Kat Mc

We loved this hotel It’s clean, quiet and comfortable The staff are very kind and friendly It is beautiful to walk into and it was only a 30-45 minute drive to the largest attractions

We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well Was easily the best shower we have had in a hotel room My only wish is that they would put conditioner in the bathroomstip: We reserved parking at pier 39 any time we planned on being downtown It was only $15 for the whole day

Yo Mama

I came from a hotel in San Fran, and that was horrible The food, service and cleanliness were atrocious This hotel was great

The people were very helpful and friendly My room was very clean The restaurant food was great It was real cooked food, I was very impressed We actually canceled our plans and ate breakfast and dinner the entire week at this restaurant If I ever come back to this area, this will be the hotel I stay at

Carolyn Wei

We selected this hotel based on the positive reviews, but It does not live up to the recommendations The lobby and dining areas are beautiful but our room was shabby to say the least First off, the front desk staff failed to inform us that our room was a smoking room and when I entered with my 4 year old son it reeked of smoke

Then when we went into the bathroom, the towel rack was broken and hanging off on one side Then when I went to give my son a bath, it was evident that the tub had not been cleaned and there was debris near the drain I don’t typically write reviews but this is not a family friendly hotel and I do not recommend to families with young children

All in all a very pleasant stay Freshly renovated this Venetian themed Holiday Inn has a lot to offer From the warm reception at the front desk to the pool and sun deck

A Starbucks in the hotel, breakfast made to order, & a bar w dinner options The area seems to be going through a rejuvenation with new construction and flowering trees You can tell that they are diligently making an effort to improve the area Quick access to highway 🛣 I had a large room with a great view of pool & sundeck Like 👍🏼 & follow for more adventures ✨️ Travel well 47Million views and counting 😊Thank you 😊

Nathan Travers

It’s what you would expect from Holiday Inn Decent rate with a good room My only complaint are the curtain styles that they use, they don’t block all the light in the morning

Other than that, the The bed was very comfortable and the room was a good size and clean The best part is it’s located right next to a movie theater and a bunch of restaurants and places to eat

Kirk

The room was clean and comfortable The breakfast was great However, at about 9pm our smoke alarm started chirping everyone minute or so

The front desk person said they could have someone fix it the next day When I pointed out that I wouldn’t be able to sleep, I was told to remove the battery myself I pointed out that was a safety issue and they gave me a battery I had to stand on a rolling desk chair to figure out how to change it I’m lucky I didn’t break my neck The new battery didn’t fix the problem so I was told to totally disconnect it This seems to be a HUGE safety issue for everyone in the hotel Also, how is it that they have nobody on staff at night to handle basic things like this?

The room was so clean and spacious! I really enjoyed my time here The breakfast was good and convenient, the coffee was great too The only con is that I don’t know why they charge for parking if there is no valet or security guard watching the cars, it shouldn’t be extra to park your own car in a hotel you’re paying for

Besides that, I would definitelyyyyy stay here again

Ian M

My room had a very strong oder which smelled like harsh chemicals and grease The AC leaked water onto the kitchen floor so there was always a puddle, and one of the toilets was clogged The room itself is semi renovated (new kitchen/bathroom)

The parts that were redone were nice, but the carpet has seen better days The staff is very friendly and the rooms themselves are quite big Gym is one of the worst I’ve seen of a Marriott property (1 treadmill, 1 elliptical, free weights up to 40lb, and 1 bench) These are mostly shortcomings/neglect from corporate rather than the management of the property itself I think corporate should put some more renovation money into this property which has the potential to bump the rating (in my opinion) up to a 5

The wife and I stayed on a Friday and Saturday night Friendly check in Young lady got us a room facing the garden area, very nice

Nice pool, although the hot tub is closed for repairs Paid ten dollars extra (in advance) for the breakfast, but it was for a very basic American breakfast, not the fancy buffet which would have cost more The bedding and pillow were super comfortable Had dinner at the hotel restaurant Excellent food, good value, served quickly Good neighborhood Lots of restaurants in the immediate area, as well as two shopping malls within 10 minutes drive

Chrystal Byrd

Great hotel for the price Clean and modern and located in a great spot Felt safe and no problems coming and going at night

Plenty of parking Pool was decent sized, not sure how long the jacuzzi is expected to be closed for repairs Breakfast buffet ($25) is nice, but pricey Lamp on nightstand was too dim to use for reading so I had to drag the floor lamp next to the bed Was surprised at how cramped the bathroom is:/ Also, down comforter should have a duvet cover, it is not sanitary to have guests share this without any cover!!! YUCK!!!

