Best Hotels in Oakland

Only problem is you need more washing machines on the property. I was to tired to walk to the other washing machine after the 1 close to our room was being used. Staff were fantastic and helpful. The restaurant staff were also excellent for breakfast.

I was extremely disappointed with my recent stay. I spoke w/ the front desk manager & with many other staff during my stay at this location. This turned what was supposed to be an exciting, exploratory visit to Oakland for house hunting, into a bit of a drag and disappointment. I have outlined some of my feedback below as I think this should be addressed on a larger level so that others do not have the same experience as us. First, I am FUMING irritated by how I was treated by the valet at this hotel. It happened twice in the same evening, with the same person. He was rude, talked down to me about how to speak to the valet staff about how I need my car to be parked, and had extreme attitude, after making me move my own car several times because he was overwhelmed. This is unacceptable. I have driven cars in hundreds of hotels both in and out of the U.S. and I am not about to be talked down to by a valet attendant. The hotel itself. This hotel needs help. The bathroom is dirty and broken down. We had a tile loose above our bed that made us nervous to sleep and the floors were pretty gross in the bathroom. It was an extremely warm weekend in Oakland and our room was so warm and the AC was not working properly. We had to call and have a fan brought to our room because we couldn’t sleep. Also we had a lot of issues with the television not working on the internet. So had major limitations on working Netflix etc. The hotel service. We needed plates and silverware for take out one night. We had been out house hunting until later in the evening and we called for plates/silverware. I took nearly an hour to get these items to our room and we had to call more than once. We also requested our room to be serviced on Saturday (we called earlier in the morning to double check they would be coming). We had a stain on our sheets we wanted changed. We arrived back at the hotel later around 9pm after another day of house hunting to find our room completely untouched and unchanged. It was so frustrating because we were exhausted. This time I decided to speak to the manager on duty (who was friendly and understanding) but again had to call more than once because of the delays. Our room did not end up fully changed until 11pm. We stayed in Oakland because we are relocating back to the Bay Area and wanted to check out the East Bay and in particular Oakland, Rockridge and the Oakland hills. This is nowhere near the welcome we expected and was a major turn off to Oakland. Ya’ll need to get it together.

The hotel is very new, the decoration and facilities are well designed, and the services are in place. There is a spacious and bright public area on the second floor where you can drink tea and coffee for free, which is suitable for simple business meetings. It is walking distance from BART station, Amtrak train station, and Chinatown, which is very convenient. The only thing that needs to be considered is the surrounding safety issues. Because it is located in the city center and the city hall is right outside the window. There are many homeless people, so try to go out as little as possible at night.

It was convenient on the airport side. The type of room was different from the reservation, but it changed as soon as I told it. The original room was convenient near the front desk, so I stayed without changing it, but I apologized for the drinks and snacks!

I came here because I was tired . I remembered being offered free breakfast but I was leaving before breakfast time . But thanks for the offer . It’s within walking distance to the bball arena and baseball park . And not too far from the airport . There are some other shops and restaurants around but I just stayed because I was tired . The bathtub was nice .

The location is convenient, close to BART and in the center of town; the room is large and you can cook your own meals; there is free breakfast every day; but there is no service. Maybe in the United States, extra tips are required for services.

It's an old resort hotel, and the room alone looks a bit shabby, but the bed is still comfortable. But when I went to the restaurant for dinner, I looked around and realized that it was indeed a resort hotel. When I had breakfast, the view of the yacht pool outside the window was beautiful. Parking is also very convenient. You need to swipe your card in and out of the parking lot. Coupled with the location of the resort, there are few outsiders entering, so parking is very safe. But you need to check in first, and then drive to the building where you live to unload your luggage, because there are four or five buildings in the resort, which are very large. The most noteworthy thing is that you must buy breakfast included, which is served from 6:30-10:00. A very authentic American breakfast. Everyone orders from the menu. The typical eggs benny breakfast, Omlet, and Oatmeal are all available, as well as coffee and orange juice. A serving is worth 25+ yuan including tax, so just give me a breakfast coupon, but because someone is serving you, you need to tip for breakfast. If you don't give it, you will be reminded.

I dealt with Enrique and Renee and they were amazing so helpful and sweet. It was my first time in Oakland and they told me about all the amazing places to go see and vist. They were always making sure I was ok and if I needed anything. Definitely will return because of those two.

A good stay with helpful staff. Having 2 Kings beds in room meant our family of 4 could sleep more comfortably - most hotels have only queens. Only downside was some traffic noise from side of hotel our room was located. Airport shuttle is on demand and quick. It also stops at Car rental centre which was a Godsend when we arrived at Fox to pick up our car only to be told they could not honour our reservation as too many cars were returned with broken windows - a sorry reflection on the decay in California with petty crime out of control.
