Meh. This hotel is centrally located within downtown Oakland and although it's hard to expect much from any hotel nowadays, I still love most Marriotts I visit. The front desk at this hotel stands out compared to the rest of it, although it still feels slightly run down or under attack so-to-speak.

The room itself was a decent hotel room. Clean and no complaints, although they did hide the ice bucket in a cabinet so I ended up filling a trashcan with ice for cooling my champagne. I'm classy, I know. The best thing about the room was that it faced West so my window view was directly facing San Francisco. I could see both bridges and it was a beautiful clear day.

I didn't get a chance to check out the restaurant within the hotel but something tells me I wasn't missing much. Would I stay here again?... Sure, but if I had a choice I'd probably try somewhere else.
