Aestheticially, it's a very visually appealing hotel. Feels like a fancy dormitory. The outside little courtyard where breakfast is served is very quaint. It's in a great location, maybe a 10-15 walk to Oakland Mall. It's also right next to a swanky retail area with plenty of restaurant, bars, and shopping.
I was disappointed with the room however. The room was quite small for a twin and full size bed to fit in. The water didn't get beyond lukewarm out of the sink or shower. Also, the shower drained terribly and in a couple of minutes I was standing in a couple of inches of dirty water that took 30 minutes or so to fully drain after I was done. I wouldn't stay here again unless the plumbing issue was fixed.
