The outside of the hotel can be deceiving. It looks run down and crappy - but the staff was nice and the hotel rooms clean and updated. More

Recently renovated property with spacious rooms that are tastefully appointed. King size bed, plenty of desk space, sofa, and flat screen TV (albeit, not HD). Room was spotless and staff helpful at all times. Good on-site breakfast - eggs to order (for around $15). Short walking distance to many fine restaurants, bars, and the old convention center. Neighborhood is a... More

We ended up staying in Oakland as the hotels in Downtown SFO where either overpriced or fully booked. Great little hotel just a few steps from the BART station. Stayed with my husband and 2 children and the room accommodated all 4 of us beautifully. Great little restaurant for breakfast offering a healthy range of breakfast options. Only downside is... More

Stayed at the Courtyard Marriott last night in Oakland. Generally like all Courtyards. This is the worst I have ever seen. It is true they are about to renovate the common areas, but the rooms will not be redone until 2013. The mattresses had big, big indentations which made it hard to sleep. The air conditioning unit was hard to... More
