The Oakland Marriott is an unusually shaped building in the middle of Oakland's revitalizing downtown area. The triangle offers views of the SF skyline and SF Bay from two sides, while the other side takes in the Oakland Hills.
The hotel is 4-star, modern, clean, and efficent. The rooms are average-sized with firm beds, new looking linens and furnishings, and large windows overlooking the bay or the hills. They include a coffee maker, iron, ironing board, hair dryer, and mini-bar. The bathrooms are large and well appointed with a full range of toiletries. The hotel has a restaurant and offers room service.
The best thing about this hotel is its proximity to BART. You are step away for the 12th St BART station which can take to in 20 minutes to dowtown San Francisco, or in 10 minutes to Berkeley.
