AC Hotel by Marriott Oakland Downtown

Exceptionally clean with modern features and a spacious look. No stray hairs on sheets, towels or shower like at most hotels. Mattress looked new and had sealed cover on it. Very polite and helpful staff. The complimentary breakfast was very nice and had many options. Tasted great (With exception of the blueberry muffin). The shower had consistent water pressure. Hot water temp never fluctuated. The area seemed safe. Two security guys out front were helpful and very nice to me and my husband which we arent used to as we have alot of tattoos and look somewhat out of place in this setting. The value for the quality was exceptional and I will stay there again if I'm ever in the area. The photo submitted was the view from my window I sent to a friend.

We attended a concert at the Fox Theater. We walked to the venue as a group and felt relatively safe. There were some homeless people, but that is Oakland. Uber is an option. We chose to walk, and it was okay both going and returning.

The room was spacious.

Beautiful - the size of the room was stunning and I didn’t order some especially uniquely large suite. So big. Tons of towels. Gorgeous shower and sliding barn bathroom door. Visually clearly upscale. I arrived at 10:15 at night valet and security focused and on point. I felt incredibly safe. I literally stopped the valet a day later and told him what his presence and professionalism meant to me at that late hour. He absolutely deserved the upper level tip I shared.

Great clean, quiet, comfortable and cheap option away from the craziness of SF. New hotel with great rooms and a lovely little bar area for snacks/drinks in the evening. Very convenient for the BART, so getting into SF was no problem.
