"We're pleased to strengthen our relationship with the Hilton Hotels & Resorts family of brands with this acquisition," added Arbor Lodging Partners principal Sheenal Patel, also CEO of NVN Hotels. "Hilton's global brand recognition, commitment to excellent service, and innovative hospitality practices make their hotels a great fit for our investment strategy."

The stylish, contemporary Hilton Garden Inn Oakland/San Leandro features well-designed guest rooms, a 1,300 square-foot meeting space that holds up to 100 people, an indoor pool, whirlpool and fitness center, and the Garden Grille & Bar restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
