Review of Oakland Marriott City Center, ...

I haven't been to this hotel in over a year and it...

I haven't been to this hotel in over a year and it looks like it's had some work done. The lobby area is nice as were the conference rooms. The rooms were nice as well with just a couple quirks. I had a room with 2 queen beds. It looks like the rooms lost a little square footage in the remodel because the space between the bed and chaise was really narrow. And the thermostat was in a very awkward place. I had to either climb over the bed or shimmy sideways past the chaise to get to it. I went to my meeting as soon as I arrived so I didn't notice the shower curtain had something gross on it until I went to shower this morning. I checked out the menu for the in-house restaurant. It was pretty standard fare. I thought the prices were reasonable considering Oakland is a high cost area (IRS table). They also have a microwave for guests to use. And a mini fridge in all the rooms. The staff were nice and helpful. The reminder about the time change was a very considerate touch. Overall, it was a good experience. I would definitely stay here again.
