Sonesta Hotel in Oakland from NZ$252

"Good clean hotel and in a good area. Six dollars for a cup of coffee and thirty five dollars to park are a little steep but the room rate itself was decent. Would definitely stay again in future."

"Property is changing management. No liquor available "

"Staff gave me wrong room, which occupied by other guest. No breakfast available. Room was dirty with shady curtains..do not accept any more customers "

"Loved staying here very clean and helpful staff"

"Please do not stay here. Not only is the management terrible, but the rooms are filthy, musty, and poorly maintained. I even had to switch rooms during my stay. We originally stayed at the La Quinta in Galt because my daughter, who is a photographer, had events around San Francisco. We decided to move to Oakland thinking it would be closer and more convenient. Looking back, leaving Galt was a huge mistake. The La Quinta in Galt was gorgeous, clean, and had an amazing staff. This location was the complete opposite. When I checked in, my state ID was expired. I understand policies are policies, but I have never had an issue using it before — I even flew to NYC with it. I asked if they could simply change the reservation to my daughter’s name since she was also staying with me, but the staff refused. The supervisor was rude, dismissive, and completely unhelpful. At 1 a.m., exhausted and overwhelmed, I ended up on the phone with Hotels.com in tears trying to fix the situation. Having worked for Marriott in my 20s, I was honestly shocked by the lack of customer service and compassion. After more than an hour, Hotels.com finally spoke with the hotel manager, who agreed to cancel and rebook the reservation under my daughter’s name. Unfortunately, the problems didn’t stop there. The hotel smelled strongly of smoke, the room was dirty, and the curtains were literally shredded. Please save yourself the stress and spend your money somewhere else."

"Train station behind hotel convenient, and breakfast was yummy. The quakers were there to confirm the quality of the oatmeal they sold the hotel."

"Great stay at the Shattuck. Rooms were clean, staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect for a walk to the Berkeley campus. Great food options near by! We will definitely be back."

"Great stay, perfect location clean rooms wonderful city view. Patio area was cute and peaceful Great for families. "

"I disagree with other reviewers regarding the breakfast. We found it really well stocked and very fresh. Staff was attentive and helpful. The menu included: scrambled eggs, cheese omelette, link and patty sausages, bacon, waffles, home fried potatoes, pastries, English muffins, croissants, hot and cold cereal, hard boiled eggs, watermelon, pineapple, cantaloupe, grapes, coffee, tea, juice, milk and more!"
