Fridge was leaking when we arrived. Dead ants on the baseboard. Bed skirt had looks like old food on it, throw pillows had stains. Supposed to be a bar and restaurant that wasn't opened during our stay. The main reason for our stay there. We had business in San Francisco where we could have stayed. We was given drink and food coupons that couldn't be used. Was told we would get a 15% off our room that didn't happen. The view from our room of the lake was very nice. Had to go to the hotel next door for breakfast. Breakfast was good.

Great view

The stay and view was amazing! The only downsides were the bathroom sink leaked a bit whenever I washed my head, one of the lights in the room flickered a bit, and for some reason the bathroom door jammed and I was locked in there for about 3-5 mins. My being looked in the bathroom was hilarious so I didnt think to complain and the view made up for the other issues. The view is breathtaking and this was the first time those other issues happened. I always choose to stay at that hotel any chance I get.

Breakfast at the other hotel. Coffee machine broken again. Staff are friendly. Parking is expensive with no security on duty. Neighborhood is a bit shady. Oakland is definitely getting worse every time I visit.

Beautiful waterfront hotel with a full bath and balcony on the water. Great breakfast options and very clean. I’ve stayed at their sister hotel many times when traveling to the bay area and this hotel was just as wonderful as the Executive Inn and Suites next door. One of my favorite places to stay and doesn’t feel like Oakland at all. It feels like a mini vacation!

The room above me was noisy until 3 or 4am and the front desk acted like I had a problem when I asked them to please talk with the guests about quieting down. After no improvement an hour later I asked for a different room just so that I could sleep. The overnight manager treated me with disgust as she handed the keys to me and told me to move my belongings. I gave up and stayed in my room - lost 3-4 hours of sleep. Lesson learned - stay on the top floor.

The hotel was nice and clean, but smelled like weed constantly. It says there is a pool and continental breakfast, but it does not say that it is at the hotel next-door. You are also charged $17 a night to park your car and they warn you there’s a chance it’ll get broken into because it’s an issue there.
