OP said he/she has to stay in Oakland. So the choice is btwn MR & CY. My understanding is OP wants a pool, that eliminated MR due to pool under repair.
I have not stayed in either property. Up-post cautions about personal safety. I too express same. Be careful while in Oakland.

About CY in general, there is no CL for most domestic CYs. If that's important, I'd pick up the phone & call the hotel. Most domestic CYs (and 100% for those that I've stayed in) comp breakfast.
