I guess my stay at the Marriott Oakland City Center turned sour when it took me 1.5 hours to get from waiting in line to parking the car. The lobby and everything seemed nice, but there was a mix-up with getting checked in and then problems with getting into the parking garage (many different sets of instructions, none of which...

I like this hotel more than I have liked other Mariott's that I have stayed at, and it is definitely a cut above the rest in the area. The bed was extremely comfortable - so comfortable we looked at the tag because we wanted to get one like it! The only downside is as it is a Mariott there are... More

Accommodations were the standard Marriott experience. Nice linens and bathroom amenities. The TV channel selection was poor, no viacom channels. Wi-Fi was free in the lobby but not in the rooms. Close to the BART station which was a plus.

Stayed here over Memorial Weekend! The hotel was a great choice. The accommodations were great and the staff was wonderful! Enjoyed the breakfast buffet every morning! The hotel is convenient and staff! I highly recommend this hotel if you are visiting the area.

I stay in this hotel regularly for business and find it to be one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in -- comfortable, extremely friendly staff and the atmosphere is such that it does not have the anonymity of a chain hotel, yet it has all the amenities of one!

We stayed one night and had a great experience. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the room was nicely appointed, and the view was beautiful. We stayed on the 18th floor and just watched from the window most of the time we were in the room. The light-blocking draperies were a nice touch and we slept well. The room service... More

We chose this hotel because of the reasonable price and the location, which has convenient access to the freeway and is less than a mile from dining and nightlife options in Jack London Square. I'd recommend this spot if, like us, most of your travel is on the Oakland/Berkley/Napa side of the Bay -- but even if you plan to... More

There are certain brands that deliver on their reputation, Marriot usually does and the Oakland City Center can be counted as one of them. Staff was friendly and helpful, the check-in experience was painless and efficient. The front desk person even pointed out a few things that I would have missed, such as the complimentary lounge/dining that was included with... More

Stayed here for 2 nights for the Bay to Breakers race this year. Usually stay at the Courtyard Marriott down the street but they were fully booked. Like this Marriott better than the Courtyard although they don't have free wifi. I just do not understand why a nice middle level hotel still charges guests for wifi in their rooms when... More
