Hampton Inn Oakland Downtown-City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Super easy + quick check in process. Friendly front desk. The room was clean and the shower was great. The breakfast was surprisingly varied and top tier!! Great location, a short walk to lake Merritt."

Rodeway Inn Alameda-Oakland

10/10 Excellent

"The hospitality was really outstanding !!! They put the H back in the word. Noticed they have made positive changes overall👍👍👍👍👍"

Best Western Plus Bayside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was great and had such a beautiful view. This feedback may seem small, but hotels charging for parking is a bit absurd. There's plenty of parking for guests, and this is something that should be included in someone's stay. Especially since it's not like we're staying in San Fran where it's a nightmare to park."

Residence Inn by Marriott Oakland Downtown

10/10 Excellent
