Top hotels in Downtown Hayward
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina
Hotel was decent. Rooms were clean. The only thing we weren’t happy with was there was no room service from the hotel restaurant. We had to go downstairs to order and then wait to bring up to the room.

Travelodge by Wyndham San Francisco Airport North
Yes, the room was very clean that even my wife made mention of it. The staff were friendly. This was my first time staying at Travelodge so we were a bit surprised that it didn't come with a mini fridge nor microwave. But, other than that it was good, and for the price you can't beat it.

LUMA Hotel San Francisco
Very clean property, the staff was very helpful and welcoming. The room was missing a steamer/ iron but that doesn’t make or break anything. The property is next to a train line so it’s a touch noisy but overall great experience and would stay there again
