AC Hotel by Marriott Oakland Downtown

AC Hotel by Marriott Oakland Downtown

10/10 Excellent
"Our room was clean and spacious, and staff was helpful with anything with any questions asked. The hotel provides valet only (no self parking) and uses a covered and secured garage so we were relieved but did not keep any valuables in the car. Getting your car can take some time but that is clearly stated from the beginning. They also provide you with a # to text when you’re ready to leave so plan 10-15 min or so ahead of time."
