La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Oakland - Hayward

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Oakland - Hayward

10/10 Excellent
"I enjoyed my stay overall, and the hotel was a nice place to stay during my business trip to San Francisco. However, my main concern was the noise level. The hallways carried a lot of sound, and conversations echoed, making it difficult to rest. Before my arrival, I specifically requested a quiet room away from elevators and ice machines because I am a light sleeper. Unfortunately, my room was located fairly close to an ice machine, and I could hear it operating throughout the night. I understand that some noise is unavoidable, but I would have appreciated more consideration of my room preferences. Overall, my experience was good, and I hope the hotel takes these requests into consideration for future guests."

"I’ve stayed at this hotel before because it is convenient to the Oakland airport. It’s nothing fancy, but it is satisfactory. The only drawback I would say is that the staff at the front desk are far from friendly. I don’t often feel that I am inconveniencing them. Regardless, I do recommend it because it’s affordable and convenient."
