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.
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.
Piedmont Place
I stayed at Piedmont Place in Oakland and was pleasantly surprised by how convenient and comfortable it was. The location is excellent—just a short walk to public transit and close to restaurants, cafes, and local shops. My room (212) was clean, quiet, and well-maintained with all the essentials I needed. While it’s not your typical hotel in appearance, it definitely works as a great budget-friendly option for travelers who value practicality over luxury. The staff were friendly and helpful, and check-in/check-out went smoothly. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you're looking for a no-frills stay without compromising on comfort or safety. Perfect for solo travelers, weekend getaways, or even extended stays on a tight budget.
Bay Breeze Inn
I stayed at Bay Breeze Inn during J-Hope's concert in Oakland, and it was an absolutely perfect choice! The staff were incredibly polite and welcoming from check-in to check-out. The room was spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and offered great value for money—especially considering how close we were to the Oakland Arena. I didn’t have to worry about long commutes or traffic, and parking was convenient and free. The location made everything so easy—just a short walk to the venue, yet quiet enough to get a good night’s sleep after the show. Everything about this stay felt thoughtful and comfortable. If you're visiting Oakland for a concert or just want a cozy, affordable place with friendly service, I highly recommend this gem. It’s definitely my go-to hotel now!
Oakland, CA - Embarcadero
Staying at this motel was a pleasant surprise! The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk to the downtown area and easily accessible by public transit. There are plenty of great dining options nearby, so you don’t have to go far for a good meal. The room wasn’t huge, but it was clean, well-maintained, and had all the essentials. The bed was comfortable, and I slept really well. What stood out most was the incredible value for money—great quality without the high price tag. The staff were friendly and helpful, making check-in smooth and stress-free. If you’re visiting Oakland on a budget but still want a reliable, comfortable stay, this place is a top pick. I’d definitely book here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a no-fuss, smart choice.
Highlander Motel
Staying at Highlander Motel was an absolute delight! This family-run gem stands out from the rest with its warm, welcoming atmosphere. The owners are incredibly approachable and genuinely kind—like staying with friends rather than a hotel. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with all the essentials you’d need for a relaxing stay. It’s perfectly located for exploring Oakland and nearby areas—super easy to get around by public transit or car. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Bay Area, whether traveling solo, with family, or on a weekend getaway. I’ve already planned my next trip back—Highlander Motel is definitely my top pick.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Continental Lodge
The Continental Lodge is a hidden gem in Oakland—clean, well-maintained, and incredibly affordable. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and hassle-free. We appreciated their warm welcome and quick assistance with any questions we had. While the neighborhood is still evolving, we felt safe throughout our visit. Our car stayed securely parked overnight with no issues at all. For a reliable, budget-friendly option in a city where good deals are hard to find, this motel stands out. Highly recommend for travelers looking for comfort without the premium price.
International Casa Hotel
This place is a complete disappointment and doesn't even meet basic hotel standards. The photos online are misleading—nothing matches what you actually get. Upon arrival, we found no towels, no shower curtain, not even a chair in the room. The heater didn’t work at all, making the space uncomfortable, especially in cooler weather. Parking was chaotic and extremely difficult to navigate. The overall condition of the property felt outdated and poorly maintained. I wouldn’t recommend staying here under any circumstances—avoid it completely if you want a decent experience.