Kari Beaudoin

My room was so quiet! It was clean and welcoming The lobby was clean and welcoming The staff at the front desk where some of the best i have had met in the last few months coming through hotels (yes i travel alot)

I didn’t use any of the amenities, but I saw some kids coming from the pool and they where all smiles which made me smileThis would be a hotel I would recommend and also return to

I’m writing this review for my cousin He was treated very badly! I don’t think this is a word but that’s the point to what happen last night My cousin said he came in around check in to check in on the room

(Pablo) said that the room wasn’t ready So my cousin went and chilled in the parking lot Than went back inside and had Pablo ran his card but the moral of the story is he didn’t get a room Make sure you don’t deal with Pablo If you were having a bad day please don’t take it out others

Rosalind Khim

After a long day of travel, we arrived at the hotel very late at night via the complimentary airport shuttle bus We were warmly greeted by the front desk clerk who asked us to make ourselves comfortable as she helped another family secure a room for the night Apparently, the family’s reservation at another hotel had fallen through, but she was able to help

She was kind and mindful of the late hour and serviced everyone as quickly and efficiently as possible In no time, we were all checked in, given room keys and on our way to enjoying our comfortable, spacious and clean rooms So glad we chose Comfort Inn & Suites

Chris M

Good hotel The front desk staff was hilarious The rooms were clean and very nice

The TV had soccer so I could watch the World Cup games One of the elevators needs a little maintenance It’s a bit old, but felt safe The area is a little sketchy and the hotel is hard to find from the street That is my only gripe with it Parking and WiFi was included which is great!

Jeff Vercelli

I have never been in a Marriotts I didn’t like This one was okay, but with flaws First, if your handicap be sure you request ground level, there are no elevators for the second floor

The rooms were good size with a full kitchen, no complaints there It is an older facility so it had quite a few signs of wearing from age There was some Rust in the bathtub and some corners and edges of the room were worn and even a little dirty Lastly, I am recovering from a broken ankle and did not even think about a Marriott’s not having a elevator, so they had me set on the second floor They did however change everything to a first floor unit which was great However, the first evening we were out of shampoo and our television did not work so I called in kind of late She said she would call and check with maintenance and we never got a call back on the TV or shampoo The shampoo was there when we arrived back the next day , but the TV had not been touched I called again and she said she would get someone over immediately, 30 minutes later there was no one there I called again and she said it might be another 20 minutes and still no one showed up I called the last time and someone was there within 2 minutes Just never had that experience at a Marriott’s comment so that was a little disappointing By the way, that was 2 different receptionistw I was dealing with, not just one Of course maintenance could have been the problem

Isabela Jackson

This place was goodlooking in the pictures and when you first walk in, and staff were welcoming But I will NEVER stay here again! I opened up the covers and saw alot of stains including blood and Last but not least there was a bed bug crawling Right next to me It was 8:00 at night and I packed up my things and left I CAN NOT tolerate bugs

I recommend if you stay here to look at the hotel before staying because this is not the first review on this hotel about having bed bugs and bed being dirty

Philip Shao

Everything was sort of OK, until we found this card by the doorway implicating there’s actually a complimentary MASSAGE service available It’s obvious that someone at the front desk is running a prost*tution ring and they’re quite good at itNever staying here again and another sad day for Marriott for tolerating this kind of BS

Extremely pleased with the room Terrific shower with great water pressure, the best toilet of any hotel I’ve visited and the room was freshly remodeled with a modern feel I found a bed to be comfortable and the desk was great to work from

