My stay at the Waterfront Hotel was absolutely fantastic! The room was spotless, very quiet, and perfectly comfortable—perfect for a restful night's sleep. The front desk staff went above and beyond with their friendly and efficient service, making check-in and check-out seamless. I especially loved the breakfast buffet—huge variety, fresh ingredients, and delicious options including some local favorites. The location is ideal, just a short walk from the BART station and close to downtown attractions. Everything about this hotel felt thoughtfully designed, from the modern decor to the attention to detail. If I’m ever back in Oakland, this will be my first choice.

Imperial Inn Oakland

The stay at Imperial Inn was a pleasant surprise. I arrived around midnight, and the front desk was still open—24/7 check-in is a huge plus when you're traveling late. The room was clean, spacious, and came with a mini-fridge, which was perfect for storing snacks and drinks. While the microwave wasn’t in the room, I asked for one and it was delivered within 10 minutes—super responsive service. The hotel is conveniently located near MacArthur Station, making it easy to get around Oakland by train. There are several local restaurants nearby offering Chinese, Korean, and burgers—great for late-night cravings or casual meals. The area is quiet and peaceful during the night, though I’d advise tourists to be cautious if walking around after dark. What stood out most was that I requested a late checkout, and they happily accommodated me at no extra charge—friendly and flexible. If I ever return to San Francisco, this will be my go-to place. It’s affordable, well-maintained, and offers a welcoming atmosphere without breaking the bank.

Ramada by Wyndham Oakland Downtown City Center

Located in a great spot just minutes from downtown Oakland, this hotel offers convenient access to local attractions and public transit. The building is over 100 years old, but well-maintained with clean, comfortable rooms and friendly front desk staff. One thing worth noting: the bathtub lacks safety grab bars along the walls and doesn’t have a non-slip mat at the bottom. This could be a concern for guests who prioritize bathroom safety, especially elderly travelers or those with mobility issues. That said, the overall experience was positive—great value for the price, and the location makes it a solid choice if you're visiting the area. A small upgrade in bathroom safety features would make it even better.

Hampton Inn Oakland Downtown-City Center

The price is a bit on the higher side, but considering it's located right in downtown Oakland, that makes sense. For business travelers like me, having a solid place to rest and recharge is essential—this hotel delivers exactly that. The room was clean, quiet, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to unwind after a long day. Being just steps away from public transit and local restaurants added to the convenience. I woke up feeling refreshed and ready for the next day’s work. While not the cheapest option, the location and quality make it worth every penny. I’ll definitely be staying here again on my next trip.

Civic Center Lodge / Lake Merritt Bart

The stay was overall pleasant. The room was clean and spacious, with a convenient kitchenette including a working fridge, freezer, and microwave—perfect for light meals. One unexpected detail was the requirement for a cash deposit, but unfortunately no receipt was provided for the payment. That lack of documentation felt a bit off, especially since it’s not common practice. Despite that minor hiccup, the location is excellent—just steps from the Lake Merritt BART station, making downtown Oakland easy to reach by transit. The value for money is solid, and I’d definitely consider staying here again if visiting the area.

Bay Bridge Inn Oakland

I was genuinely impressed by my stay at Bay Bridge Inn. Coming from a long history of budget motels that often come with questionable vibes, I had low expectations—worried about noisy rooms, sketchy characters, or unclean spaces. To my delight, none of those concerns came true. The front desk staff were friendly, efficient, and helpful without being overbearing. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and felt peaceful throughout my visit. While the neighborhood isn’t the most glamorous part of Oakland, I knew what to expect going in, and it didn’t detract from the overall experience. With its convenient location, clean facilities, and great value, I’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommend for travelers looking for a no-frills, reliable place to rest in Oakland.

Moxy Oakland Uptown

Staying at Moxy Oakland Uptown was a total win for our one-night visit to attend my nephew's wedding. The hotel has a sleek, modern vibe with a fun and inviting atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. While the neighborhood is near some encampments and the surrounding public parking spots aren't very secure, the hotel offers a subleased, fully fenced lot just across the street on the left side of the entrance. It’s not super convenient, but paying $47 per day was totally worth it for peace of mind—my car felt safe the whole time. The room itself was stylish, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The TV was massive—probably 80 inches with stunning 4K quality—and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We barely heard any noise from outside, making for a restful night. Overall, this place exceeded expectations. Great location, excellent service, and top-notch amenities. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cool, reliable spot in downtown Oakland.

Residence Inn Oakland Downtown

The hotel is perfectly located right on the main road in downtown Oakland, making it super convenient for exploring the city. I appreciated the daily parking service offered by the platform—$50 per day with pickup and drop-off included—which made my stay stress-free. Even though the parking is outside the building, the area feels safe and well-lit at night. The room itself was enormous—way bigger than expected—and offered plenty of space to relax or work. It’s rare to find such a spacious, comfortable room in a downtown location. Overall, an excellent choice for both business and leisure travelers who value convenience, safety, and room size.

Jack London Inn

Arriving in Oakland late at night on the Coast Starlight, we were delighted to check into Jack London Inn—just a short walk from the train station. The location was perfect for our travel schedule. The room was surprisingly spacious and thoughtfully designed with clean, minimalist style. We booked a double-bed configuration, which worked great for two travelers, offering plenty of room to move around. What really stood out was the included breakfast—warm, fresh, and satisfying. It made our morning start so much easier. The overall atmosphere is quiet and welcoming, with friendly staff who made us feel right at home. For such a convenient, well-maintained, and affordable stay, I’d definitely return if I ever come back to Oakland.
