This property interior is quite dated for a hilton, but also clean. The bed was comfortable, and it was quiet at night. I think its priced appropriately for what it was though. The hotel charges extraordinary fees for parking (40$/night) and the lot seems to always be pretty empty as a result. Not sure why they want to discourage people from driving here. Alternative public transit options are slim since the ferry closed. The closest walking bridge over the highway into berkley is also currently closed, so you end up kind of trapped in the marina area if you dont pay to park your car in their lot. It was difficult/expensive to get to restuarants or grocery as a results, and unfortunately the hotel seems to know that and charges prices for food and water ($12 for 1L) that would make a disneyworld exec blush. The setting is however quite scenic (sailboats!) and feels very safe, and the staff are quite pleasant/friendly. There are also nice walking paths around the marina that are wonderful for watching sunset/sunrise. I rate it 3/5 (i.e. average/acceptable) - the hotel itself was fine. Challenges getting off the peninsula were a drag on my experience. Its actually a pretty nice place to be stuck if you like walking around and looking at sailboats though.

Courtyard marriott is my favorite hotel in oakland staff is so nice always smile super sweet. Hotel is clean rooms are clean no funky smells beds are comfy no noise its just a nice hotel all the way around i love this hotel there deposit is only 50$ and you get it back when you check out absolutely amazing and the surrounding area is not too bad either i recommend

Maria at the front desk and the rest of the front desk staff was amazing. The housekeeper was great also. Sheets and towels smelled fresh which I truly appreciated and enjoyed. We were there for 3 nights. The thing I didn't like was there is no shower door so water gets all over the bathroom floor. There is no door to the closet, The breakfast is below standard based on Embassy Suite. My water front view had a tree right in the middle of it. Do not line that we had to pay for parking, but establishment states they are not responsible if car is damaged or items are stolen. If charging for parking they should be responsible for the car on their property. I normally go to the Hyatt House when visiting Oakland, but wanted to be closer to my Mom's house. Although the good things kinda outweighed the bad things I will not stay at the Executive Inn and Suites again because used to more amenities. However, this is just me, everyone needs to judge for themselves because it wasn't as bad as I thought, but just not what I am accustomed to.