Only minor grievances I had was you could slightly hear the people walking in the room above you owe that could very well be inconsiderate occupants I’d also like to see a master switch at the door to turn off all the lightsOverall I was very pleased I will definitely use this hotel again

sam graydon

Everything is great, nice and clean Only problem is the morning coffee situation Apparently coffee used to be complimentary but now they’re charging for it, which is fine I guess but every time you go to get a coffee you have to ask someone at the front desk and it takes them like ten minutes to figure out where the cups, creamer, etc are

Every other hotel I’ve ever stayed at treats coffee like a staple – here for some reason it’s way too complicated

Thalia Oliver

I CALLED THIS LOCATION AND ASKED ABOUT MY RETURNING DEPOSIT SINCE IT HAS BEEN 2 WEEKS AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED $0 DEPOSIT BACK IF YOU PAY WITH A DEBIT CARD the employee Jeremy QUOTED IT TAKES 1-2 months of a return of a $100 deposit??? I wonder if this is illegal I don’t recommend this hotel as they are getting interest off people deposit

Location! Location! Location! It is conveniently located next to Dumbarton bridge and easy access to 880 The rooms are decent The staff is friendly

I have spent many nights at this location and the biggest issue we have ran into was housekeeping After putting in a request for our room to be cleaned, it took about 3 days for housekeeping to finally come and clean our room This wasn’t an isolated incident This happened on multiple occasionsThe rooms need maintenance One time our heater was working but the AC was not The other time we had to change rooms because the toilet wouldn’t flushThe elevator also needs some kind of maintenance It’s scary! It shakes and rattles

Matt Slatter

The first room they put us in smelled horrible like someone dumped tons of powdered carpet cleaner everywhere Infact the whole second floor smelled like this to the point that your eyes and sinuses start shutting down after a few minutes The front desk was helpful and moved us to a new room

The rooms are the cheapest low grade rooms I’ve ever seen in a Marriott w plastic fixtures and hospital type lights that come on at sink and bathroom The beds were decent AC controls are in the wall unit and tan either too cold or off Would never stay here again

Joshua Singh

It is a great facility, nice receptionistsBut the biggest complaint is that there was no security I was coming from LA for grad school and planned on staying at the hotel before moving into my apartment

I had very expensive valuables like my computer and colognes and other items sitting in my carThe following night my car was broken into from the rear windows and was robbed of my valuablesUnion city is really a garbage city I had called the police and they didn’t show up The hotel had surveillance cameras but then told me they weren’t functioning There should be a security guard in a city like thisThis was my introduction to union city I have noticed there are a lot of shady characters walking behind the hotelI did not stay safe at this hotel and left the following day to the HamptonThere was a sign that said don’t keep items in the car but it wasn’t as obvious I obviously wasn’t looking for a sign and I knew nothing of this city I did not expect this was going to happenHonestly consider looking elsewhere for a hotel!!

Josh Salvage

This hotel is always clean and most important comfortable Nice towels super comfy beds and some rooms have a small couch and nice desk area I’d recommend staying here anytime your within 20 miles of this location and need a decent place to stay

Be ware parking is free but don’t leave anything visible in the car, car break ins occur in this area are frequent

Joseph Avins

My standards are modest, yet the nicer a place is overall, the more small shortcomings stand out This place is very nice overall, so here are a couple of minor shortcomings The breakfast is cooked to order, which is great

But on my first morning I was in a bit of a hurry, so I’d rather have had a grab and go option On the other morning I left time for breakfast; I ordered my eggs over medium and the whites were runny anyhow, and the toast was only toasted on one side The TV service was very limited, like something out of the 90s but wide screen (That’s becoming a pet peeve with me, nice hotels with lousy TVs) To be clear, everything else was terrific

Quiet, right off the 101fwy, and great rooms The check in process was extremely easy The room was well cleaned, and well kept

