Oakland Airport Executive Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"VERY dirty flies as soon as you walk in. Outside looks like a crime scene. Not maintained at all. Staff was at least helpful had to move rooms due to room being extremely hot. Elevator worked and mini fridge/ microwave in room worked."

Executive Inn & Suites Embarcadero Cove

8/10 Good

"Our was ok, it’s an older hotel so they do there best to keep things clean. The breakfast isn’t as great to me as other reviews have stated. I don’t do the watery imitation eggs or super processed mystery meat sausage. Coffee and juices are fine. Toast and bagels are great! The other issue is the homeless encampment right outside the back of the hotel were the views of the water are. Nothing against the homeless but the have a better view lol. They were also constantly fighting and their dog was barking all night and morning. Other than that it was a good stay."

Sonesta Emeryville - San Francisco Bay Bridge

4/10 Poor

"Booked a king room and was “upgraded to a double queen.” The upgrade was the fact that it had a view. I wanted a king bed not a queen. The night auditor didn’t explain this to me until after I was checked in and went to my room. He then explained to me that they had no other kings available. If that was the case why was it available for me to book? Next, the A/C was very inefficient. It blows poorly and did not get cold at all. I also expressed this issue to the night auditor and he had an attitude about me telling him. He proceeded to let me know that there were no other rooms available and wanted to send maintenance to my room at 1 in the morning. I was tired and checked in at 12am. It was already late. I will be disputing as this was not a great stay."
