This place has really stepped up their game in the past few years! Rooms have been updated and are very clean / modern. New linens and towels in the bathrooms. Very nice concierge lounge - M Lounge - with a wide variety of breakfast options and a self-service wine station. Staff was super friendly from front desk to security to bellman and valet parking. This area of Oakland has really cleaned up as well. Not hardly any homeless sleeping on the streets like in SF. Very near some great restaurants and bars as well!
