We booked the Hilton Oakland Airport for its proximity to the airport, perfect for our early morning flight. Unfortunately, convenience was the only perk of our stay. The hotel's decor felt like a trip back in time - think dated furniture and a very "retro Hilton" vibe. While some might find it charming, we were hoping for something more modern. Arriving at 1am, a working air conditioner was crucial. However, ours wasn't functioning properly. Despite adjusting the thermostat, the room remained uncomfortably warm throughout the night. Waking up hot and sweaty at 5am, I opened the window for some relief, only to be met with constant noise from outside. Trying to address the air conditioning issue was another challenge. The phone in the room was broken! Hoping for a resolution in the morning, I used the live chat function at 8am. Disappointingly, there was no response until a mere 15 minutes before our 11am checkout - far too late to be of any help. To add insult to injury, our bathroom only had one towel. With the broken phone, requesting more was impossible. On top of that, housekeeping knocking repeatedly at 8am unnecessarily disrupted our sleep. The only solution offered was a late check-out at 1pm, which arrived way too late for our travel plans. This stay fell short of Hilton standards, especially for a Diamond member like myself. The malfunctioning air conditioning, broken phone, lack of response on live chat, inadequate towels, and unnecessary housekeeping disruption significantly impacted our experience. If you're looking for a comfortable and convenient stay near the Oakland Airport, I recommend exploring other options. There are better hotels available that won't leave you feeling sweaty, frustrated, and disappointed.
