Stayed here for my first trip to the 'burgh.
I landed at 1am and tried to raid the hotel snack pantry because I was starving. The receptionist handed me menus to the local joints that were still open because she saw that a bag of chips wasn't going to do it for me. Nice customer service.
The rooms were large although the air conditioning is controlled outside of your room so if it's too hot/too cold you're sort of stuck with it.
There is a shuttle that will drop you off within 3 miles of the hotel but each time I tried to catch it the shuttle was already out and about 20 minutes away.
This is a nice location if you need to be in Oakland and from what I can gather a very safe neighborhood.
