Location is great, but the condition of the rooms is horrible. Hallway carpets are completely stained and dirty - extremely. We had a 2 bedroom suite facing the water front and the first room had a water leak under the kitchen sink. The entire kitchen area and the living room where our son was sleeping on a sofa bed smelled like mold and mildew. The furniture is all chipped and broken, carpets and stained and there were stains on the bathroom walls that I was able to easily wipe off with a Clorox wipe. Which shows that it's not a paint stain, but the cleaning crew is doing a horrible job. When we complained we were offered a different room, but this one was only marginally in better condition and the heater was completely broken - the thermostat did not even turn on. We had to check out 3 days early. We were also charged $60 in parking fees for one night. This is hands-down the worst condition Homewood Suites we have ever stayed at - and we've stayed at Homewood Suites all along the West coast, Texas and the East coast. Location is a fantastic. Hotel condition is horrendous. Really reminds me of a run-down apartment that they would use for housing the unhoused or that they rent to college students with no other options.

Hotel's Favourite
Friendly service at front desk who quickly resolved an issue. Room TV did not work and was quickly moved to another room. Main building was cleaner than the 2nd building. Breakfast was well done and had hot breakfast (eggs, sausage, hash browns). Room window needs to be improved as the gap between the sliding window and fixed window let in noise from the street - some more insulation or have the window manufacturer fix it. Close to the Oakland airport and Jack London square.

Overall I had a good visit. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was nice but could use some TCL. There was dirt marks on a wall, the desk and dresser was VERY chipped and damaged and the air vents need serious cleaning. For the price your paying this should be attended too.

The toilet overflowed starting at around 6 AM. I called the front desk to request maintenance and they told me maintenance could not help me until 9 AM. I requested a plunger and they refused. At 9:45 AM I called front desk to ask what happened to the maintenance who never showed and they told me they forgot. Maintenance finally repaired the toilet at 10:15 AM, checkout was 11. For five hours, my partner and I had to run out of our room into the hall and outside our building to another entry in 45 degree weather to use the bathroom in the hotel lobby. Our room's bathroom had an inch of water which was seeping into the carpet. I paid hotel prices for sub-hostel service. On top of that, they charged me for two parked cars. We only parked one car in the lot. Front desk workers sit behind a column during their shift so guests are unable to see them on approach from the hall or any major entry. It is evident they do not want to help customers since they are literally hiding from customers. It leaves a horrible impression for guests and feels really shady. Checking out, I asked front desk if I could have compensation for the five hours of overflowing toilet and they refused. Five days later, after calling and asking for Manager Dennis Berris every day, I still have received no response. It was a horrible stay, I regret choosing this Hilton.

Upon arrival checkin with Shay was so difficult not sure why it took so long, noticed waters were offered to the couple that checked in after us not sure why we were not offered waters, had to ask multiple times for the fire out back to be lit. Checking out with Shay once again wasn’t any easier overcharged ask why it took forever for her to look over simple print out receipt she was not able to give a new receipt with the correct charges for stay. One of our worst experiences.

Hotel is beautiful. Front desk clerk was extremely nice & welcoming. I got a free upgrade on my room & that was a Great surprise! The room was extremely spacious. 2bd/2ba suite, Sofa bed, fridge, microwave & a table. Beds were a tad bit firmer than I like but overall comfortable. Room was clean. The complimentary evening social wasn't expected but I loved it. The hot breakfast was good & plentiful. Hotel is in a nice location as well. Very close to the freeway. I highly recommend this hotel!

The beds (mattresses and pillows) were extremely uncomfortable. The furniture was chipped and scarred in our two bedroom, 2 bathroom suite. The carpeting in the corridors was dirty and badly stained. The safety latch on our door showed signs of the door having been forced and the latch replaced, but the wood was gouged showing the previous damage had just been painted over. The suite had a balcony overlooking the water and when we tried to go out to sit and enjoy the view, we found the sliding door was bolted shut. We were supposed to stay 5 nights and checked out after the first. With the evidence of the broken lock and the permanently locked balcony doors, we did not feel safe. I had to work and I use data while away rather than use public wifi. I could not connect at that hotel. Once we changed hotels, i had no problem connecting. The hotel may be “dog friendly” but definitely not people friendly.

This was one of the nicest homewood suites I’ve stayed in! Everyone was so nice and you could tell that the staff took pride in their work. The breakfast area was spotless every day (I stayed five days). Sabrina at the front desk was so nice and really made it a great stay! By the second day of my stay she knew me by name which really makes me feel special. Definitely will be staying there again, next time I come to San Francisco!

We arrive in the room the moment you opened the door the smell is soo stinky you can not imagine, the restroom have molds in the ceiling, the carpet is dirty and its not safe to stay in the area due to high crime rate which we did not know. Requested another room but they offered the smokers room from before which would be more worst.

This is a nice place to stay. Great service. Select a water view. You don't want the City view. Oakland needs to clean up the city along the 880. Hilton take note. This place is badly in need of a renovation. It is in an up and coming area. Spend the money and completely renovate it. It will be worth it. The water view and area on the water front are spectacular
