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

It felt nice to be in a clean, fresh room! I didn’t see one spec of dirty Love the scent of the shampoo and the bar of soap! Yum! The only reason why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the tv didn’t have any channels

they did send someone up to help but he couldn’t get it working then they called my room and asked if we want to switch rooms… I had 5 kids with me and we all had just brought our stuff in and got off the road from a 4-5 hour drive didn’t want to move especially after feeling how comfy the beds were 😅 maybe y’all should have housekeepers double check the TVs are working properly before checking in guests I would expect the TV to work if y’all gonna charge me $52142 for 2 nights Oh there isn’t a microwave either 🙁 they have a fridge but no microwave in room to warm up food :/They have very little parking space around the hotel but they do have an overflow parking garage right next to the hotel But other than that everything was great Especially the customer service! Sorry for the other guests that had to hear me and the kids 😅Thank y’all so much though ❤️‍🔥 definitely would recommend others to stay here

Carlotta Fernbush

We stayed here for 2 weeks The rooms are very clean & so quiet, we got great sleep here every night All the hotel associates were just great

All smiles & so pleasant all the time Darlynn (spelling?) Is absolutely amazing! She made us feel so welcome, not just at check-in, but every day we were there We’ve stayed at hotels all over the country for work & she is probably my favoriteThe hotel is in a great location, so close to SF & Oakland for sightseeing My only negative feed back would be the extreme lack of parking & no microwaves in the rooms Otherwise, we had a great stay

Aryan Sood

Great hotel for stay Spacious rooms, 24/7 accessible gym, modern look, and very good staff service The location is also great with shops on the same street and the AMC Bay Street is a mere 5 minute walk from the hotel

The breakfast leaves some things to be desired, and isn’t as expansive as most other continental breakfast One major issue was that the eyehole on the room’s door was reversed and completely unsafe since anyone could see everything in the room from outside, but the guest services immediately sent someone to fix the issue

Pete VR

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

Jess Brant

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

David Poole

Newly renovated, unlike some Garden Inns, this hotel has truly upscale accommodations I had a splendid stay until I went down for breakfast, finding a breakfast policy with absolutely no continental option for your $10 credit I had unknowingly walked in and acknowledged my credit at check in, declining the points add back offered

This was an annual Honors stay offered for Diamond members, the only redemption to this story If I had paid for this room I would be much more feisty 😇

David Bunjac

Very good hotel for the price point and very conveniently located in Emeryville close to the Bay Bridge and Oakland Inside, it’s quiet, clean and most importantly, the beds are very comfortable! The neighborhood is safe with good shopping very close The downside is the property is aging and is showing signs of wear

Good maintenance is trying to keep up, but there are still flaws that will only be corrected with a major rehab No safe in the room and aging furniture Water pressure so-so $20 breakfast buffet that was not much better than what you’d see for free in other properties, so the dining room was empty at breakfast time with hot trays full standing for who knows how long But despite those problems, I would stay again It’s a good base to explore SF or the rest of the Bay Area and not too expensive That’s why I give four stars

Kristina Boler

The location is very convenient and the hotel is nice in appearance The staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were cleanPlease note that you do have to pay $20 a day for parking which though I did notice that when we made the reservation, I thought that was a lot just to park

In my opinion, it should be free for choosing to stay there The breakfast was good but again, over priced They don’t have a pool but I was okay because I looked forward to the hot tub which was sadly closed when we were staying there So lots of plus’s and minuses but the location was worth it for our travel plans

Wonderful on every level A kind and caring staff Great bar in the lobby

Cozy rooms and great prices The staff really makes the experience the best They really want to make sure you are having a good time, not just in the hotel but when you leave as well They always welcome you back and wish you a good day or night when you go out Will definitely come back

Joanne Carusi

The hotel is very pretty and has held onto the original charm The staff is also very kind!The room was furnished nicely but was on the smaller side The door that connected our room with the one next door had a 2+ inch gap at the bottom and you could see into the next room, we stuffed a blanket under it to keep out the excess noise and from the people staying in the room from seeing into our space

The walls are thin so both our neighbors chatting sounded like people were in the room with us The bathroom was tiny and not practical at all There was no bathroom counter space as the bowl sink took up almost all the room and there were no hooks anywhere to hang your towels so we ended up grabbing hangers from the closet and hanging our towels from the shower curtain, otherwise our towels never dried on the shelf provided The TV barely worked and was glitchy every time we tried to use it The neighborhood is super convenient with delicious restaurants and coffee all around but it’s not super safe and very dirty If your looking for a quiet/private stay and for your room to be more then just aesthetically pleasing then this is not the place for you The price is too high for what is offered here I wouldn’t stay again unless it was a very short stay and/or the price was decreased by at least 1/3

