Courtyard By Marriott Oakland Downtown

Overall, I found hotel suitable for my needs. Staff was exceptionally helpful and polite.

Good location, right next to Chinatown, and right down the street from the wedding reception and a decent pub. I slept fine, but my wife says she could hear a threesome getting busy next door. Staff was very friendly and prompt with the car. Still ticked at the hidden 20 dollar/night parking charge.

Stepping into the lobby from the busy street is akin to entering a spa – quiet, spacious, gracious attention, clean, while invoking a feeling of acceptance and protectiveness. The street noise was very muted while in the room. Room size somewhat larger than Courtyard Emeryville.

This hotel is in a very easy to get to part of town. There were lots of restaurants within walking distance.

Not quite the quality as other Marriott Courtyard Hotels, but close. Hotel charge of $20.00 for parking was too high.

This hotel is very clean and functional, perfect for business and families.

Although centrally located and easily accessible to many areas in the bay area, I did not feel comfortable traveling here with my son for a sporting event weekend. Probably much more designed for business and convention center activities.

In the heart of china town, lots of food to choose from and safe to walk around. Good value.

I showed up on a busy weekend and the front desk staff was very nice, they offered me a different kind of room in order to check me in immediately, which was nice. It was an equal room, but I appreciated the opportunity to settle in and avoid leaving my things with the bell desk. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the parking is valet-only and pricey. I parked my car myself because the small area to pull up in front of the hotel was full and was charged $20 (plus a $2 tip) for the privilege. read more

Excellent staff and facilities. Parking is too pricey.
