Hyatt Place Emeryville/San Francisco Bay Area

8/10 Good

"Good hotel and great value. Our room faced the railroad tracks but we never even heard a thing. The mattresses are stiff and not very supportive for adult side sleepers. Otherwise, no complaints."

HYATT house Emeryville/San Francisco Bay Area

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great, enjoyed the coin-op laundry and the front desk had plenty of coins for sale! Since traveling via Amtrak it was so convenient being just across the tracks with a footbridge going over the tracks. Would stay there again. Front desk staff friendly and helpful."
