“This place strikes me as a no-frills stay in Oakland, seemingly reflecting its age in both price and condition. While some might find its quirks off-putting-worn furniture and potential maintenance issues were mentioned-others could see a certain authenticity in its unpolished nature. Ultimately, it appears best suited for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location over luxury.”
