Lovely staff & beautiful space - but not quiet

Beautiful place and lovely staff, and I would stay again. Things to know: 1. It is loud. There is a lot of city street noise, just what comes with being downtown in a city. But if you are a light sleeper it might not be ideal for you. 2. Very thin walls. You knew when the guests on either side of you were awake, watching tv, or on a call. 3. Noise in room: The mini fridge (which was great to have in the room) but made lots of noise in the night and the A/C in the (which is awesome that they have AC as it was a particularly warm week) but it would drip lots of water at night which was pretty noisy

This recently updated hotel—so new you can even smell the new paint every now and then—is downright beautiful, well-appointed, clean, and spacious, with new furniture, flooring, bathrooms, etc.! And it's right in the heart of everything in downtown Oakland, just steps away from great restaurants and BART and bus connections. I will definitely stay here again!!!

The secured parking for this property was not convenient. The room had an odor, like someone had gotten sick there. The door to my room was glass and not private. Online check in is not the best for everyone.

I did have a great stay here with some minor caveats. The early check-in at 2 for $30 is not my favorite. Although my king bed room was truly giant (bigger than a few apartments I've lived in) there were no windows to the outside world (only a small one to the hallway/walkway, right at eye level for anyone outside if my blinds were open.) The sound proofing left a lot to be desired - with laminate floors and a large gap under the door, you can hear even the quietest of sounds. Their bed was incredibly comfortable. the room was pristine, and the location is so so convenient.

One Night Only

Oaktown Roost is a great budget-friendly spot in the heart of Oakland. It’s easy to access, well-located, and has just enough charm to make it memorable. The building has character, and while it can be noisy at night, they provide earplugs—a small but thoughtful touch. The common area is cozy and well-designed, with couches, a pool table, and really solid coffee (served there, not in your room). The bed was comfy, the shower hot—though the water pressure could be better. Communication from the staff was excellent. For the price, it’s a solid stay with all the basics covered and a few nice surprises. Five stars for value and vibe.

Overall, I had a good stay at Oaktown Roost. I felt safe on the property, everything was clean, and staff was friendly. These are not necessarily “cons“ just things to consider: I paid for their on-site parking, which is across the street, but it is a manual lock only, no keypad or electronic elements. This is a little inconvenient because unless the staff is around to help you out, you have to get in and out of your car to manually undo the lock and open the gate. When I returned back to the property late from an event, I was going to I had to open and close the gate myself, which was a little nerve-racking as a solo traveler. The lock is one of those twist style locks, and the mechanism on the gate could be hard to close. If you were somebody with less dexterity or mobility, it could potentially be an issue if returning or arriving outside of operating hours.

Amazing spot and a very fair price. Really well appointed rooms with lots of character and big windows - only drawback was my window was courtyard facing so didn’t have any privacy with curtains open. At a great central location - near 12th/oakland Bart stop, food, coffee, and a Walgreens within 10 minute walk. It can seem a little dicey at night so I wouldn’t recommend wandering the streets then. I would definitely stay again!
