negative:
Expensive parking rates
Although Marriott Oakland City Center Hotel is situated in the heart of the city and features on-site parking, guests have complained that they are able to find alternative parking arrangements for cheaper and would like this hotel to better accommodate for people staying at the hotel.

negative:
Thin walls lets in unwanted noise
Thin walls between each room means that guests can hear each other and unwanted noises enter each private room. Some guests have an issue with sleeping at night due to these internal noises reaching their room.
negative:
Paid Wi-Fi in-room
Although guests can access the Wi-Fi for free in the public areas of this hotel, only a paid connection is available in the private rooms. Guests feel as though this is an unnecessary charge in this day and age.
