's clean and a good value. The hotel itself is a little odd--no elevator to rooms fyi. It's located in Oakland's chinatown so lots of Chinese food options but not much else. There's a fair amount of transient activity on the block but I didn't feel unsafe.
