“Extremely impressed”

Excellent customer service; room very clean and comfortable. I stayed twice in this hotel and the customer service was the same "excellent". It is only ten miles from Berkeley--good choice if you are droping a student because it is really safe and nice.

“Good place to stay while visiting Berkeley and area. Easy access from freeway and not too crowded.”

Good locations away from downtown, more relaxed yet easy to travel by freeway. Clean and safe.

“Very comfortable.”

This is a very friendly, very comfortable hotel. We really enjoyed our stay.

“A great stay!”

The hotel was very clean and quiet and staff were very friendly. The restaurant offered a great buffet or you could order of the menu. We really enjoyed our stay.

“Highly recommended”

Located near the freeway for easy access to visitor destinations.

“All around good choice”

We picked this spot as it had rooms available- and it turned out to be a great choice! Staff was incredibly pleasant - without being gratuitous- room was good- and the price a (comparative)bargain. Will stay there again.

“Great Place to stay when it is a busy weekend in Sonoma or Napa Valley”

This hotel was perfect. It was a busy weekend in Sonma and Napa Valley. This hotel is 20 to 30 minutes from the Oakland Airport and to Sonoma or Napa. The staff was extremly helpful with directions and very professional. The rooms were comfortable and very nicely spaced.

“Enjoy Richmond, CA, in Style and Comfort”

Richmond is an interesting place to visit, just a few minutes from the Carquinez Straits to the northeast, (take Highway 4) and Berkeley and San Francisco, down I-80 to the southwest. In Richmond itself is a large and attractive nursery called "Annie's Annuals and Perennials"--worth a visit just to see the huge collection of plants and unusual art work. See "Rosie the Riveter, WWII Home Front National Historic Park." ...need to brush up on what may seem like ancient history to most of you? Walk along a path which follows San Pablo Bay south to Point Isabel, or take your dog for a walk in the special doggy area near the point. Shop at the Hilltop Mall, right near the hotel. We read about it in the newspaper, but didn't get to see the Richmond Municipal Natatorium, called "The Plunge" by the locals. This palacial 160 foot by 60 foot swimming pool, originally built in 1926, was just recently reopened after a massive remodel required by age and the Loma Prieta earthquake. According to the newspaper feature, an amazing collection of public and private donors cooperated to raise the needed millions to get the job done. Sure sounds like a worthy Look-See to me! A couple of nights at the Courtyard by Marriott, will give you the time you need--with careful planning and a good city map. They even gave us a list of restaurants--from across the street to San Francisco, but a drive along San Pablo Avenue will show you all the eats you need. Enjoy this little adventure.

“Beautiful hotel, perfect location.”

The hotel is very new, clean, and modern. The room was spacious and the bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in at a hotel. It had a nice flat screen TV with all channels including HBO. Free internet with no catch. The staff was very helpful and kind. Richmond is a wonderful place to stay when visiting the Bay area.

“Great Place out of the City”

We went for a Berkley game and were pleasantly surprised. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the hotel was immaculate!
