Hotel Courtyard Oakland Downtown (Oakland, USA)

Guests rate the location of the Courtyard Oakland Downtown highly. As its name suggests, you'll find yourself right in the heart of things. Many attractions are within walking distance and the BART station offering direct access to San Francisco is just a block from the hotel.

The choice of on-site facilities at this hotel caters to most needs. Guests comment that the gym and pool are well maintained and that the Wi-Fi works as well as you might hope. Having things like a laundry and safe deposit boxes available adds convenience.

The rooms and suites attract mostly positive feedback. They are found to be clean and comfortable with a good selection of included amenities. The beds are of a good standard, so a good night's sleep seems likely. Any issues raised are typically minor.

The Courtyard Oakland Downtown is not exactly a budget property, so many guests are of the opinion that parking should be included. As it is, you will pay a fairly hefty daily sum - one which seems harsh considering that space doesn't seem to be at a premium in the area.

Guests sometimes comment on the lack of available plug sockets in the hotel rooms, explaining how they had to unplug a lamp in order to have somewhere to plug their devices in. A power strip on the desk would be helpful.

In addition to the parking costs, you will also have to fork out for breakfast - a cost that several guests mention is high. Even the items in the vending machines seem overpriced. On the plus side, Wi-Fi is free.
