Hotel was nice. Staff seemed nice. My main issue is that the front desk did not tell me that if i park in the hotel parking lot i will be charged $51.30 for 1 night of parking. I called and asked what this charge on my credit card was from as i was unaware. The told me because i parked in the gated area where the front desk told me to park. They did not tell me it was additional fees. I saw a sign but assumed hotel guest got free parking. Its next to the water so thought non hotel guest park in the same parking lot. Im usually not petty but this was really a lot of money for parking. Ive been to Vegas where they charge you for everthing and it was cheaper than this. I will not be going back to this hotel again. I feel cheated.

Parking is $45 a night (and a total of $50 a night with taxes). We saw a few people park across the street where signs said no parking from 12 AM to 6 AM but they had no problems. The room was very clean and nice. The outdoor temperature was very comfortable and with the glass door open the room was very comfortable. The staff were very attentive and welcoming. Overall would recommend the hotel and will stay there again in future travels.

I am rating this hotel a 2/5 stars for several reasons. Starting with the rudeness/ lack of availability of the staff. The woman who checked me in was not welcoming, rather rushed the process. She spoke very fast to the point I could barely understand her, she was not friendly and seemed bothered to be assisting me. When the process was complete she simply pointed to the right without giving a detailed description of how to get to my room. This would have been helpful as it was quite difficult to navigate the halls. A very polite custodian saw us looking lost and was very kind to assist. Later during the trip I wanted to purchase an item from the lobby market, but no one was there. I thought about paying at the check in desk, but there was about 7 parties in line with only 2 people working the desk.
The room itself was underwhelming. The bathroom lacked counter space and the showerhead leaked up toward the ceiling. The walls were extremely thin. We could hear the family next door and all of the guests slamming their doors. The patio was small and extremely dirty as there was a mysterious puddle right outside the sliding door. We tried to look for the indoor pool during our stay, but was quickly discouraged. Our room was in building 1, the pool was all the way across the grounds in building 4.
Overall I was very unimpressed and displeased with my stay at this hotel. I would absolutely not recommend this hotel nor would I stay here again,

Third time staying here! No Need for my opinion. Here are the facts:

Positive:
1- Convenient to Downtown, Major Highways
2- Staff very helpful, need to acknowledge guests that are waiting
3- Rooms are clean and well stocked (daily)
4- Property clean near guest room buildings
5- Good on-site restaurant
6- Valet staff - efficient and friendly
7- Pool and Gym equipment well-maintained
8- Check out easy with Hilton App

Negatives:
1- Parking Cost$ Too High ($40.00 to self park)
2- Parking Lot is gated, but nothing stops any kind of Riff Raff entering the parking lots from 3 sides. Parking spaces across the street are full of people living in cars and and mini RVs that anyone can see, haven't been moved in a LONG time. Various non-guests seen day and night traversing back and side parking lots, Doesn't feel safe, at all!
3- Property surrounding back parking lots needs a lot of attention, repair to surfaces and daily trash pickup
4- Snack shop overpriced ($7.00 + for a coffee) most hotels offer complimentary coffee, many 24/7.
5- Long walk to any kind of shopping/dining, recommend driving
6- Best to locate your room, then locate closest Exit, then determine parking spot closest to exit door

Only one complaint. We are Hilton honors members and we selected our room the day before however when we got our room not only was it not the one we selected but was on the wrong floor. We selected the second floor so we could watch the fireworks without the trees and boats obstructing our view. When I reached out to Hilton honors they said it’s based off of availability. This just makes no sense if you select the room that they say is available prior to arrival why would it change.

Its at a great location with awesome views of the bay and marina but you have to drive a little ways to get to a store but there are couple good restaurants in the marina. The restaurant at the motel is not one of them and we considered it less than average after having dinner there. Staff is very friendly and helpful and its much easier to park then if you go to San Fransisco and safer then SF.

The location of this property can’t be beat. With that being said, the rooms are tired and in need of a refresh. I’ve been staying here for years and nothing has changed.

Upon check in I was given a key to a room that was already occupied. When I returned to the front desk they could no longer find my reservation and were less than helpful. I ended up on the phone with hotels to get it sorted out before they would check me in.

The rooms are dank and old. Bathrooms are dirty and very basic.

