The area includes Jack London Square with restaurants and entertainment, and is close to UC Berkeley, Laney College, and Mills College.

Free airport and BART shuttle service is available upon request.
“The waterfront views certainly impress, an advantage underscored by spacious rooms and balconies. I noted the green initiatives, which should appeal to eco-conscious travelers. While the location is convenient for Oakland Airport, noise between rooms could be a concern for some guests.”
