The front desk set us up in a ground floor waterside room that was perfect for our stay since we had an old dog with us -- quick access to the grassy lawn and walking path was ideal. Also one of us ended up spending a lot of time in the room... view of the harbor was so relaxing - perfect for looking out for the others in the group who chose to go kayaking from nearby Brooklyn Basin.

Would have been ideal if the pool and/or hot tub spa were open. Weather was so nice...

The staff was nice and accommodating, breakfasts/happy hour were good and had different selection of foods each day, view was nice, centrally located to where we needed to be. It was great for our large group (baseball team).

Bathroom smelled slightly of cigarette smoke. Cost was a little higher than value but it was a busy time due to baseball tournaments.

The hotel was situated in a nice area of Oakland. The staff were friendly and sociable the whole visit. The checkout process was quick and easy.

I didn’t like that it rained pretty much the whole time during our visit. Other than that the facility was good, breakfast was served, the staff were approachable and friendly.

great location on the waterfront; clean & updated property - gorgeous back patio with comfortable seating and pretty fire pits (a lot of seating areas so you wouldn’t have to wait a turn) and nice options inside too if it’s too cold; easy check-in; friendly staff.

the bed mattress was a bit “bouncy” but otherwise clean and comfortable

My husband and I will stay again when we visit Oakland.

We enjoyed the suite, silence, staff were friendly, breakfast was nice and parking was a bit to much. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

great location, nice staff, good price

property getting run down. water side units far superior to highway side.

My partner was recovering from surgery and needed a first-floor handicap-equipped room. The studio suite was perfect. The sofa pulled out very easily to allow the option of an extra bed. The bathroom was spacious and set up well for someone using a wheelchair, walker, or crutches. The kitchenette allowed us to eat simple meals without the difficulty of going out to eat. We appreciated the staff very much. They were responsive, professional, and supportive. The location was great as we could simply walk outside to nearby benches and flat walking paths right along the shore.

Lounge area on waterfront was pleasant, especially with outdoor fire burning.

I have stayed at other Homewood Suites down in Southern CA, the Oakland facility should not be considered a Homewood Suite property. Tue rooms are not suites, they are outdated. No kitchen or sitting area in room. This just a purchased hotel with the label slapped on for recognition.

Right on waterfront, lovely morning walk by boats. Nice seating outside with fire pits. Also Lovely to sit outside with morning coffee or breakfast.

The staff was very friendly, informative and willing to answer questions. The staff was exceptional.

There isn't anything I can think of to improve
