Pulling up to the AC Hotel in downtown Oakland, California had us greeted by kind valets who welcomed us to the hotel. Once inside, the contemporary and timeless design of the lobby had us feeling assured we picked the right hotel for our weekend. Checking in was a breeze and we were up in our 15th floor room within minutes of entering.
The hotel has a friendly staff, clean rooms, and a decent breakfast spread. The lobby had a lovely fire going and movies playing on the wall. There were plenty of places to get comfortable should you wish to hang out. The bar and restaurant also open in the evening if you are looking to enjoy a drink without having to leave the hotel….
Walking into the grand atrium of Jambo House at Christmastime feels like you leave Florida behind to step into a postcard from one of Africa’s most luxurious resorts. The moment the doors glide open, you’re greeted by the soft glow of warm lighting that entices you in. From the rich wood floors to the reds of the fan style chandeliers, the warmth of this deluxe resort will have you feel cozy and welcomed upon entry.