Bill Leys

Beautiful hotel right downtown in Berkeley Easy walk to restaurants and shops in the neighborhood and Bart is right there at the corner for access all around the bayGreat old hotel with beautiful details and it’s obviously well cared for and loved

It’s clean it’s appealing the rooms are nice great bed to sleep onDefinitely worth the money when compared to other hotels in the area and the reviews they haveWill be back next time I’m coming to Berkeley

Kim Stuart

Great location Beautiful setting Staff is SO nice that it’s almost impossible to say enough about how great they are!Only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because some of the fixtures and furnishings are looking a bit down at the heels and that’s not quite appropriate

Time for a bit of a refreshMy bathroom shower was giant and fancy but I couldn’t get the water quite hit enough no matter how much I fiddled with that Grohe temp setting

Juliana Schroeder

I had a truly horrific experience The room cost more than $800 and there was just one issue after another The worst was that there was a 3 hour wait to get a crib, which was set up so that it folded halfway through the night and almost killed my baby

I was calling customer service for hours and when they finally answered they said “oh sorry, we were busy” Busy at midnight? That’s a ridiculous lie, they just didn’t have any manning the desk Later on, the woman at the front desk had no idea about any of the events going on My husband left his phone at the pool and then they refused to let him get it back after the pool area closed He literally didn’t have a phone all night long until I went in and negotiated with them in the morning Then housekeeping came by at 7 am and knocked loudly on the door for like 5 minutes The wake up call we definitely didn’t need I can say without a doubt that this was one of the worst hotels I’ve been to in my life

Kerry Wilson

We really enjoyed our escape to the gorgeous Claremont The building has been beautifully updated with modern decor and features, yet it maintains historic elements and charm The hotel’s location on the edge of Berkeley allows for a quiet getaway, yet it’s a short, safe walk from the shops and restaurants of College Avenue

Highly recommend upgrading to a room with a view of the bay and the Golden Gate Bridge

Great property with a free breakfast and Tesla chargers for guests Now the $20 for parking is not ideal but it could have been worse I did have an issue with the flat $200 hold placed on my credit card, I’m not use to having my credit card treated like it’s a debit card

I must applaud Angel Working the front desk as she was just a pleasure to deal with and she made sure my stay was good, the rooms are nice and clean along with sanitizing and bagging up the remote control which is one of the dirtiest things you will ever encounter in a hotel room I was lucky to have a room that faced the Bay side of the hotel and it was definitely a nice view to have since it was a clearer evening and morning in the bay You will be happy with the location as there are plenty of food and dining options within walking distance along with some shopping opportunities in the other shopping center within a 10 minutes walk I can say that this day was very pleasant along with we felt very safe on the property along with our vehicle being in an area where it was protected even without having a fence system to keep other individuals out There is some foot traffic due to a few bus stops along the route but there isn’t anything major that you should be concerned about, you can stay here with peace of mind that you will have a good clean room and a hotel that looks very modern and welcoming I know once my travels bring me back to the area we definitely have a new favorite place to stay

Dut Kasilag

Good stay !Wonderful option if you want to be close to Berkeley and have some peace and quiet and be close to the shopsGood facilities, there is enough parking with breakfast included For additional food options, The Public Market is right across

The Amtrak terminal is also in the vicinity My room was at the front of the building so I cannot comment on the Amtrak noise to be fairDefinitely will consider this hotel when I’m in the area

Nancy

we were there for the long weekend First the staff AMAZING!! from the security guard to the front desk are super welcoming and nice Excellent the staff is friendly

YOU GET THE BEST BREAKFAST!! you get everything from healthy fruit to delicious bread the set up is very nice and professional Overall I was happy The parking is nice plenty of parking and safeThe room : the room it was nice not very impressed I like that it was clean however the bathroom (shower) needs BIG BIG Remodeling the tile is all look dirty and is a weird brown tile, Im sure it was clean but is super old needs works I’m giving it 5***** because of the amazin staff and friendly people working there, even the breakfast staff is so nice , and the hotel smell good and you get fast service if you require one I will probably stay here again but I will make sure the shower is betterOverall good price, nice room, good view, close to everything we were like 15 min away from all the main areas GOOD HOTEL

Jean-Paul Watson

Biggest plus for this hotel is being only 5 minutes from OAK It’s a reasonable Hampton Inn, if a bit older Nice lobby and bar area

