10/10 Excellent
"Nice location on the water, tucked away for privacy."

Courtyard by Marriott Oakland Airport

Courtyard by Marriott Oakland Airport

8/10 Good
"The hotel and room were nice overall and the location to the Oakland Coliseum was great for my stay. My only complaint was that the room-type I booked was not available upon my arrival. I booked a King room with a balcony and was told there were none available even though I checked in right at Check-In time with no option for my room-type to become available. Instead, I was given a room with 2 beds and no balcony. I know it was a busy weekend, but if guests pay for certain room amenities, they should get what they paid for."

"Staff was friendly...rooms clean the only thing is that the breakfast time should be until 10am at least, because by the time you get up its 9am and it over."

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

8/10 Good
"Clean room. Good facilities. Location is fine for local transport. Only one close restaurant which is ok. Breakfast very good Didn’t use the pool as jucuzzi not working. The outlook was disappointing as the image of the room shows boats in the marina. This marina is now empty and a bit of an eyesore. Our room wasn’t cleaned one day and we don’t know why"