Little scratches here and there, but overall well kept Room came with full kitchen, stove, cooking utensils, cups, mugs, pans, full size fridge, microwave, and dishwasher Small living room but comfy, king size bed and 2 TV The only reason gave it a 4 is, according to front office staff (who I suspect were the owners) the don’t control the AC system in there own hotel So my room was in high 80’s I called the front end so they can tell me how to lower the temp, and the answer I got was sorry we don’t know and have no control over the AC Which i found hard to believe

Jigar Agrawal

It is not as beautiful as they have portrayed in the picture There are some pros But the cons are many more and most people won’t let them go while considering an expensive stay

Cons:The staff is quite unresponsive I felt like they do not even care This could be personal though, but they have not delivered toiletries even though I requested them this morning The rooms are not quite clean Some kind of sticky thing on tables Looks are frozen puke! The bathroom door doesn’t lock Breakfast is very poor They just have some eggs, juice, bagels, 1 type of fruit, coffee, and some juice I was expecting more variety of fruits and yogurt and everything No elevator The furniture is very old and looks cheapPros:The bedroom was nice and comfyI would have given half star if available

Ashley Marie

Wonderful local hotel with all the comforts of a well kept home Ruby and DJ at the front desk were both very helpful and always attentive to whatever questions I had or help I needed The Hyatt Homes come with a basketball court, swimming pool, bbq area next to a fire pit all surrounded by a lovely pond with walking trails

The full breakfast included with your stay was full of a variety of foods and snacks to eat there or take with you for exploring the area

Excellent customer service Clean and modern rooms Absolutely love the robot delivery

The only issue I experienced was with the EV Charger I witnessed a few people plugging in their Tesla and walking to work In the evening I saw someone watching a movie in their vehicle while it was charging Obviously they weren’t guests at the hotel I wish we got the opportunity to use the EV chargerUpdate: It seems like EV charging is a big issue at this location Most regular guests are aware of people swapping out their cars throughout the day to get a free charge This is really unfair to all the guests who wish to use this complimentary amenityThe hallways are really noisy We requested a high floor room to avoid all the noise We were very disappointed

Mitch Cullins

The hotel was great It’s well-appointed They have a sold menu, pool, TV options, etc

I had a small problem with my room (none of the internet-based TV services worked) Stuff happens/things break More than I am disappointed to not have streaming TV for a night, I am super-pleased with their efforts to make me happy Their engineer spent over an hour with tech support before determining a replacement device was needed Then later he found me in the hall, apologized and gave a great explanation – he put in a LOT of time for my one little problemIt turned out that first night the hotel was full, so they had no options But the next morning, as I walked to the car, the (Manager?) ran across the parking lot to tell me would have a new room ready and to meet him in the afternoon He didn’t have to do that Heck, he had me resigned to the “broken” room all week, and could have sold what was one of his few open rooms He didn’t He sprinted to take care of me and I appreciate itI am headed back to the area soon, and based on that experience, Aloft is where I will stay every time I can

Wang Yue

I stayed three nights in this hotel from 3/16 to 3/18 The hotel was completely cut off power on the last night, 3/18, starting at least 9pm I was back to hotel around 9pm and it was already power off

The hotel did nothing Obviously they don’t want to pay extra to call someone to solve the outage issue after-hour The electricity was not back on until next day morning around 9:30am And, apparently, they can avoid preparing breakfast because of thatThe most disappointed part was there was no explanation, no apologies and of course no refund at all Obviously, they don’t care about customer satisfaction or their service quality I’ve been traveling all over the country and this is definitely the WORST experience

They made extra charges on our creditcard without any invoice, without prior information and without questioning, totally illegal

I wrote them to claim but nothing, so now I have a claim with booking com help and also I made legal steps with our lawyer Be carefully with this hotel! Also the breakfast was terrible, disgusting the place not bad, but seems the direction board of the hotel are terrible

Isabel Cisn

I just want to thank front desk attendant that was attending us on the day that we checked in Roberto for being so kind and understanding we came really far and he was very accommodating towards us and also thank you to the housekeepers I didn’t get their names but they deserve recognition they were very attentive with us and made sure that we were OK in our hotel the hotel is absolutely beautiful and thank you to everyone who’s been very kind to us definitely a new customer that’s is going to be coming very often thank you again

