Top Uptown Oakland Hotel Reviews

Fairmont San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Iconic grand hotel - signature suite was very comfortable although bathroom was a little dated. Cleaning staff was excellent. Hotel dining - in room and Laurel were sub-par. Cirque bar was good for breakfast and drinks but not always open."