Rooms were 4/5, only to be dinged for being probably 10+ years old w/o renovation Front desk check-in was efficient, professional, and pleasant Some decent restaurants are about a 5 minute drive away Nice bonus to be on the walking path along the water front – lots of bird and sea life to see At the end of an OAK runway, so there is some overhead noise – but not nearly as much as I expected And it didn’t impact sleep

V Maxeno

You get what you pay for, the room are pretty outdated and it smells oldYou are far from everything, and in the middle of an industrial areaThe bistro is not worth counting on for your dinner!The staff were nice, breakfast was very decent, and the rooms facing south/west have a very nice view, apart from planes taking off a few hundred feet away 😉

nam

The worst Hilton experience we’ve ever been through They canceled our reservation because our card declined? (which is a lie because we got a confirmation number and a receipt) It was a room for 2 nights and we reserved it for mid day but we arrived late at night Since it was a 2 night reservation it’s standard that as long as we’re paying we can come in whenever

This was not the case! There was a warriors game going on and they immediately gave our room away without notice or any email, text, calls, etc They did this so they could charge higher rates to someone else The reception was also rude and not accommodating, it was clear they were lying because their story kept switching up on why they canceled

I absolutely love the service here! All the staff make it a point to make sure you’re treated with respect and are very friendly! They even greet you as much as possible to make you feel welcomed! From the shuttle drivers, front desk receptions, the bar, and the housekeeping everyone is so friendly and you really feel like they love having you in their establishment!I was staying at different hotel for 2 weeks before finding this place and am really sad I didn’t find this place sooner!The only reason why their rooms got 4 stars instead of 5 is because they have a wonderful walkin closet but 1 thing is missing to make this a complete 5 star establishment I recommend having full length mirrors somewhere in the room I think it would go great on the inside portion of the closet door!Thank you for all you do and can’t wait for my next visit!

The greatest were Good and the room was nice I was very disappointed in the breakfast

Marriott seems to want to be cheap and not go back to the old styles of breakfast real food it’s real food I got a bag Breakfast but I didn’t get the bag The sandwiches are not good tasting sandwiches they’re just OK Maybe this works for kids but I don’t think so people like real food I’ve I’ve spent a lot of money and time in Marriott’s I was very disappointed In all 3 Marriott’s I stayed in this Week Douglas!!!

Considering all the travel reviews we post, this may be the first time we have reviewed a property we have not actually completed our stay atMy wife and I checked into the Moxy for a two night stay earlier today The lobby and bar area looked very cool and had a fun vibe about it

We definitely looked forward to spending some time there during our stay Sarah and Libby assisted us at check-in at the end of the bar Both were very friendly and professionalShortly after arriving at our room we realized that the location of the hotel was not convenient to the location of the event we were attending Bad planning on our partUnderstanding that we were well outside the 24-hour cancellation policy, we returned to the front desk and asked if we had any options to cancel Both Sarah and Libby were very understanding and took care of our cancellation needs immediatelyThe high level and friendly service we received from Libby and Sarah is what continues to make the Marriott properties our only choice when traveling Thank you!

Clancy Taylor

The staff was kind and courteous, great albeit a bit small rooms Feels very hip and modern Nice hotelWord to the wise tho, my bags were stolen from me while I was unloading my car at 430pm on a Saturday

Folks just drove up, took them while I was unloading and drove away Not the hotels fault, but just be hyper aware when uploading and loading your car

Brendan T. Westfall

This is the second Moxy my partner and I have stayed in, and it was just as pleasant as the first! There was plenty of street parking available around the hotel, and the welcome drinks were a nice touch The furniture and games in the lobby were appreciated, and the room and bathroom were well-decorated as well We would stay again if we make another trip to SF!

I gave it three stars due to Irene a staff member who was very rude on the phone when i called from my room asking about my charges Due to her tone and sharp comments i had to inform her I was only asking due to me never being advised by staff And she still was rude and annoyed

As a customer i felt disrespected and she acted like i should have already known since i booked my stay She has very poor customer service I booked my stay through a third party and they said the resort fees will differ depending on the resortNow for the best part, the valet was amazing wish I could remember his name, he was welcoming, informative, helpful and had great customer serviceWe also had the pleasure of meeting James one of the bar servers In the oak bar He was amazing, his customer service was authentic, not forced, very informative, great attitude and most importantly he was available Most times when your the only server on the floor it can be overwhelming Not James he did such a great job and he made us a jalapeño Moscow mule that was amazingThank you valet and James for making my stay amazing and providing great customer service at this difficult time in the world

