Convenient to Oakland airport, would recommend to business travelers, but not for family's.

Great location next to the Oakland Airport. For a 3 star hotel, I was disappointed by how old it felt. They still had CRT TV's, the bathtub was odd, like you were standing to tall, but it was really short, and it just felt like a normal 2 star hotel.

Positives: Great price for same day through Priceline.

Negatives: For a Hilton it certainly was subpar.

Okay for business travelers. Expect to pay for $ for wired internet access from your room and for parking. Rooms don't have a fridge!

Positives: Friendly staff, good location.

Negatives: Parking and internet access in the guest rooms is very expensive; no fridge in the room.

Acceptable for a single night stay after a long flight. Not a destination for longer stays. Room was clean enough. Bathroom was really small and extremely dated.

Positives: Easy access from Oakland International.

Negatives: Fee for parking.

Our soul purpose in staying at this hotel was to be close to the Oakland airport. We arrived in the early evening and did not have time to take advantage of the amenities, but thought that our room was attractively decorated and recently refurbished.

Positives: Proximity to airport.

Negatives: Charged for internet in room.

As far as Hilton Oakland Airport goes, it's a misrepresentation for them to be considered a 3-star hotel. I will never pick Oakland as a region again for fear that I will be stuck with the Hilton Oakland Airport property. There is no free Wi-Fi anywhere on the premises.I was so not happy about having to pay $30 more a night as an upsell that I went to the lobby and asked for the manager on duty. She really listened to my concerns and comped me the $30 extra per night. I was completely satisfied with this arrangement.

Positives: I can't think of anything.

Negatives: Parking fee, no mini fridge, no microwave, no free Wi-Fi in room, rooms not upgraded, complex is poorly laid out.

Positives: Bedding.

Negatives: Extra fees for parking and wireless - add an addtional approx $23 to cost.

Excellent location for access to Oakland Airport, the Oakland Colosseum and the downtown area. There were many family friendly activities at the hotel that would help entertain teenage offspring. The food at the restaurant was exceptional, the staff of the entire operation very professional and friendly.

Positives: Very convenient for business and travel with a great staff.

Negatives: Sheet had old dried spot on it.

Positives: The rooms have a lot of space and the bed was very comfortable.

Negatives: There was no Wi-Fi in the rooms, and parking cost too much.

The view was great and actually every thing else the rooms were exceptional but if your expecting a great room with 4 star amenities you will be let down.

Positives: The views and spa were great.

Negatives: Did not like the 24 dollar parking charge or the $24 mandatory spa fee even if you don't use it.

Staff was pleasant and very convenient airport access, did not care for layout of hotel, multiple buildings farther from main lobby. Surprised about the charge for parking.

Positives: Close to internet.

Negatives: Parking charge, no wireless.

The hotel is one mile from the Oakland airport car rental so it is a convenient location for the business travelers. The hotel charges $9.75 for self-parking which seems excessive considering there were plenty of parking spaces available. We had the breakfast buffet at the hotel. The food was ok but not worth $14.95. For the price, I thought it was a decent value but not great.

Positives: Convenient location near the airport.

Negatives: Hotel charges $9.75 for parking.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 02 Sep 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

Clean, friendly and easy access to and fro.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 25 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

Hotel was located in close proximity to airport. It made access easy. The rooms are clean and neat.

Positives: Hilton brands are good hotels.

Negatives: It was geared for business travel.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 24 Aug 2008 rated 4 out of 10.

I do not recommend this hotel. It is only close to the airport, nothing else. The hotel charges for every extra service that most hotels provide free like parking, internet access, business services, continental breakfast, etc.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Pay for parking, pay for internet, pay for everything!

First, location. It's very close to the Oakland Airport, which is good if you're just in town for business but bad if you want to see the area. It was too small. We couldn't get an upgrade or even get them to give us a rollaway bed. There's only an Ethernet connection in the room, they want $13 a day for internet access and they will charge you an additional $13 a day for a second computer. That's totally unacceptable. I sent a strongly worded letter to hotel management (local and national) and never got a reply. That's also totally unacceptable. Other things: the hotel is a series of separate dorm like buildings. You need a key card to access everything, which is fine, except three of our key cards failed. The elevator in our building was broken for most of a day. I had to call in to tell them about it. Room service dishes were left in the hallway for at least 24 hours. I asked several times about shuttles to and from the Oakland Airport car rental service. I was given different info each time. I ended up stranded there for more than 30 minutes -- I had to call in and scream at them to get them to send a van to pick me up off their usual schedule (the bell captain gave me the wrong times for the shuttle). I got a tepid apology at best. This is a three star hotel? I don't think so.

Positives: Staff was uniformly friendly.

Negatives: Charges extra, things were broken.
