The hotel is conveniently located surrounded with great restaurants, not much shops around though. Was warned how some Oakland areas would be dangerous, but the hotel's location made us feel safe. Walking distance from Amtrak station & we took it to get to Oakland Stadium to see our team play. Staff were mediocre but won't really complain about them. Overall we truly love the ambiance & location is fantastic!

The staff is awesome and the workout room and equipment well maintained. Earplugs are provided for the train noise. There is no breakfast but there is coffee in the room. I did not have a car but parking seemed to be potentially challenging.

The Hyatt is pinching their pennies with this property. The property needs a lot of love! The staff was attentive and invested in providing good service. But, the physical plant left a lot to be desired.

Pleasantly Surprised
I was worried because I’ve heard how bad Oakland has gotten . We booked the room with balcony overlooking the marina and I would go many times over. There was easy access to restaurants, ice cream and a cool little place called the Fat Lady. My favorite part was sitting on the balcony. We walked to get ice cream after 10 pm and we felt safe in the area and staff were very nice . The hotel is dated but nice, and honestly , the view made you forget about it. I would 100% recommend!

Disappointed
The check in process was fraught with issues and multiple attempts to get my credit card in their system. The hotel advertises a coffee cafe, but it no longer exists. No notice, and it felt deceptive as it shows it is available on their website, internal literature and on the TV info. Pool condition is poor. Pool felt slimy. The valet service is poorly understaffed. I waited over a half and hour to repark my car after my first night. The hotel staff tried, but overall a very disappointing experience. I will not return to this hotel.

Overnight Getaway
The hotel was very clean. No vending machines so that was a bummer. I like to have bottle water close by. The hotel charges $4 for a 16oz that’s in your room but it’s not cold. It may be for the little sad coffee that is “complimentary” but not really if you are being charged for the water. The location is great! So many restaurants at the Jack London square and most importantly, a coffee shop that opens at 6am!

My favorite place to stay in the bay area
My favorite hotel to stay at when I’m in the bay area. Right by the water with beautiful views. Right across from Yoshis live music club. Parking is a bit expensive so cheaper to Uber. Front desk service is always friendly. Rooms are maintained well. Could use a bit of a remodel, but still very comfortable. I hope that the Jack London Square area rebounds after Covid really diminished the area.
