My needs are simple when it comes to hotels. Just make sure everything is perfect each and every time. I've stayed at two Homewood Suites now, this one and the one in Santa Fe, NM. I'm wondering why I don't choose this chain more often.
I admit going in that I am Hilton Diamond. Many times that doesn't seem to matter, but here it did. From the moment of check-in, they have worked to make sure my stay was delightful. Located just 4 miles north of the Oakland airport, this property is right on the water. The room I have, a beautiful 2 bedroom, 2 bath suite overlooks the harbor area. It's perfect for a relaxing day of catching up on work.
While off the beaten track, they provide shuttle service to the Lake Merrit BART station which makes everything accessible. They have plenty of plugs by the beds as well as the work area, and there is actually room to turn around in the bathroom.
Best of all, right next door is a Starbucks to get your day started off right, just in case you choose not to partake of the breakfast and/or dinners that they offer on premises.
All in all, if you are in the bay area, and want a nice affordable hotel with easy access, you would have to look long and hard to top this place.
