Hotels near Lincoln University, Oakland

I’m a local, but it’s so nice to getaway for a quick staycation and Hyatt Place Emeryville is perfect. It’s close to shopping, restaurants and the movies and the staff are delightful and accommodating.

Near the Berkeley Marina, the entire hotel complex is very large. The rooms are large enough, clean and tidy. There are ice machines and drink machines on each floor. The surrounding environment is excellent. Sunrise and sunset, walk on the seaside, enjoy! It is not recommended to include breakfast. I feel that the breakfast coupon is an inducement for guests to spend money. They also have to pay tax and tips. It is really not cheap. Of course, the restaurant environment is still very good, except for the enjoyment type.

The lobby and rooms are very nice but the staff is amazing!! So kind. So helpful. Specifically Raymar and “Panama” and the ladies in the bar and grill. The surrounding area is sketchy but the Tower is safe and there is security

Breakfast is good. In order to see the Warriors' game live here, I like the shuttle bus service. Because of the law and order in Auckland, it is quite late to watch the game. It is just that the hotel can pick up and drop off to watch the game and call to wait a few minutes to get there. If a person comes to the game, recommend this hotel.

We spent 4 days in Oakhurst as a base to visit Yosemite, it will take you 30 minutes to the entrance of Yosemite park and an additional hour to the valley. The hotel is new, the fitness room is small but there is everything you need for a workout, pool is nice even we had to ask for pool towels every time we took the kids swimming. Breakfast is good, even if they limit the amount of food you can eat ( on some breakfast items it’s clearly stated ‘one per guest’). Rooms are nice, even if we could hear everything our neighbours were saying or watching on tv. My biggest problem with this hotel is the staff! They are the most unwelcoming hotel staff I have ever met. If you walked into reception they won’t even acknowledge you, when you ask for something it seems like you are bothering them. I just didn’t like their attitude, unprofessional and rude. We asked to get our room serviced everyday, they didn’t clean it until our last day ( even if I reminded them every day)and when they cleaned it, they only gave us some fresh towels ( it’s the only hotel in the world that won’t make Your bed if your pjs are in the bed!).

Overall good, great value for money. There is no breakfast (additional charge), and parking is subject to an additional charge. Maybe the Chinese are not very used, others are ok. The transportation is also convenient.

We chose this hotel because of the location for getting to the trolley, a Hop-on Hop-off tour stop, the local bus system, and the nearby BART system. For this it did not disappoint. The price is reasonable, and the hotel was very clean, and the staff was very friendly. From this, I digress. The noise level during the nights, was that a very loud level. All from external. Sirens, music, loud cars and trucks going by, garbage trucks in the middle of the night, quite a bit of yelling, and the like. Normal ear plugs did not help. If you stay here, you will need some heavy duty ear plugs. We get up earlier and the hotel lobby coffee was not ready ever before 7:00 a.m. there is coffee in the room, however if you need real creamer, you'll be out of luck until 7:00 approximately. Not a terrible review, just want people to be aware.

I stayed 3 nights in a female room, beds in a capsule style, a spacious and quiet room, a big locker, and it covered my bag, common bag and jacket. In every floor they have a lounge with TV, microwave, freezer, coffee and tea. The location is excellent, close to the market, public transport and tourist points at 20 minutes walk. I love and recommend!

I had planned to stay at a local hotel to beat the heat and enjoy the weekend by the Marina, which I have spent many good times at as I grew up in the Bay Area and even remember my mother speaking fondly about staying at the Marina hotel from time to time. While all of the guest and amenities were great, it was unfortunately overshadowed by an overwhelming rude woman at the front desk who wears glasses. I had recently been victim to a rental scam and was awaiting a new credit card, the woman refused to take any of my cash funds nearly $500 as a deposit while the room itself only cost a little over $100 for the night, in addition to this as opposed to letting my mother who has trouble walking pay with her card over phone, I had to drive to my mother's home transport her to the hotel to pay in person with an ID then return her to her home. My mother nor I received an apology, any offers of compensation, or courtesy. I can understand having a policy of needing to put a credit card on file, but I could not imagine that all guests were treated this way, is so I don't any of the room would be reserved ever. While I have stayed at many hotels in my life, I have never been treated so rudely and with such disrespect, disregard, and what I potentially believe was racism. While the hotel is great in so many ways, and nearly everything else is wonderful, I will never again stay at a place with such abhorrent customer service.

We loved everything about our stay. Starting with the warm greeting, the fabulous service, the amazing accommodations and the incredible views. We can’t wait to come back for another visit. If you need to recharge your batteries I highly recommend this location.
