We stayed on two separate occasions during April 2013. Both times we stayed in a room with 2 beds as it gives more floorspace. The double room was standard fare and size. The linens and towels were clean. The bathroom was clean. The only flaws I found were some exploded food bits in the microwave (1st stay) and some sticky... More

I recently stayed here for two nights. The first was in a mountain view room. It was very noisy from the freeway traffic (all night, mind you) despite me being on the 10th floor. Thank goodness for the earplugs. The room was clean, and it was nice to have a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. I checked in for a... More

First the positives. Spacious and clean room, excellent services, attentive, friendly staff. However, my room was on the second floor and when I looked out the window there was a parking lot, a secondary road, and just beyond that a busy expressway. I didn't sleep much the first night so I purchased a fan for "white noise" and it helped,... More

The hotel is on the other side of San Francisco and has a nice view of the the bay. Service is good and it is pleasant to stay. The rooms on the bay are the best for view and quietness. It is a good place to stay in Emeryville and people will help you with very sort of support.

Very clean and spacious rooms. The King size bed is air adjustable, but one night is not long enough to figure it out. It easy to get to, just down from the Oak-SF bridge, yet away from the congestion which I appreciated. We were there for medical procedure in SF and found this to a reasonable alternative to staying in... More

We stayed here for an overnight prior to joining our AMTRAK train early the next day. Comfortable and clean room, good WiFi. Good follow-up by the front desk staff. Restaurant on-premises is a good feature since we didn't want to wander out.

Hilton G.I.'s have been fairly consistent for me, so I went with it. Wish I'd gone elsewhere. This was an average stay, at best. In particular, service was lacking.
