the hotel was excellent from the registration to check. Odette was wonderful made us feel welcome, very professional and attentive. and pleasant. we love our room and my grandchildren love it. the breakfast buffet was to die for. it was more than i expected it was a full breakfast. the hotel was only a block from the warft with make is very convient. it was also nice that the check out was at 12 noon a d parking was cheap and dont expire until 4pm. so after we check out we we're able to go and do a last minute adventure at warft without having to pay extra for parking. we were able to leave the car at the hotel until 4pm.I would definitely stay here again. the little extra mile like check out at 12 and the late parking valid at 4pm after check was amazing. thank you. not every hotel i stay by the warft offer those. i hope come back soon.

Never Again

I stay in this area a lot, and this is by far and away the worst experience I have had. First, it’s LOUD. Like elephants having a dance party above your room loud. And housekeeping starts knocking at 7:30 AM! Second, they tell you breakfast is included - but they manage it in a way that there is a 30+ min line the entire time - so if you don’t have all morning to wait, you won’t get fed. Finally, there is a small refrigerator and a coffee pod system, but zero way to get hot water for tea. If you ask at the front desk, they tell you to wait until breakfast opens (and I’ve already told you how that will go…)

The hotel was extremely noisy. I don’t know if I stayed at a motel or what but it was so noisy, all I heard was kids running around all night. Doors slamming, it was just so loud in there. I had the worst sleep ever. I’ve never stayed at a hotel that charges you to use a microwave. If it isn’t one in the room, it usually is available somewhere in the facility, so that was definitely a bummer for me. I couldn’t even heat up my left overs that I paid $100 for. I booked This for my birthday and it was the worst experience. I’ll stick to my same hotels, Hilton and Marriot.

Have luggage, will travel!

Our check~in at the desk was smooth but there are no luggage carts available for guests. There is one Bell~Person for the whole Hotel that is in charge of the One Luggage Cart available and they were on a break. Upon checking~out, my Charter Bus trip back to Emeryville to catch Amtrak didn't leave until 8:50 pm so the Hotel offers the service to hold your Luggage while one can freely explore the city until departure time. I noticed alot of folks were checking in their Luggage as well. When we returned to pick up our Luggage, we found ourselves waiting with other folks who were also waiting to pick up their Luggage. Finally after about 20 minutes of waiting, an employee came to retrieve everyone's luggage and she apologized for the inconvenience. I gave her the Tip I had set aside for the Bell~Person. Maybe for the future and smoother Transition, have someone to be on standby for the One Bell~Person while they take their break and or hire an extra Bell~Person and Cart. A good flow is important when dealing with a lot of people, especially for the tired and being out of one's element....keep things moving. Thank you and thanks to all the hard working people in this industry!