I hadn’t been to Oakland in at least 20yrs and so much has changed! Some for the good and, as everywhere else, the not so good, but this hotel is very niceThe staff were extremely helpful, courteous, and personableThe rooms are nicely appointed, but I did have an issue day 1 with a sewage smell coming from the bathroom

It dissipated shortly after being there a couple of hours and it was fine the rest of my stay I noticed the same smell in a couple of spots throughout the City so it wasn’t their faultThe bed was super comfortable so I got plenty of good sleep on this trip and I loved it!Housekeeping answered my request quickly and accurately and Safety was High in priority here with mask on hand to hand out, sanitizer, and the redirection of anyone not behaving Respectfully I was really pleased with my stayThey have Ballrooms, Fitness, and a really nice Restaurant on site as wellIf you are ever in Oakland, California it is a great place to stay!

I love Marriott! Always excellent service My issue was the bathroom lighting was horrible Maybe add an extra light over the mirror

Also I noticed that the wash clothes were “ Made in Pakistan” That was odd to me since the other towels were a different brand Any explanation? And the pillows were way to soft I had to fold them in half to get any head support

Night desk help was very helpful and friendly, morning team seemed to be bothered by us checking out Especially the gentleman that kept coming out from the back office! Stayed both before we flew out and when we returned We had the same experience both times

Hotel is being renovated (really needed!,) so some rooms are nicer than others Great water pressure and lots of hot water! Could be the morning staff deals with construction complaints more than night crews and thus the grumpiness First night was on the first floor, Window locks didn’t work Was a little worried since the hotel has a giant security fence around the perimeter No maintenance staff for the evening so we used what was there to secure it Slept better on the plane the next day LOL! Very convenient to the airport and understand hotel is being renovated I am sure it will be back to what is was in no time

Southwest Airlines screwed 56 of its customers and put most of us up in this hotel The hotel was fast, efficient, and had two people working the front desk once we finally got to the hotel They had a small free shuttle to and from the airport and given there were so many of us rescheduled to fly out at 6am the next morning, provided uber rides to ensure that their guests arrived back at the airport on time, early the next morning

They provided us with comfy beds, a hot shower, and had a quick grab-and-go breakfast ready with hot coffee Kudos to the two PM workers and especially the night shift front desk staff member who worked his tail off to ensure a smooth morningThank you for making our unanticipated stay a little more bearable

We checked in around 5:30 pm on Sunday May 8, and found out that the shampoo, shower gel and coffee condiments (sugar, cream, etc) were not refilled We asked the front desk for refills but unfortunately, the housekeeping was gone for the day

However she was kind enough to give us a shampoo in a plastic cup I haven’t experienced this on other Holiday Inn Express locations The breakfast was good but that’s about it I don’t think I’ll be coming back to this hotel when we visit Oakland again

35 If you have to be in downtown Oakland, this is a good (not great) option

Service was incredible Every employee I encountered That’s the highlight A significant oneThe location is decent, good access to BART, convention center Couple of decent food options, within 2-3 blocks But, the neighborhood is a little rough Even having stayed in a lot of large city hotels, this area made me a bit uncomfortableCondition of the hotel is…old Not bad, but everything just seems a little worn out Furniture, elevator, gym, fixtures Reasonably clean, if you didn’t look TOO closeBut…the staff was great

Rob S

good location but sketchy area Please beware of hotel staff I had a couple items left behind and when contacted staff/house keeping ( extremally difficult to do ) I was told only my electric toothbrush was found where my expensive electric shaver which was in the same bag was not ( ! ) I am platinum elite member staying over 3 months a year at Marriott hotels and I have yet to encounter fraudulent staff

I was told by head of house keeping that it is my fault for leaving items behindI guess you can stay here if you don’t leave anything behind? question is should you?I filed a police report and official complained the Marriott International and incident is under review

My experience here was great all the way through Some of the reviews had me a bit apprehensive at first, however, everything was great The front desk agents we’re smart and professional with fun personalities

The room was roomy and very clean Towels, coffee maker, tea, mini fridge ya know, the basics My stay was quiet with no issues from other guess Free breakfast in the morning as per usual with Best Western fresh waffles, sausage, eggs, juices, yogurts, bagels, and a few extras not mentioned Overall it was all good The only downside is my husband needed to set up his computer for work and the ethernet hook up didn’t work well, wifi worked fine though

Tim Huynh

3/2022 – All the employees and staff working there were superb and accommodated to our needs The room were big, spacious and clean Furniture and decor were dated but the bed was very comfy

Water pressure was hot in the shower Daily hot breakfast was very pleasing as they offer a lot from breads, waffle, drinks, eggs, bacon/sausage If you do drive, do yourself a favor and park inside their 🚗 lot Street parking can be very sketchy, be warned SEE PICS

