Top Uptown Oakland Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"The bartender Oscar was very nice and friendly. Reception was courteous and helpful."

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I always stay at this hotel when I visit San Francisco. The location is central to public Transportation and there is a near by grocery store and many great restaurants. What really brings me back for multiple visits is the reliability of the cleanliness of the rooms. Every style of room I have stayed in (double beds, single, upgraded rooms and basic tiers) are all fantastic. The staff here is very professional and helpful as well. They allow you drop off your baggage early before check in and have even permitted early check in sometimes. I feel very safe at this hotel as there is security at the desk at all times. The property is locked in the evenings and you need a keycard to access the guest room floors. Thank you staff at Holiday Inn!"

Club Quarters Hotel Embarcadero, San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at Club Quarters Hotel Embarcadero. The front desk staff was so kind and helped me find a quiet room not facing the street, which made a big difference. The room was small but clean, well-equipped, and the bed was very comfortable — I felt completely at ease throughout my stay. The location is excellent: close to Pier 9 where my conference was, near a Safeway for daily essentials, with plenty of restaurants nearby and the Ferry Pier and waterfront just a short walk away. I would happily stay here again."
