Anniversary Celebration!

"I stayed at the hotel for my wedding anniversary weekend. It was fabulous! The service was excellent. I made my reservation on line and made a special request in the comments section.

I received a phone call from the property the morning before my arrival acknowledging my request and letting me know they were looking forward to my arrival! The front desk staff, Victor, Michele, Brittany and Chennel were all very professional and very responsive to every request. Jorge our shuttle driver was a delight! The room was an upgraded renovated room with a bay view. Marvelous!

Breakfast was okay but plentiful and I appreciate that this offering helps make weekend travel more affordable. I will be back and if the service stays at the exceptional level I won't even think of staying elsewhere. I had lots of fun and felt really taken care of at this property. There was obvious renovation going on at the time but it did not detract from the experience at all.

Room Tip: Bay view is beautiful and the bed in the newly renovated room was perfectly comfortable."

Hotel staff made our stay successful!

"We stayed at the Executive Inn for 4 nights, as it was recommended by our friend who was hosting a number of events over an extended weekend. There was a mix-up (or a misstep) upon our arrival - the room we booked was not available even though I had booked it way in advance, given a deposit, reconfirmed the night before, and alerted them that we'd be arriving from the airport late.

There was no indication that we wouldn't be getting the Deluxe King Waterview room. In any case, the staff remained professional and did everything they could to get us to the correct room the next day. (The other King room they gave us for the first night was still water view but it was smaller and didn't have a solid wall between the bedroom and bathroom vanity area - not ideal.)

After that minor glitch, our stay went very well. All the staff, including manager Miguel T and various other employees, were welcoming, very accommodating and gracious. (By the way, when we called down to the front desk to get the internet code that first night, personnel who answered the phone seemed to know about our situation and apologized again, assuring us that things would be taken care of first thing when the manager arrived. Nice touch.) I'd read TA reviews about the staff and I was very glad that those glowing reviews were true!

Since the property is in the middle of renovations, I do hope they consider upgrading their so-called gym. It was a very small room with a treadmill, I think a bike, and multi-purpose machine. I couldn't imagine trying to work out with another person in the room - it was just too small with limited equipment and would get stuffy quickly.

Otherwise, the hotel was a good choice due to its courteous staff, fine breakfast, free Internet, and pretty water view. I would stay here again when I'm next in the area."

Enjoyed our stay

"The room was exceptionally large, quite, clean and accommodating and had great amenities. It was a Fabulous Getaway with a view of the water and a terrace and very convenient to restaurants and nightlife at Jack London Square. Excellent staff as well.

The staff was very helpful and went above and beyond to comply with all of our requests. Their shuttle drove us to and from local restaurants and night clubs. Their complimentary breakfast buffet was wonderful. We extended our stay another night but wished we could have stayed longer."
