Homewood Suites By Hilton Oakland-Waterfront

Negatives: Location

Negatives: The facilities were extremely outdated including the furniture and decor in the rooms. The tv stand was so stained and scratched it looked like it came from the goodwill. There were un-patched holes in the walls and the pool was filthy. The cherry on top was having to pay for parking then being told the area is subject to break ins and they aren't liable for stolen goods. Why am I paying to park then??. While the whole stay wasn't terrible I paid way to much for something that looked liked they had hourly rates for rooms. I've stayed at better Motel 6 or LA Quinta Inns for way less. I would never book a room or suggest this Hilton to anyone. In fact, I'll be sure to tell my people to steer clear of there.

Negatives: The outlets in the room were loose and the stuff I plugged in kept falling out. Also the shower curtain rod was broken and that prevented the curtain from closing all the way.

Negatives: Can I get recompensation recomp another night for the inconvenience of the incident with the police of the city of Oakland

Negatives: The corridors had a strong odor of Marijuana which permeated into the room

Negatives: We got there most expensive room with was to be a 2 bedroom suite. In-reality the room we got was just a 1 queen bedroom suite with a connected king room. It still worked for us with 4 adults and a toddler. The sofa bed in the living room was uncomfortable. The hotel seemed recently renovated but the beds, pillows and blankets/sheets did not. They are basic motel style and not comfortable. The pillows old and lumpy. The worse part for us was how LOUD the room is. We had a room looking out to the highway. This wouldn't be so bad (I don't mind facing a highway and can expect some type of noise) However, the room that had the one bedroom suite with kitchen didn't have an air conditioner as you would normally expect. A poorly makeshift air conditioner was placed in the window with plywood and a hole that was cut out the vent and a roll away air conditioner attached. So, this made no seal to the outside or the window. So, it was as if the highway was in your room. This also was the only air conditioner for two rooms (living room and bedroom separated by a door) So, for my toddler that was sleeping in the living room (no air-conditioner) it would get hot and so we had to keep our door open to keep it cool in the living room for her. Which defeated the purpose for us to get this room because we wanted to close the door to the bedroom so she could get sleep and keep it quite in the hotel room. This made me very angry as no one got good sleep, we were hot most of the time and it was loud in the room. For the kitchen we had to ask relatives to get us, knife, cutting board, dish soap, sponge, large mixing bowl.
