I chose this place based on AAA's listing ,( RE: PRICE), and Google's mapping of nearby locations of eateries. Upon arrival I disovered the the Clarion Hotel and it's neighboring Chinese restaurant were closed and up for sale, leaving a Denny's, McDonnald's, Burger King, Jack in the Box, Red Lion Hotel, In and Out Burger, Panda Express, Wing Stop, and the "sports bar" at the Holiday Inn as the local food choices. Eliminating the places I can get in TLH, leaves the Jack, In and Out, the Lion and the Holiday Inn. Having eating at the Jack in Sacremento ( and thinking it was OVER seasoned), I tried the Lion, (over priced), the In and Out ,( lose the sauce), and the Holiday Inn which had an affordable Happy Hour menu and decent beer.
ANYWAY, back to the hotel,it is REALLY convient to the Oakland Airport ( but I don't fly), and I-880 . The rooms are compact but not Microtellish. It is clean and well maintained. (You may considered the furnature dated but I didn't). The staff is friendly and the breakfast is more than adequate for me. ( Though I PREFER the USA Today over the Wall Street Journal , since I don't love NYC). All in all I have spent more money elsewhere and have recieved less.

We landed at Oakland late and decided to stay at a value, airport hotel. We usually stay at upscale hotels and were a little nervous. Chose this one based on reviews and glad we did. With our two kids, two beds perfect, and very comfortable. Quiet and clean. Microwave, mini fridge, and free hot and cold breakfast. Make your own waffles were yummy! All for a very reasonable price.

I left my "make up bag" at home, that is what my wife called it, i call it shaveing kit for men, the lady at the front desk over heard me and supplied me with everything i needed, comb, tooth brush and so on, her name is DENIECE, great person to have at the front desk, nice and friendly, first impression is what most people see, great job! and thank you.

What a great place to stay, especially when you are rushed or need special accommodations...a nice room, a comfy bed, all the plus details one wants when one is tired from the road. We arrived late and needed a place where we could get easy access to the internet connection. No problem. We rose early the next day and needed the breakfast room to be open early. No problem. Checkout ease was great. We'll go back!
