Front staff friendly & professional. Excellent proximity to Bart station & Chinese restaurants. Short distance to FedEx /Kinko's for business svcs. Rooms modern, clean & accommodating, I.e., free internet, workout facility, outdoor pool, indoor jacuzzi. It is downtown so use common sense when out, particularly at night; definitely recommend.

Positives: Free Internet, affordable for level of hotel. Convenient location.

Negatives: No rm service avail.

Negatives: Parking was expensive.

<BR/>The Oakland Marriott is run by greedy, non-helpful, back wards, underhanded, shifty, shady, non-concerned, idiots. I wouldn't stay here if you paid me.

Positives: It looked nice from the outside.

Negatives: The staff is rude.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 25 May 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

I would stay here again because the bed was very comfortable, the room clean, the staff was helpful and friendly.

Positives: Clean and comfortable room; very nice location, right in the center on Chinatown and Downtown Oakland.

Negatives: The sofa bed was small; parking was expensive although valet service was convenient and safer than parking elsewhere.

Staff was great and the car was secure in their lot. The room was very nice, and we wished we could have stayed longer. Staff suggested a great late night place to eat.

Positives: Very nice hotel, it was good quality for our price.

Negatives: My partner did not like paying for parking, but in the city I can see why that was important. It was very safe.

Great, comfortable, great service, easy access to local life, and lots of perks!

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 12 Dec 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

Staff accommodating and friendly. They greeted us warmly every time we entered or exited the hotel. The housekeeper for our room took it upon herself to put a frig in our room when she observed that we had milk in our ice bucket, unusual, and welcome service!

Positives: The staff was friendly and helpful. BART station was very nearby.

Negatives: No airport transportation.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 23 Sep 2010 rated 7 out of 10.

The hotel was okay. The location is not very desirable. Parking is too much although the parking staff was quick at getting the car. The hotel does not provide sufficient toiletries. The breakfast buffet was tasty. I didn't have much interaction with the staff, but they seemed friendly and polite.

Positives: Bed was comfortable.

Negatives: Location and cost of parking.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 14 Sep 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 13 Feb 2010 rated 6 out of 10.

It was what I expected for the price but not what I expected from a Marriott.

Positives: The Price.

Great idea to have a 24 hour market for eatable food.

Negatives: Nothing.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 20 Jan 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

Staff was wonderful &amp; accomodating, bed was less comfortable than I'm used to at a Marriott. Would recommend for business travelers not a romantic weekend.

Positives: Location, excellent staff, quiet room with a Broadway view.

Negatives: Would describe as 2.5 star not 3 star.

Nice room, convenient for Downtown Oakland.

Negatives: $20 per night additional parking fee.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 23 Sep 2009 rated 9 out of 10.

I was surprised when the desk person told me that we would not be allowed to have the complimentary breakfast. The parking constitutes a small part of their business expense, but make a solid impression on the customer. I will not visit this hotel again.

Positives: Clean room, excellent bed.

Negatives: Had to pay $20 to park my car in hotel lot.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 02 Sep 2009 rated 4 out of 10.

It was okay

Negatives: the room furniture

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 16 Aug 2009 rated 2 out of 10.

This Marriot Courtyard was not up to par like others that we have stayed in. Oakland is a very scary city and we were hoping to get a hotel near the airport. I did not have an area option for Oakland. I realize I took a chance. We were frightened by the noise and we never got a the wake up call we requested. We realize that the hotel tried to keep the characters out.

Positives: Price.

Negatives: Location.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 11 Aug 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

This hotel is located in downtown, Friends and I were visiting from out of town, it was conveniently located to Bart, Jack London Square, there is a Smart and Final directly across the street which was nice. Chinatown was right there, everything was cool. I did look for a grocery store, Target and there was none to be found, but I guess that is typical for downtown locations. I will stay there again!

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Parking was $20. That is a bit much, but for the nightly rate that I got, I will not complaint too much!

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 30 Apr 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

The breakfast buffet was excellent. The beds were nice. The lobby areas were open, airy and exceptionally clean.

Positives: They served a full breakfast buffet with eggs cooked to order.

Negatives: Pay for parking.

Overall the hotel<BR/>was good, but valet<BR/>was expensive and neighborhood<BR/>was kind of busy.

Positives: It

Negatives: The valet

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 14 Apr 2009 rated 6 out of 10.

This is a very beautiful hotel. The indoor spa was very nice. Although, the beds were hard, and the breakfast buffet was overpriced for the quality.

Positives: The staff was very friendly.

Negatives: The beds were very hard. $20 for parking, and the food was overpriced.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 06 Apr 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

It was nice but I really don't think that a person should have to pay to park their car.

Positives: Staff was nice.

Negatives: No validation for parking garage, expensive to park car.
