Blakeslee Hotels, Oakland

"Had a wonderful time at this location. Cabin was very clean and well organized for the space. Games aplenty for kids if you have them, activities galore in the surrounding area as well. Location is lakeside, but on a semi-secluded side. There are neighbors of course, but the area was quite quiet when I was there, perfect for a nice relaxing vaca! Hot tub was delightful, right out back on the balcony, secluded from everything but the cabin and lake. I did not try out the sauna, but there is one! While here enjoy nightly fires in the fire-pit out back by the lake, or a cozy fire in the gas stove inside the cabin. There is literally so many good things to say about this place I would need something akin to a short novel to include them all! Hosts were excellent, although I did not interact with them much, they were prompt to answer questions and offer advice about the area as well as the rental."

"Heat worked great. The baja restaurant next door had great food. Its quiet and peaceful. After hours check in went well. No issues. If I'm ever down that way again, I plan on saying there again. "

"Was greeted with a friendly smile and hello when I checked in. She directed me to our rooms. Told us about breakfast that would be available and where the ice machine and laundry was. Found the room in outstanding condition and very clean. Was a pleasant stay and would recommend."

"Excellent breakfast and overall nice hotel "

"Clean room, no smells, the views were AMAZING! Property was well taken care of and staff was helpful."

"We have stayed at the Garrett Inn numerous times over the past ten years. The staff/owners are always very courteous and the rooms are always clean. A very nice and quiet place to stay the night."

"the breakfasr was freshand very good"

"We had an amazing stay in this lovely home. Kate is an excellent host, communication is great from her. The house was clean and stocked with some essentials for cleaning, even a couple of things in the pantry we forgot and thought we would have to do without! The pool, sauna and game room were a hit. Very spacious house, able to have space to yourself if needed or plenty of room to gather and socialize through out. One thing we did learn was no one delivers there, it’s a little bit of drive to get to town but it’s a nice drive. As for the layout, the one living room is sunken so you have a couple of stairs to go down to get into it. To get into the main part of the house there are also steps once you’re inside. If you’re traveling with anyone with mobility issues I recommend someone go in first to get the front door opened for them. Those stairs are much easier to navigate. "

"The ladies that work the front desk are very professional and kind. Breakfast was good. But very dissatisfied that the pool is advertised as heated ( whole reason we picked the hotel) and there was nothing heated about it. The water was as cold as ice. Also to found it very sickening that around the pool area was so dirty that it turned the bottom of your feet black. Then it’s very concerning that there is back mold all around the windows were the AC unit is and it makes you wonder how much black mold is being put into the room because of the AC unit. Really think the hotel could use some improvements especially for the prices that are being asked to stay there "
