Top Uptown Oakland Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"Property is well located and the amenities on site were very good. Nice bar and decent restaurant. Negative is always parking. Expensive and our vehicle was actually too tall for the garage that is only 5’8”"

Hyatt Regency San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, clean, quiet room with amenities like a noise machine and a very quiet quasi-refrigerator, quality water pressure, three speed fan. Check-in desk staff was particularly helpful when I needed them. This is a 4 star hotel for a reason. The location is wonderful for those who want to take public transportation on buses, trains, trollies, cable cars and ferries. All within walking distance. Did I mention there is a nice view of the bay from the rooms with a balcony? Recommended for everyone."
