My mother is turning 100 years old and we were treated so well. I really appreciate the way everyone treated her and acknowledged her. She is now one of the best of 209 Magazine for Aug/Sept as she had a article about getting on a kayak in SF bay McCovey Cove for a Giants game. We look forward to staying at the Garden Inn in Emeryville again.

Parking was spacious and well lit. Room was clean and presentable. The restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere, and the food and beverages were on par with the tastebuds. Both the fitness center and spa area were clean and tidy. I used both during my stay. I would recommend more washers and dryers on site; the one washer and dryer were always in use. I would recommend this location to anyone.

All around good place to stay. Hotel is well maintained, many onsite amenities including restaurant/bar. Public free transportation via Emerygo system is within very short walking distance; through the parking lot and you're there. Staff was both welcoming and accommodating. I was checked in by Nikki and she has exceptional customer service skills. Beautiful views of the bay, walking trail and boat marina also within walking distance.

Service is great, main entrees are decent but the fries are chef’s kiss.

We booked based on location to where we were going. I think the room was clean and comfortable. It is off a major highway, we tried muffing the sound with the room fan but did not make for a good night sleep. My major issue with the hotel was the $25 parking fee. A total required upsell fee and too steep as the parking is not covered, lit or valet. Just an added fee as they know most customers will need parking.

My wife and I with our children were looking to celebrate our 18th anniversary in San Francisco and visit our cousins that lived on the east side of the bay. They took care of us. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We never heard a no from them. They told me that the manager took care of this or that. All I could do was smile and told my kids that’s why I’m a Hilton Honors member. The room they put us in was over the top and perfect. The city bay view on the 12th was fantastic. If we had more time we would’ve stayed longer. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

If you have to go to the Oakland area and want to feel a bit more safe/comfortable then this is the hotel for you...and me. The entire San Francisco Bay area is in a mess with crime. Be safe, be careful
The room was comfortable, if a bit small for a family of four (adults and teens). Service was positive. Good place as a gateway to SF and East Bay. Nice brunch bar, just a bit pricey. beds & pillows comfy.

The drink menu is "OK", but on Saturday's the kitchen isn't open until "4p". So keep your appetite on wraps until then. Multiple big screens to watch your fav sport.

Pretty nice for a Garden Inn restaurant. They are usually good, but the Garden Grille had a full menu.

Very nice ambiant lighting, outside tables with lovely fires, food was stellar. BLTA was scrumptious (thick smoky bacon)and fries like I've never had b4. Light crunchy coating & I tried the parm ones. Mmmm!Bartender is the waiter (maybe only on weeknights)and did a gr8 job. We were lucky to get our order in b4 a large group came in. ?Gr8 place for a late orlast minute dinner as they are open til 11.Tv's in corners but not loud volume. Can't wait to go again.Vegetarian options: They have a couple options like the veggie bowl. Mix of veggies with a large scoop of rice. generous portionsParking: It is paid hotel parking so you can get validation at the front desk but we forgot to.

Visiting family in Oakland and chose this close by hotel. Staff was helpful and extremely pleasant. Rooms were fresh and updated. Gym was outstanding with excellent equipment. We will be returning here on our next stay. Right on a great running/walking bay path.
Great service at the bar and good sandwich.