I really like this place especially for work travel Work space in the room, with a desk you can move around easily, large window, full kitchen that’s updated, clean, kind staff, free breakfast in the morning, target and coffee close, light toiletries in the lobby, etc Everything is just perfect for a simple work trip with all the stuff you need including a choice of upgraded wifi for video conferencing

I’ll be back

Beware the room service! I’ve lost my fountain pen (of value over $400) after one day’s room service; also, during that day’s room service, no new towel was left (I had to go to front desk to get them), a used sponge mat was left in my shower room, and the faucets were cleaned so carelessly that they were nearly damaged I reached out to their manager about my loss, and that was helplessThis is the first time that I have something lost while living in a hotel

So I have to give a one-star because I think the safety is the most important to me, even if they do other things nicely My suggestion is: always put the no-disturb tag on your door, or carry your valuable belongings with you if you are not present during the room serviceThe room was nice at first glance But if you live there for more than 3 days, you’ll gradually find negative things: the cooking pots were in poor condition, no spatula, no kettle, some outlets didn’t work, the bathroom door had issue opening, etcOn the other hand, the courtesy breakfast was good, the printer service was nice, and this hotel is pet-friendly

Way better places out there – no idea how they have anything above 2 star reviews $150 pet fee that they do not disclose at booking Employees are inept and cannot resolve the smallest of problems

The place was dirty $10 parking charge Simply a terrible place to stay No where near the standards of Marriot The entire experience was terrible from customer service to cleanliness to lack of managers It took three days and multiple phone calls to get a manager on the phone

Whatever you do, avoid doing business with these criminals I wish I could give them negative stars My brother warned me about Marriott

Dear God I wish I had listened Under no circumstances will I ever lay my head, or pay for anyone else to lay theirs on one of there pillows ever again This entity sees absolutely no problem with reserving four thousand dollars on your credit card for a bill less than half that amount They think it is perfectly acceptable to hold funds indiscriminately with no logic, or reason Press them on their hyper-aggressive practices and they say it’s their “system” over which they have no control I don’t believe that for a nano-second Save yourself the heartache and stress and simply choose another place to get a decent night’s sleep

This is a fairly recent build of a typical suburban Residence Inn propertyThe location is wonderful, convenient to freeway access by car, and adjacent to a very nice shopping complex on footThe staff is uniformly accommodating and welcoming, adding the “icing on the cake” to what makes this a great choice for your accommodations

Comfortable bed The desk is a little narrow which is important for my work trips Friendly staff

No complaints with other amenities (towels, soaps, shower) I’d recommend this place Valet was reasonably fast With the exception of the coffee shop attached to the hotel, there are good dining options within walking distance Regarding coffee shop, black coffee was bitter and if I didn’t need the boost I would have poured it out I can also appreciate/understand that some places have to mark up food prices, but $4 for a grocery store cup of yogurt is excessive I should have stuck with the $6 breakfast burrito

This review is difficult to write because certain aspects of the hotel are great and others are notRoom – We stayed in the nicest sweet with the exception of the penthouse, we stayed in the Jack London Suite Great size room

great layout however there are quite a few issues with the room First off the bed is extremely uncomfortable to the point where we cut our stay short by one night because we could not get a good night’s rest Second issue the sofa bed our daughter was going to sleep on was zip tied shut (no exaggeration) During our stay there was also a shortage of pillows and blankets For the room we could only get four total pillows and three blankets when I called down During my travels this is the first time there has been a shortage on pillows and blankets Another issue I had during our stay our room was never cleaned or turned downStaff – The staff is great!Location – Location is great very close to the ferry that takes you across the bay to San FranOverall review as others have stated on here, you are better off staying at a different hotel which isn’t dated/worn down The amount we spent during our stay, we also paid for the last night we didn’t even stay in the hotel Despite me bringing the issues to management there was a lack of a empathy

Paige M

The locations and views are wonderful Staff is friendly I upgraded my room and that’s where the issues started

