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.

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.

Oakland Airport Arena Hotel
My stay at this hotel in Oakland was mixed. The main issue was the room key and lock system— it didn’t respond properly, which forced me to request a room change, causing some inconvenience. There’s no breakfast included, which was surprising, especially for travelers who prefer starting the day with a meal. The elevator feels outdated and occasionally acted up during use. Unfortunately, maintenance staff aren’t available after a certain time, so any issues late at night had to wait until morning. That said, the night front desk team was friendly and approachable— they made the experience more bearable. The location is convenient, just a short walk or ride from the airport, which is great for early flights. Overall, while the hotel has potential, improvements in basic amenities and after-hours support would make a big difference.
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.

The price is a bit on the higher side, but considering it's located right in downtown Oakland, that makes sense.
