Oakland 3 Stars Hotels

"the room had a nice view and was very clean but small with only one chair. The heater/Ac was turned off but the ventilation periodically clicked on during the night disturbing my sleep. The breakfast was ok with plenty of room to sit. I didn't realize I had to pay for parking until I checked out. When I mentioned that upon checking out, I was told the form I signed when checking in stated a parking fee. I thought it was to absolve the hotel of liability for damages made to my car. I didn't mind the fee, but would prefer to have known about it. There was no open dining room/bar but there is a very good food court just a block away."

"The front desk clerk at reception really set the (bad) tone for the stay. All the details below, but we felt pretty insulted by staff to the point that we would not recommend this hotel. Rooms are dated but clean. It has a pool facing the water and it is perfectly nice and very, very cold; hot tub is nice too (but it doesn't have jets, fyi). They have happy hour most, if not all, days of the week. Hot breakfast was simple yet filling; breakfast staff were nice and efficient. Short walk by the water to German restaurant Brotzeit Lokal, Zocalo Cafe, and Lumpia Company. Our experience with front desk clerk at Executive Inn & Suites Embarcadero Cove: First he tried to upsell us on a waterfront room, even going as far as saying we could "pay for it" with our deposit. Like, sir, what? I have been offered upgrades before, but this was degrading. Yuck. Then when we got to the room, we noticed our bed was not a king. We have a king at home so we know what size they are supposed to be. We measured it and it was 65 inches wide. A king should be 80 inches wide. So we went down to request the king we paid for, and that same clerk told us that "he didn't know the difference" but that that was a king-sized bed. Bed size is not an opinion; it is standard. So if Executive Inn & Suites Embarcadero Cove charges for a king-sized bed, it should be 80 inches. And if it is not, as it wasn't, then they are cheating their customers."

"All was good, including breakfast. "

"Did not use"

"It was not as advertised online. The grounds were unkept, there was trash on the sidewalks entering the building. The check in girl was friendly. There were sketchy looking vehicles and people in the front parking. It was very quickly obvious that it was not somewhere that we wanted to stay. It did not feel safe or clean. Again, falsely advertised. After checking in, we drove away without even entering the room. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. "

"property was really nice and clean"

"Didn't have breakfast, train left early. They do have laundry facilities available for guests - which was greatly appreciated."
