Oakland Hotel Guide - Henry J. Kaiser Center for the Arts hotels in Oakland, United States of America.

"The hotel was about 2 blocks from the 12th St / Oakland BART station. The area was very walkable, and was close to Oakland Chinatown. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable. The decor was a bit dated, but everything seemed functional. Wifi was fine. My room was quite spacious, so that was appreciated. The gym was a bit above average. Some front desk staff could have been more attentive, but others were professional and helpful. The highlight of my stay was the popcorn machine they had in the lobby in the evening. Overall, a good stay. I would definitely consider this hotel again in the future. "

"Got a different room than what i booked. Wanted a city view room instead got the side of a building view. Its was okay. "

"It was nice staff was great property ok"

"The entire hotel smelled like cigarette smoke, and felt off from the very beginning. Online the place looked very promising and though the lobby looked out dated I had held out hopes for the rest of the amenities. Getting in the elevator you are immediately greeted with the smell of marijuana and once you're dropped off on your floor you're met with hallway bathrooms, beat up walls and doors, and once again the incredibly overpowering smell of smoke. In our room the bathroom counters had not been cleaned, there were dirty towels on our floors and spots on our blankets. Confident that there was no way our sheets could be clean or that i could continue to stay for the night i attempted to call down to the front desk to see what could be done only to find out that the phone actually had no cords at all. They were able to refund me for the two other nights i was not going to stay but would not compensate for the night i checked in for, though I was in the building less than 20 minutes. "

"Welcoming pet friendly, has parking, but never have ice or vending machines don’t work. Every ting else is ok nice view ! "

" Checked in my restroom had pee all over the toilet like the maid didn't even bother, there was no breakfast, paid for parking thru Expedia but it was not honored at the site, and no breakfast"

"It’s not clean enough "

"The property is in need of serious renovation and updates. I was disappointed that there were not more amenities. The staff was somewhat responsive but it took a little longer than expected to resolve a few issues. It’s a good location so I hope it will be upgraded. "

"The door to our room was jammed on multiple occasions. The room key did not work and at one point had us standing trying to unlock it for 10+ minutes. The room was not properly cleaned out and there was many hairs in the shower. There was a man late Friday night who was being very creepy in the hallway next to our door. Saying he worked in the building and could help us but had no uniform and looked nothing like someone who worked in the building. It was very unsettling for two young women late at night. I will not be returning. "
