Top Uptown Oakland Hotel Reviews

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved my time at the Handlery. It was my first time, but I will definitely stay there again!"

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was so friendly and helpful at the hotel. The hotel was very clean and was quiet in the hallways . We loved having the free breakfast it was delicious and had so much variety. The hotel being so close to the wharf made it so easy to walk most places or catch the red or blue line sight seeing buses to tour the city. A block behind the hotel was a grocery store that we were able to get beverages and snacks for our room. There is a small snack store in the hotel also to get small items and beverages if wanted. I would definitely recommend the hotel to others."