Not up to double tree standards at all. Rooms are old, weird. Staff - some were friendly, some were very rude and standoffish. We checked in and were immediately met with unfriendliness, asked to pay 40+ a night for self parking in the lot, which was only five dollars less than valet, given a room that smelled awful - my wife thought it smelled like pee, to me it smelled like thousands of cigarettes and mildew. Part of the door's bottom insulation piece was missing, so noise was an issue right away. We asked to move to any other room due to these issues and were told (by the same staff member) that they wouldn't do so - only after finding someone else did they relent and move us to a different room on the bottom floor (& thank god as the elevator was unusable - so slow & terrifyingly old). This room was cleaner looking and smelling so we were happy, but then found another guests discarded dirty underwear left in the bathroom on the floor beneath the sink. At that point we gave up & decided to ride out our stay like a roller coaster, and everything was pretty okay otherwise. Bizarre stuff. Not remotely worth the cost. Tons of hidden fees or upcharges (parking, pets, breakfast - if you wanted it) and not well maintained at all, inside or out. Even the parking lot was seedy and weird. Some cars were clearly ransacked and left to sit. Dont recommend it

The only negative is the charge for the parking for 45 and it’s not easy to bring your luggage in in a few places
But on the whole, it’s a pretty nice hotel. They do have a nice restaurant not cheap but decent food.

My biggest issue was the parking lot—I have a handicap sticker and was only able to park in a handicap spot on Thursday. The entrance doors closest to my room locked at a certain hour, and they could not be opened from the outside or inside, which again defeated the purpose of trying to get a handicap parking slot. We would have to walk to the furthest door of our building to enter. Additionally, the view was of the street. Knowing what I know now, I would have opted to choose my own room. I specifically asked for an ice machine on my floor and was instructed to go to building #2. The desk attendant kind of reluctantly let me go in the little store and get ice.

I also will not book again thru Hotels.com I was locked into this hotel and deal. I am a Hilton Rewards member and was unable to apply any of those options plus military and senior discounts.

For the most part I really don't have an issue with the property or any of the staff; once they listened to my concern, it was addressed. Unfortunately, nothing could be done about the parking.

I was so excited to stay on the marina and thought how could you go wrong with Hilton. Well, they need to completely renovate this property. The front desk and restaurant were fine but the rooms area was so rundown. I was really angry that I paid that much money plus $45 for freaking parking and had popcorn ceilings and a shower head that I had to duck under to use. The elevator was peeling and creaky. And the whole thing was just sketchy. There was a very ugly eyesore of a building in view from our balcony towards the marina. Just can’t believe Hilton would put their name on this. The staff however, was friendly and accommodating. None of this was their fault. I’m out almost $300 and feel like I stayed in an old best western from the 80’s.

Tried to call the hotel in my way as I encountered delay driving there from LA. was nearly impossible to reach someone to talk to just to indicate I will be late and will check after midnight.
After many trials was able to reach someone on the phone and series of questions including when exactly will you be here ? Bearing in mind I had 5 unexpected car accidents on the way which I explained but it was so complicated to deliver the idea for some reason!! The rooms are not easy to access from the lobby.
The parking lot which you pay almost 50$ a night is not well maintained.
By the way park outside the hotel .. it is free !
The room itself was tight
Beds are double not queen so tiny to sleep in esp if you have kids with you.
The back outs were not functioning like black outs they were so thin that the light bulbs were shinning in our eyes and the rooms were brightly lit all night long !
No breakfast included in the reservation
The only good thing is its proximity to Berkeley university if you need to be there .

Hotel staff was nice, the property itself is beautiful but with it close to the water there’s a consistent mildew sent throughout the hotel. The staff also happened to check us into a room that was already booked and we walked in on a stranger so that wasn’t great. However the staff was quick to resolve the issue and the rest of our stay was seamless. The furniture and decor in the rooms seemed a little dated but this hotel got the job done.

This hotel was very good. Great location, staff was quick to respond to any questions or issues. My only complaints are these. Saturday morning I wanted to pick up a quick breakfast from the store where I had seen several breakfast options the day before. When I went down around 7:00am there was nothing available. I had to get take out from the restaurant. That night we had dinner in the restaurant. Service was extremely slow. We arrived at 6:30pm and did not get out of there until after 8:30pm. No apology or reason for the delay was offered. It was also very expensive for what we ordered, which was mostly salads.

Loved our ground floor bedroom overlooking the marina. It was lovely waking up and taking a stroll throughout the property’s grounds and trails leading up to breathtaking views of the bay. One frustrating thing though wa their lack of towels in the swimming pool and bathroom. It took us two separate visits to the lobby and we still didn’t have towels! We ended up staying inside the pool for a while, waiting on maintenance to bring in more towels, and they never showed! It took a good 30 minutes for them to give us towels, for our room and pool. We also didn’t have a toilet paper replacement in the room, ended up using Kleenex. Unacceptable.
