Residence Inn by Marriott Oakland Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Was super cute and clean!"

Executive Inn & Suites Embarcadero Cove

8/10 Good

"The view of the bay was great with groups rowing on the water jn the evenings. Staff was cheerful and helpful. Had to pay extra for parking. Real plates and silverware for breakfast was nice but the food was the usual instant eggs, etc. Didn't like the half shower door. Water got on the floor. And the open closet was a hazard. Accidentally walked into the clothes rod and bumped my head."

Kissel Uptown Oakland, in the Unbound Collection by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great hotel for people who want to explore the Bay Area. There’s a great restaurant on the main floor, with a beautiful bar, good food and great coffee. The Kissel Uptown is a short walk to BART where you can take a train to downtown San Francisco, both airports and nearby sporting events. The rooms are very nicely appointed and staff is very friendly and helpful. There is also a rooftop bar and restaurant that you can rent out for private events, I’ve been to an event there as well. Thank you Kissel Uptown"
