Craftsman homes and Tudor Revivals create a area that feels genuinely local rather than tourist-focused.

AC Hotel by Marriott Oakland Downtown

8/10 Good
"everything good EXCEPT: final bill emailed to me was inaccurate. No email given to address it, only a phone number. THEY HAVE NO BUSINESS OFFICE and front desk staff are expected to deal with billing issues. It took two phone calls, one with a 13 minute hold time. Front desk person worked hard to generate a correct bill (it took two attempts). When finished, I asked to speak with the manager who was pretty clueless and unhelpful. The whole issue is that I had a $4.54 incidental charge that did not appear on my original bill. I just wanted the full and correct charges on my bill. I DO NOT TRUST THEIR INTERNAL SYSTEMS and I DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH MY CREDIT CARD INFORMATION."

"Location is a block from the 12th Street BART Oakland Station so easy access (two stops) to San Francisco & back. Hotel is showing its age, the WiFi is horribly slow but rooms are renovated plus the water pressure in the shower is divine! Great alternative to the expensive accommodations in SF. Downtown Oakland is right outside this hotel, there’s coffee shops & restaurants within 2 blocks all around plus you have Oakland Chinatown & it’s many eateries, markets & bakeries a block away!"
