Hotels near University of California Botanical Garden in Oakland

Only problem is you need more washing machines on the property. I was to tired to walk to the other washing machine after the 1 close to our room was being used. Staff were fantastic and helpful. The restaurant staff were also excellent for breakfast.

I came here because I was tired . I remembered being offered free breakfast but I was leaving before breakfast time . But thanks for the offer . It’s within walking distance to the bball arena and baseball park . And not too far from the airport . There are some other shops and restaurants around but I just stayed because I was tired . The bathtub was nice .

A good stay with helpful staff. Having 2 Kings beds in room meant our family of 4 could sleep more comfortably - most hotels have only queens. Only downside was some traffic noise from side of hotel our room was located. Airport shuttle is on demand and quick. It also stops at Car rental centre which was a Godsend when we arrived at Fox to pick up our car only to be told they could not honour our reservation as too many cars were returned with broken windows - a sorry reflection on the decay in California with petty crime out of control.

We stayed at this hotel at what must have been their busiest weekend ever due to UC Berkeley’s alumni/parents weekend. The hotel was packed but service was great. One standout moment was when we found out last minute we needed a cot in our room. At 10pm or so the night manager Izzy (I believe that was his name) was on hand to not only field every request for towels from multiple guests and deliver them himself but also deliver the cot to us. The big take away is that the manager did great but it seems like the higher ups really should have scheduled more people to assist on a night that was obviously packed at the hotel. But all in all great hotel

Breakfast is quite rich, there are scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, bread, yogurt, fruit... It is the most rich hotel for breakfast for many days, breakfast time is still very long, until 11 o'clock. The hotel room is not bad, the only one most unacceptable is that the toilet does not have an exhaust fan.

I dealt with Enrique and Renee and they were amazing so helpful and sweet. It was my first time in Oakland and they told me about all the amazing places to go see and vist. They were always making sure I was ok and if I needed anything. Definitely will return because of those two.

The property i manage had damage as a result of the Atmospheric river on last Tuesday and a water pipe was broken by a fallen tree. Despite my best efforts the damage had still not been fixed on Sunday and a tenant asked if they could be put up at a hotel. I gave them two choices one of which was Holiday Inn. The tenant called the one on University Avenue in Berkeley and was told that there was a three day stay minimum. They were also quoted a rate 0f $209 a night. When I called I was told $169 a night and $159 a night with AAA discount and no minimums. I gave the girl my credit card and she swiped it and it was approved. All she told me to do was to give the tenants my AAA card number so I could get the discount when they checked in. My tenants went to the hotel and were told that there was no reservation either under their name or mine. I gave them the confirmation number given me by the girl who answered the phone. They found the reservation. Then they were told that they would have to give them their credit card so they could run it and pay for the reservation in advance of checking out ”just in case.” They were told if they wanted to use my credit card I would have to come down there that night, not the next morning, and have him swipe my card and if I did not come, he was going to kick the tenants out. Thus, I had to get out of bed at 10:30 at night and go to Berkeley. When I get there he tells me that he is going to charge my card that night for the two night stay. I told him I had already been charged and he said that he had canceled the charge because I did not accompany the tenants at checkin. Neither of us were told that I had to accompany them and being a business traveler I know that not to be true. When he gave me the receipt, he had changed the terms because I got new terms when he canceled the previous reservation and they had had an increase in demand. (The parking lot was only half full). When I asked for a copy of the receipt, which I was entitled too since he was charging me to check out before I even checked in, he refused to give it to me, telling me to ”take a picture.” I will never use this hotel again.

I’ve stayed here a few times now and TBH I’ve never really had any issues. The Front Desk are welcoming and very helpful. I can’t remember the girls name but she’s young and very pretty anyways she was very patient with me after she had checked me out and checked me right back in. It took the deposit money a few to hit my account again but she was willing and ready to work something out for me. One thing I do wish this Hotel had was some bacon sausage and eggs to their morning breakfast.

Great location for visiting our relatives. Front desk staff was helpful, and we appreciated that they had extra towels and toilet paper behind the front desk so that we wouldn’t have to wait for someone to deliver this to our room. Beds in our 7th floor room was surprisingly firm. Most hotels have worn soft beds. Bathroom is well designed considering it’s a small space. Bright lights and white walls with a modern shower reminds me of a deluxe cruise ship bathroom. Mini microwave in the room is a nice plus because the Trader Jo’s is right across the street. Free parking is a definite plus. And lobby area feels like a mini living room. At night, you need your hotel key to walk through the front entrance sliding doors as well as tap key to access elevator — great double security feature which I appreciated! And housekeeping staff were genuinely helpful and friendly.
