Love Oakland, can't wait to come back.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Oakland area looked safe and clean. Traffic around Oakland was fine. Traffic into San Francisco is terrible it took us 2 hours to get into San Francisco even at 6am. We received terrible service at the Denny's close to this hotel, do not go there.

3/5 - Okay
