It was quiet. It was a comfort beyond my dreams. From my window I could see the lovely downtown Oakland. I like to see the happy faces with shopping bags pass me by. And the weather is usually pretty good in the Bay.

The room I stayed in was always cold. I just used the heater alot. Otherwise everything was decent.
