We ended up staying in Oakland as the hotels in Downtown SFO where either overpriced or fully booked. Great little hotel just a few steps from the BART station. Stayed with my husband and 2 children and the room accommodated all 4 of us beautifully. Great little restaurant for breakfast offering a healthy range of breakfast options. Only downside is... More

Nice clean Room very quiet very friendly staff I would highly recommend . More

My friends were in town for a special get together event. I met them at front lobby and made sure everything went well for check in. Afterwards they were hungry and starving so being not familar with area they ask the front desk of any recommdations and for some reasons they said look at the printed flyer on the counter.... More

Stayed at the Courtyard Marriott last night in Oakland. Generally like all Courtyards. This is the worst I have ever seen. It is true they are about to renovate the common areas, but the rooms will not be redone until 2013. The mattresses had big, big indentations which made it hard to sleep. The air conditioning unit was hard to... More

We stayed here so we could be within striking distance of downtown San Francisco without paying the high prices in the city. The hotel has a couple of things going for it. It is a block away from the Bart and you can walk to Jack London Square to get the ferry. There is a grocery store across the street.... More

I would prefer the Marriott nearby but Priceline gave me this one instead. There was nothing much to complain about except the TV is on the side of the wall instead of right in front of the bed and there is no view outside the window. The room and bathroom were clean and there is also a pull out sofa... More

This hotel is truly a find. I was hesitant to stay in downtown Oakland but needed to because of work nearby. I feel like I lucked up to find this hotel. It is well-kept. The staff is wonderful. There are a number of good restaurants and bars within a few blocks of the hotel. There is a free shuttle that... More

I've stayed at this location on several occasions for board meetings in the Oakland area. It is a good location just 2 blocks from BART so it is easy to get to from OAK or SFO. You can also cab to OAK in about 20 minutes for $30 + tip. A big plus is the recent room rennovations. They are... More

Upon checking in, normally the reservationist acknowledges my Gold Marriott loyalty, but this one did not. She checked me in as if I was buying a loaf of bread, and didn't explain the hotel amenities. The valet men are the exception -- they are courteous and helpful. When I got to the room, I learned they don't have wireless service,... More
