Hilton Garden Inn Oakland/San Leandro

They had roaches on the 3 floor

This hotel (Hilton Garden Inn San Leandro) (Sep_2025) has a friendly staff and the high cleanliness and room accommodation standards of the franchise. Overlooks a major interchange (880) but even the highway side was not overly noisy. Access from Lewelling Blvd was a bit of a puzzle. Many restaurants and stores nearby. Small exercise room with treadmills and a few weights (accessible all hours) next to small indoor pool. Optional breakfast buffet available but not widely used. Cashless front desk. Maid service normally every other day. Highway traffic is consistently heavy. Very pleasant stay.

The friendly helpful staff - Melissa at reception and the breakfast dining staff - made our stay unexpectedly enjoyable and happy. The hot buffet breakfast (available for a fee but Melissa kindly gave us a voucher) was just what we needed to start the day. Room 427 was comfortable, spacious, quiet and well-furnished. There were refillable toiletries, microwave, mini-fridge, a good Direct TV setup, good seating with desk chair and upholstered chair, an upholstered bench helpful for our travel cases, an open closet with steel basket storage drawers. The room was stylishly functional. We thought the nearby freeway would be a noisy distraction but it was not a problem at all.

The room lighting was a bit dim as well as the bedside reading lights and the artwork on the walls was not to our taste. But other than these minor quibbles, this hotel is a surprisingly good one that we will use again when in the area and highly recommend to others seeking a stay in this region.

The people at the Hilton Garden in Hayward. We’re very Nice, Rowens and Jeff. Wore very lime kind at was a pleasure Meeting them

helpful staff....indoor hot tub was the best

The staff were very helpful and the room clean tidy and well kept. The overall location of the hotel was convenient and there was a nice buzz and ambiance to the hotel open area. Car parking was plentiful.

Very convenient location is a plus. Con is that they only clean the rooms once every third day.
