Absolutely Amazing sorry to be leaving!
"What else can a hotel do for you. From the moment we arrived at the Airport we where collected by the free shuttle service, which doesn't just do shuttle runs and taken to the Hotel.
During the 10 minute drive to the hotel it was like having our own tour guide the lady asked us our plans and what places we where going to visit. With this information she then told us what we needed to do when we needed to do it an where we needed to be.
Once we arrived at the hotel the same lady then handed us over to the front desk who couldn't help us enough. We were given timetables for the ferry from Oakland to Pier 41 and given a time that the free shuttle would take us.
The room was a double queen with everything we needed as a family of 4, a fridge , microwave and the TV, not that we used it during our visit.
The amenities at the Hotel matched the test of the review, outstanding. A small menu in the bar for hot food and a small shop just behind the reception, which didn't rip you off.
Everything works in this hotel from the complementary breakfast to the free shuttle saving us a small fortune in taxi fairs.
Lastly the staff, these guys are so helpful, kind and the willingness to help leave other hotels we have stayed at miles behind.
Thank you all at the Executive Inn and Suites. We are already planning our return trip next year."
Very Satisfied
"We stayed at the hotel multiple times during January - February of this year due to the unexpected illness and hospitalization of my mother, at a nearby hospital.
I would like to compliment the General Manager on the wonderful staff you have. My mother passed away in February, but I will always remember the compassion and heartfelt concern your staff showed at a very difficult time in our lives, especially Mardy and Doris. They both exemplified the true meaning of customer service. Being from out of town, we stayed multiple times over a two week period and the accommodations and service were always excellent!
Definitely will stay there again. Absolutely enjoyed my stay in this beautiful waterfront hotel.
Comfortable room, friendly staff, great shuttle service and much more. Especially loved Mardy, who is kind, helpful, professional and friendly. Definitely will stay there again if I go back to Oakland!!"
Great Place to Stay!
"My husband and I stayed here many of times when we first started dating. This was my first time here since renovation. The hotel looks really beautiful. I love the décor in the rooms and lobby. the only thing I was not happy about was the shower head. No good pressure at all."
