We chose to stay in Downtown Oakland, as our daughter lives in another area of the East Bay, where there are no hotels, so we were able to use the buses to visit her, so had no need to hire a car. We picked Courtyard by Marriott after recommendations on Trip Advisor and found all the positive comments fully justified.... More

The outside of the hotel can be deceiving. It looks run down and crappy - but the staff was nice and the hotel rooms clean and updated.

We ended up staying in Oakland as the hotels in Downtown SFO where either overpriced or fully booked. Great little hotel just a few steps from the BART station. Stayed with my husband and 2 children and the room accommodated all 4 of us beautifully. Great little restaurant for breakfast offering a healthy range of breakfast options. Only downside is... More
