The Homewood Suites by Hilton Oakland-Waterfront hotel was an ideal conversion candidate because of its spectacular location and unique design that combines the best of waterfront design and Homewood Suites by Hilton prototype standards.  Converted prior to the construction phase, the project was originally designed as another extended stay product when Homewood Suites by Hilton was approached by the developer for consideration as a conversion candidate.   

Located at 1103 Embarcadero Drive, the hotel is within minutes from the Oakland Airport, Oakland Coliseum, Downtown Oakland and Jack London Square.  Situated directly off the 880 freeway, the hotel offers a spectacular sunset view looking through the swaying masts of the marina into the Oakland harbor.  �The conversion was enhanced by the willingness of the franchisee to meet and sometimes exceed our Homewood Suites by Hilton standards.  All aspects of the brand�s core attributes are represented in this unique waterfront Homewood Suites by Hilton hotel,� said Holthouser.

The three-story Homewood Suites by Hilton Oakland-Waterfront hotel offers residential-style suites with spacious sleeping and living areas that are large enough for work, study, entertaining or relaxing.  Attractive guest amenities include a complimentary breakfast buffet in the hotel�s hospitality center � called the �Lodge,� an evening manager�s reception Monday through Thursday with a complimentary light meal and beverages*, a 24-hour executive business center, exercise facilities and a 24-hour Suite Shop convenience store.

Additional hotel amenities include an outdoor pool, on-demand movies and 820 square feet of meeting space.  Each suite of the hotel has a fully equipped kitchen, featuring a microwave oven, full-size refrigerator, twin-burner stove, dishwasher and all the necessary pots, pans and utensils. 

Suites also contain a remote-controlled television, an iron/ironing board, and two telephones with dual lines and data ports.  Homewood Suites by Hilton backs its quality and value with its 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, which states if guests are not satisfied with their stay, then that night�s stay is free.
