Groomsmen:

Hey Everyone!

We have worked out some hotel options for you to check out.

I have attached a link to the Hilton Garden Inn San Leandro. This hotel is close to us and pretty centrally located to lots of things in the Bay Area. This hotel is about 20-30 minute drive to the wedding location.
