Hotels in Oakland

The Sunday buffet at the Meritage was very good. The lap swimming in the pools and 3 free hours of childcare included in the resort fee was also very nice and an unexpected bonus. Ridiculously overpriced for what it was. $26 resort fee and $30 valet fee on top of over $200/night for a tiny old room that wouldn't even pass muster at a Best Western? The room was awful - outdated, small, old, musty and generally uncomfortable. Noisy from the hallway, the bed was saggy, the comforter stained and 2 adults plus a baby in a crib were way too many to fit in a tiny standard room.

Nice pool, spa and exercise facilities. My kids had a blast at the pool - it was nicely heated and they enjoyed it despite the cooler February weather. Our room was below one of the hotel's restaurants. 6am on a sunday morning and isn't a great time to be woken up to the sounds of tables and chairs being moved. It's an old hotel so it's pretty loud. When I checked out they gave me a bit of a discount and said that when we checked in that the front desk should have warned us that our room was loud... they really just shouldn't rent out the rooms or if they do charge less.... but they'd rather put guests in a position where they have to complain to get a discount. Even with the discount if was an expensive weekend that wasn't as restful as you'd expect for the money.

Ein schönes Hotel! Guter Ausgangspunkt für San Francisco. Mit der bart oder der Fähre ist man in einer halben Stunde in der Stadt. Kostenloser (abgesehen vom Tip für den Fahrer) Shuttleservice zur bart oder Fähre. Die Suiten sind groß und sauber! Es gibt ein kleines Frühstück wie es in den usa üblich ist. Kaffee, Bagles, süßes Gebäck, Cerealien, Saftg und Milch. Am späten Nachmittag gibt es dann noch einen kostenlosen Snack. Verschiedene Käsesorten und ein Glas Wein. Täglich eine kostenlose Tageszeitung (usa Today oder sfo Chronicle) vor der Zimmertür gibt es ebenfalls. Das Hotelpersonal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Alles in Allem würde ich dieses Hotel jederzeit wieder Buchen. Direkt am Nimitz Freeway gelegen sollte man bei der Buchung darauf achten, ein Zimmer nach hinten raus zu buchen. Sonst ist es zu laut.
