From what I've read on this forum, there aren't really any perks to staying at CY & no brekkie coupons.

Unless the CY is super cheap, I'd probably stay at the FS Marriott if you need to be in downtown since you can use an EEO. Better chance of a room upgrade at a FS, and if it's directly across the street from the CY they're probably making some type of arrangement for their guests to use that pool. You could call the Marriott & ask about alternate pool arrangements.

Or if you only need to be in OAK for the day, then staying outside at CY near other stuff might work.

BTW - if you do end up staying at the FS, can you do an update on the lounge weekend access - ie, if it's open or closed, if they give brekkie coupons, if it's key accessible if it's closed, if it has an i-net terminal or wifi? Think what we have in the lounge thread is outdated.

Cheers.
