The Woodfin seems to have carved out a niche, providing large suite style rooms in an area where their competitors offer "only" regular rooms. Check-in was the most efficient I have ever experienced...

A jewel in the Bay area. Earthy tones and hues greet you on arrival in your suite. Your heart feels its welcoming warmth before you've even unpacked. Lovely furniture, well spaced layout and quiet surroundings make Woodfin a place to return to, again and again. Amenities in-house galore, AMTRAK behind the hotel, shuttles to BART and the 4 hypermarts for convenience, not to mention the bookstores, dining places and Bay Street's entertainment right on your doorstep. Awesome, breathtaking views of the Bay and/or the hills.Even the startling horn of the trains passing by fail to displace the peaceful atmosphere.Staff are pleasant with an ever-ready smile; and the pet-friendly hotel ensures your pooch isn't left alone. Highly recommended.

"Great hotel"

Jun 14, 2008 - We attended a graduation at UC Berkeley on Memorial Day weekend. As I expected big crowds everywhere, I looked early for a hotel. We where two adults and two "children", a teenage girl and an adult son. The Woodfuin suites in Emeriville was perfect. First the location, right off the highway, made it great for going anywhere we needed to. Driving time to UC Berkeley campus was 10-15 minutes.
Second, the staff was very friendly and welcoming.
Third the suite was perfect for our needs, we had two rooms, one with two queen beds and the sitting room with a pull out sofa.
The suite also had a huge bathroom and a small kitchen area with all the utensils. We only used the kitchen for snacks, but it was great to have the full size fridge and sink.
We also used the movie library once, where you can check out movies for a couple of days at no extra charge. We had breakfast at the hotel only once. The buffett was a little pricy, but very convenient and the food and service were great.
Forth the rate was very reasonable for San Francisco area hotels, at $160.
We highly recommend this hotel for anyone having to stay near Berkeley or Oakland. We will stay there again if we go back to the area.

Aloha,
 
I would also like to take this time to thank the staff in Emeryville.  I know there job is very tough at some times and at others it is very enjoyable.  This was my first time back to the mainland from Hawaii in a year and I must say that your staff made it very enjoyable.  From asking directions to places, being shuttled to the BART, asking for amenities and internet capabilities, everything was fantastic.  I will be sure to send them a note of thanks as well and I look forward to staying with Woodfin Suites again.

Sincerely

Love the Pet Floor

From the moment we arrived everythign was great.  We were met with extremely friendly front desk staff and everything else was excellent as well.  The suite was extremely clean and roomy, the restaurant served great food and anything that we needed was tended to.  Best of all, we were allowed to bring our dog.  The hotel has a "pet friendly" floor.  EVERYTHING was great and we will come back and stay again.

Dear Quenisha Hicks,

I wanted to drop you this message to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay in room 505 on 4/10, 4/11 and 4/12. Your staff were excellent - very service-oriented and very helpful, and your facility was well equipped and very comfortable for families.  Maisa and the rest of your staff are to be complimented!
 
Thanks for a wonderful stay
