Blake Garden Tours and Activities

You do get what you pay for. I got lucky that my AC was working and there were no issues with lighting. There was strong free WiFi, and there was hot water running fine for showers. But only one out of two elevators was working, and it also broke down. No pests or homeless encounters despite being pretty open for anyone to just step into the property. But perhaps I was also lucky there. The lobby does kind of smell like urine, and when I got to my room it smelled like weed. Despite the no smoking policy, it still smelled on my floor. If you’re a light sleeper, this place will not be for you as I heard music from two doors down, and across the hall a couple was arguing. I’d say leave this hotel as a very last resort, or if you’re really willing to sacrifice bits of comfort for a cheaper price. This area of Oakland is already intimidating, the least you can do for yourself is find a more secure and comfortable place to stay even if you have to spend more.

Beautiful place to stay, chose the room facing the marina and it was very peaceful and relaxing.
