"Your staff, was incredibly supportive and went above and beyond all of my expectations. I also wanted to give specific thanks to Bradley who ensured the front desk supported all of our needs. Without Bradley and your team of professionals our San Francisco Fleet Week mission would not have been possible.
Due to your team's efforts we were able to provide critical force protection for the $17 billion Aircraft Carrier, USS CARL VINSON while she was anchored in the San Francisco Bay. We have received multiple accolades for our flawless execution and I wanted to pass that on your team, the people that were instrumental in making this operation so successful.
Thanks again for taking care of us. I look forward to using your establishment during all of our future missions and training!"
"We've stayed at this hotel by the water for a number of years. It seems to be getting better. Good quality, terrific value for its location and amenities. Lovely setting. Comes with breakfast and free newspaper with in-room coffee. Solid mattress. Large comfortable lobby. Really - you can't beat this place. Oh! And airport pick up, no less!"
"Some months ago I met with your Director of Sales, Michael Weber, CMP to discuss accommodations for a forthcoming reunion - the Class of 1955 from Alameda High School. Michael could not have been more helpful, and as a result many of our classmates stayed at the Inn this past weekend.
When I mentioned to Michael that we would like an area for a gathering of classmates the night before the reunion, which was held at Scott's at Jack London Square on Saturday, he suggested using the lounge area for no-host cocktails and that 'Howie' would be our bartender. This worked perfectly, and Howie was an incredible bartender and did an excellent job and was very personable with the guests.
On behalf of the Alameda High 55th Reunion Committee, I want to thank you and every one of your staff who helped make this weekend such a great success. It was greatly appreciated."
