The Clarion hotel in downtown Oakland, CA helped make the vacation great fun. The front Office, specifically Chauncy Taylor, made the trip more enjoyable. She was able to offer suggestions on what to do there in the Bay area that were very helpful and saved some money on the tours and restaurants. It was a great hotel for the downtown... More

Luckily on a visit we looked on the internet for hotels with good ratings in the Oakland area and found this one. From the very first phone call until our checkout we had an enjoyable experience (and stayed several extra days at this property). It is located within walking distance to the BART and several other conveniences. Chauncy (front desk)... More

Friendly, very helpful staff and the best value in Oakland's downtown. At under $100/night, it's less than half the cost of the nearby hotels. Fabulous proximity to BART and more than a few nightlife options within easy walking distance. Can't imagine a better experience with staff on any of our visits--they're great. Need a recommendation on dining, or suggestions for... More

My experience was excellent! The hotel and rooms were nice, but the service from Chuancy Taylor, the desk clerk, was far beyond what I expected. Chuancy was very helpful from the time that I inquired for reservations until the time that I checked out. She was always happy and clearly made me feel like part of the family. She introduced...

Had a business meeting in downtown Oakland and this small hotel was clean, one block off of Broadway and was far less expensive than the other major hotel in the area. There is a small coffee shop attached to the hotel that offered a nice breakfast and pleasant service. This is by no means a luxury hotel. Bare essentials but... More

Excellent service from the maid service to the front desk clerk (Chauncy). The beds and the room was very small and when I booked the reservation I didn't think, of asking which size of bed they had but the service was excellent. More

Chauncy was incredibly friendly and helpful when I stayed at the Clarion last month. She made the stay at this nice and convenient hotel even better. The restaurant connected to the hotel is great and the woman who takes orders is super friendly, too. More

Great locaton downtown Oakland. This hotel has about 65 rooms that are a little small but well maintained and comfortable. The design makes this hotel seem more like a botifque hotel because I believe it is a converted extended stay hotel. The staff here is great....They are friendly and helpful. The connected restaurant has a very good menu offering a... More

I am working a couple blocks away, and this hotel is a bargain. Rooms are super clean, and the staff makes it feel personal. Chauncy is the kind of character that makes me excited to return to my home away from home. Samir -- you better treat her right as she is one great asset. More
