8.0 Very good
Pros:Room and bath tub and lake outside
Cons:More snacks
A
5.7 Fair
Cons:To have a breakfast of any kind would have been nice but since there was no breakfast should have got a partial refund and you should accept credit cards without a chip or at least let the person who booked the room know before they drive 500 miles to get there for your staff to inform me that they could not rent the room to me
A
8.0 Very good
Pros:Clean, spacious, waterfront, transportation amenities
Cons:Hotel needs to keep shoreline free of debri
A
7.7 Good
Pros:I liked the views of the water. The gym was cool. Staff was great. Breakfast was nice. Rooms were spacious. Bathroom was lovely. Parking was easy.
Cons:There was a very weird smell to the rooms. I went into my first room and asked to be moved and then upon entrance into second room on opposite side I realized they all smell lol. Weird we paid more for the best western over the executive suites their sister property but the sister property actually had the pool and hot tub and bar so had to walk over there. Still very close though. Someone had left a jacket in the closet and I guess the maids missed it. Pricey.
A
6.0 Okay
Pros:convenient location to business in Berkeley and Oakland areas and easy on/off I-880 to get to airport. Staff was friendly. Large rooms and baths. Nice amenities.
Cons:Gritty neighborhood that is trying to transition to be more upscale but it is hard to navigate, there's a lot of trash around and in the water. My room's view was of a forlorn half-sunk sailboat and a wall of graffiti.
A
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Location
Cons:Police take over the lobby area. Breakfast could be better organized.