The first room’s heat did not work We were moved to another room It was just dirty, which I noticed the next day after our late night move I brought it to front desk attention, but the report there was really nothing they could do I have reached out to Hyatt It looks so nice online and lobby is adorable Just frustrating!Edit: manager reached out and was very helpful

This hotel is great for vacations or get aways The rooms are cozy and clean The staff are very professional and welcoming

They take Covid protocol seriously The continental breakfast that is included with your stay is delicious The pool is heated and clean, not to mention the view of the Marina is gorgeous My family really enjoyed our stay We will definitely return

Jason Matsumoto

I stayed here for almost 3 weeks It was a pretty good experience overall Some of the front desk staff were friendly and warm, while others weren’t so much

The rooms are above average, but not awesome I witnessed a car being broken into while looking out my room window one afternoon and then went down to the lobby to report it and the manager asked me to call the police, rather than him calling them, which seemed very weird and off putting They also rented the meeting room out to some sort of party with a DJ on a Saturday night, resulting in plenty of bass reverberating throughout the property until late evening Breakfast has make-your-own waffles and toast, some pastries and such, boiled eggs, and not much else The walls between the rooms aren’t the worst, but you can still hear the TV and voices in adjacent rooms While the property is directly on the water, the marina is in a state of disrepair and the area is not the best place for walking around after dark It’s fine and even quite pleasant during the day, though The main thing going for it is the overall value – it’s one of the best priced places in the area that is actually decent I’ll stay here again if I want to save a few bucks over some of the other places in the area

Bob Morris

What I can say is that they went out of their way to pick us up after hours with the shuttle van Van service is up to 7pm The room was nice sized and the furniture looked good

The bathroom had a good sized shower The problem for us was that bed was too hard and the same with the pillows The breakfast could have been better, too! We were expecting a view of the marina, but it was of the parking lot The marina was within viewing when you are outside Based on what you want, the staff was very friendly and helpful

I like the mature trees planted around the complex We brought our 2 small dogs and there was lots of places to walk them Lots of parking spaces

The one bedroom was clean but a bit cramped Studios are more spacious even though they have the same square footage The bathrooms are updated I love the blackout curtains, I feel well rested after a good night’s sleepThey serve just regular breakfast everyday The eating area is bright and spaciousWe stayed for one week and our room was cleaned only once and I had to request for it! No one comes to clean everyday so kitchen trash builds up that I had to throw trash in the garbage bins outside The fire alarm went off in our building My husband and son ran out but no one came to tell them what happened or if it was okay to return back inside the building

Jorene Downs

The Pleasanton Residence Inn is an older building but well done remodeling Large, comfortable room An actual seating area plus large desk

Nice kitchenette with dishwasher Well stocked with dishes, pots and pans I like that most of the rooms have a large stall shower instead of a tub shower Great service Easy to access, convenient to 2 main highways, shopping of all kinds just minutes away I just wish it wasn’t literally right next to the highway Traffic noise was not obvious in the room even facing the highway, but step out back and the noise was very obviousRecommended for the longer stay if you plan to do some of your own cooking Nice breakfast options provided and included

I don’t ever write reviews for places, let alone hotels, but I wanted to go out of my way to shout out two people at the hotel, Vanessa and Wilbert at the front desk Vanessa went out of her way multiple times to help me get a room that I’d like, especially since I was staying longer-term In addition she was so kind, professional, and warm

Management: if she qualifies for any kind of raise or bonus, she deserves it She made my stay much better Same with Wilbert–went above and beyond to help me and was kind, warm, and helpful Both were wonderful and I feel grateful to them–thank youI stayed at this Residence Inn for close to 2 months, from mid October to early December The hotel is recently renovated (and they were still doing some improvements while I was there) to be more sleek and contemporary The breakfast was pretty good–best of many extended stay hotels I’ve stayed in the last 6 months Every day there were scrambled eggs, oatmeal, yogurt, fresh fruit, plus fresh pastries and waffles, and a rotation of different breakfast sausage/bacon/etc every day The ladies who work the breakfast were lovely, I never caught any of their names, but they were friendly and kind Thank you!