Nils Benson

I have no idea why anyone would choose to stay here but people do I’m here because #southwest airlines messed up our flights today and gave us this voucher I should have slept at the airport instead of coming here

The staff here are very nice There is a inline hockey rink one block away which was interesting to find but otherwise walking, which is my preferred method of locomotion, will yield nothing of interest Not even any food around this area

Had an excellent four night stay here while on a business trip Changed room after one night because I needed a bathroom with a bathtub Check-in and check-out were both smooth

Staff was also friendly Both of the rooms I was in had good views and most things folks would need for this stay – even a microwave, which is rare I can easily recommend this place The location was also excellent to walk to any central Oakland spots

Allen Wickham

Another good Hampton Inn experience, this time in downtown Oakland I love this area, given its proximity to the BART, Oakland Chinatown, to the bay (check out Jack London Square!), and lots of great food Similar large and spacious areas as the Red Bluff hotel and good breakfast choices

In order to ensure you get your ADA room, make sure you call them, since our reservation via a online resource did not communicate the need for a wheelchair room Our initial interaction with the front-desk was not helpful, but the manager was able to switch our room for an excellent ADA room, with a good roll-in shower and a great toilet The only drawback was the shower seat was tilted down, which necessitated getting our backup shower chair

Victor Sanchez

We stayed here to come to see Smokey Robinson at the Paramount Theatre The hotel is all modernized and very clean The staff is very nice and friendly

I also like the fact that the Valet service takes your vehicle to a Private Locked parking lot The tv was bit hard to figure out since the settings did not state the channels and delayed on every change made But overall was great quality The only thing we did not like was the time it took for the water to warm up when you need a shower We will definitely return here next time we come to the Paramount Theatre as it is only down the street

Perfect location if you are travelling through Oakland Literally 3 minutes to the airport We stayed in a Pure Wellness room and the air purification was amazing

You could literally smell the clean Not a fragrance clean, simply clean air Beds amazing and super comfy and crisp yet soft but again super clean Let’s talk staff Top notch bend over backwards to help you the entire time If they were on the elevator before you they stop and push buttons for you Simply all were just treasures Kudos The food at the bistro restaurant was super good We all enjoyed it so much We’ll done Marriott

Forte Art

Wonderful place to stay It’s got a 24-hr gym and an outdoor swimming pool Both indoor and outdoor lounging areas have comfortable furniture

The hotel is fairly secured with access gate People can still climb over the fence (6ft high?) I gave it a 4-star because there wasn’t a full restaurant inside and it’s expensive Fortunately there was lots of restaurants nearby Also the rear entrance door slam shut really loud; they should adjust it Also my room’s bathroom door couldn’t be closed fully; something was wedging it Otherwise, everything was clean and comfortable

Katherine Pacpaco

Location is by the airport so convenient for early or late flights and if you just want to stay by the airport I was upgraded to a PURE wellness room so appreciated the upgrade There’s an air filter and the carpet and furnishings are supposed to be cleaned better than a normal room

I slept fine, bed comfy and air purifier not too loud but no that quiet either Other than that it’s good typical Courtyard room Room was clean and not too noisy being that it’s by the airportBeing that there is increased crime rates in the Bay Area at least the hotel recognized this and I saw a security guard both outside and inside the hotel For a traveler this may be off putting but in my eyes better safe than sorry

I enjoyed my stay, although I only was there to sleep It was okay fot the price, the room was great The greeter for night time check in was absolutely rude, he was an older gentleman

We couldn’t really hear him because he was mumbling, we politely asked if he could repeat and he yelled at us Not okay Wanted to say something but I was too exhausted from being at the hospital with my new bornBreakfast was OK Was very little choicesOther than that beds were comfortable Bathroom was beautiful And it was clean

Bonny Bowen

Very nice place, VERY quiet on the bay side City view will be of the freeway King bay side room was spacious with nice view and a balcony

We were here almost a week, breakfast was a disappointment (biscuit sandwich, made fresh) final day they brought back waffles YEAH! Be aware this is not a nice neighborhood, they charge $15/night parking to pay for a security guard (be glad they do)We would stay here again:knowing we would not go out after darkdon’t leave anything in your carleave the area during the day

Gregory Powell

Update on 6-15-2022 Pool and hot tub are closed by the health department No ETA given for when the pool and hot tube might reopen

This is main reason we chose the hotel This is a very nice hotel and very close to the water Parking Security at night which is a bonusUpdate on 6-17 the pool and hot tub are open, and the hot tub is actually warm
