Decent hotel with nice view

Overall it is a decent place to stay. Great views over the water if you get that side. Breakfast was decent morning fare you get at a hotel included. Generous rooms and comfortable bed. The one issue was hot water. First day I got it after 5 mins and the second it didn’t get above cool. It’s an Uber to Oakland or pretty much anywhere.

Rynelle, San Francisco

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The exterior was presentable but I couldn’t understand why there was only one entrance/exit driveway to the facility where there could be one on the other side of the property. Maybe it’s city or traffic ordinance thing. Parking was easy. Check-in was easy. My room was furthest away from the elevators, so it was really nice to be that far apart, but it took some walking to get to. Fortunately, they had one set of elevators. I thought parking was free, but they do charge for parking at $17/night. It just wasn’t expected, especially given the fact there are no other parking opportunities available nearby or across the street. The room is old and has a late 1980’s -1990’s feel and decor. Surfaces were slightly sticky to the touch so I had to clean them off. Sofa and chairs did not look inviting to sit on as I questioned its cleanliness. It didn’t look Ike it had been cleaned in a long time. Curtains were stained and had small holes throughout. The view of the room was fantastic though. I got a Bay view which was nice. I think the patio door should have been more solid and noise reducing. You can hear highway traffic from your room, especially at night. I had to use noise-cancelling headphones to block the sound. The bathroom and living space had the occasional scout ant looking for food. It was worse in the bathroom between the tub and sink and on the corner of the toilet room door (which needs to be cleaned as it was sticky to the touch). Shower was excellent! Solid value.

What an unexpected surprise! We were traveling to visit family in Oakland with two adults and two 6 1/2-year-olds. Our double queen size room was huge and the pullout sofa even made it even better. The separated toilet was so helpful. The room was on the ground floor and our patio door opened up to a beautiful view of San Francisco Bay. The kids could run around on the grass outside and blow bubbles! The staff was outstanding. Not just cheerful, but also made sure we got everything we needed. Thank you to Mele, Kayla, Anahi and Daniela. They made our trip better than we expected. Note:there’s a navy base across the water and they blow revelry and taps each day. We are a military family, so that made us smile. Also, the pool and the hot tub were much enjoyed by the kids.

Nicer hotel with view of garbage pile.

Nice older hotel. Needs a little refresh, but biggest disapointment is watching staff walk past the huge trash pile near the picknik table and water's edge without even thinking to clean it up. Beautiful sunset, but hard to ignore the tragic garbage pile.
