HYATT house Emeryville/San Francisco Bay Area

8/10 Good

"I needed a room for just one night and this didn’t job but was more than I needed - it had a living room and kitchen. Strangely enough, the light switches were really hard to find! The hotel is nice enough but starting to show a little wear and tear. It was very quiet and clean. "
