Courtyard by Marriott Oakland Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place to stay. We were very happy. Only issue was the refrigerator. It had a button to push to turn it on and it kept it on for 2 hours and then it stopped. Lost the food we put in it, but still a great place to 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."

Aloft by Marriott Dublin-Pleasanton

6/10 Okay

"Rooms were clean. Staff were professional and helpful. Very friendly. We enjoyed the pool table, gym, and pool using our visit. Our biggest issue was that the layout of the room is strange - there’s sink/bathroom area is separated by a thin transparent “wall” that is open at both the top and the bottom. There’s a sliding door to the bathroom, with a separate area for sink (great), but the lights for the bathroom are connected, so if you are sharing a room with your family, if you turn on the bathroom light, it essentially lights up the whole room. Not great for needing to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Shower door is strange (protruding handle on both the inside and outside of the door: I hit my elbow/arm on the handle multiple times. Our room also had warped flooring due to water damage from the layout of the shower door. Toilet flush handle came disconnected several times (we could fix it ourselves)."
