Ugh...where do I start? The room had a terrible old musty smell, the carpet was moist when I stepped out of bed, the heater did not work and I had to walk downstairs to get the check-in person to come fix it. The TV was miniscule and had no cable. The internet was wired only. The elevator was broken on... More

I spent one night here and would recommend it to anyone who 1. has to within blocks of the 12th Street Bart Station, The Oakland California Museum, the Oakland Tribune, or the Fox Theater 2. does not mind a tiny, nearly windowless room for a very short stay 3. needs to spend as little money as possible on lodging Please...

I loved this place! People were friendly and helpful. Room was clean, bed comfy, nice sheets. Super close to BART. Lots of restaurants nearby. (Loved the Shishkabob placed attached and Spices 3 Chinese on Webster a block and a half away). Note, if you like your rooms like most Americans like their meals - large and full of cheap crap,...

I'm gold level rewards at Marriott, but I still love a bargain. This clean, well run little hotel just 2 blocks from BART is just that. Why spend $350 a night in downtown San Francisco when an 11 minute ride on BART ($3.40) will get you to this $85 a night bargain. The rooms are nice... comfy new beds, flat-screen... More

The bed was ok and the room was clean, except for the carpet, which was absolutely filthy. The carpets in the corridors and on the stairs looked as though they had not seen a vacuum cleaner in weeks. We were told by the reception clerk on duty that we could park anywhere between 6pm and 8am. We ended up getting... More

Stayed for five nights, March 2012, attending a conference. Location is good, BART 200 m walking distance \||(easy access to SF, Berkeley and all bay area),300 m to convention center. Front desk staff is nice and helpful. Pacific Coast brewery next block. Rooms are clean, but small (too small to my standards). The bathroom on the other end is big.... More

We booked a room here, but when we saw it -- inside with barely enough room for the bed, and no wi- fi in the room, though we had called and we're told that wi-fi was available, we declined to stay. I add that it is in a dicey part of town, and we had to dodge a wino in... More

This hotel doesn't even offer parking. You have to park on the street and then get up by 8am to put in coins or park next to homeless people in the lot next door and STILL get up by 8am to pay more for parking. No king beds. No two doubles. Just tiny tiny rooms that are super dated and... More

The Clarion hotel in downtown Oakland, CA helped make the vacation great fun. The front Office, specifically Chauncy Taylor, made the trip more enjoyable. She was able to offer suggestions on what to do there in the Bay area that were very helpful and saved some money on the tours and restaurants. It was a great hotel for the downtown... More
