i was headed from north carolina out to oakland for a conference. as a vegetarian i wanted to make sure they served veggie dishes. so i called. "what? no restaurant? oh no, are there any nearby? then she easily explained what kind of food each one served and prices, and the driver would drop me off and pick me up.... More

Fraudulent and greedy When I checked in, I told the front desk that I need a quiet room for good rest, and then they sent you to the nosiest room.. when I complained they said you need upgrade to “waterview” to pay $20 more per night , Ok, the online reservation did have option to choose “cityview” or “waterview”, the...

I received a great rate on this place and thought I would stay for one night while on a layover. This place is very outdated. We are talking the 80's called and they would like their decor back. The kid at the counter wasn't sure if he was sending me in the right direction for our room and when we... More

The hotel was very nice. I originally walked into what was called the Bayside hotel and come to find out the prices were a little more expensive than what I was looking for and went next door to Executive Inn, which was explained to us as the sister hotel.

The facility was clean and with a waterside room, very quiet and peaceful. There is a walkway along the water that leads to a brewery with average food but good beer. It is also not far from Jack London Square. The breakfast had the usual offerings including a waffle station. I appreciated they had real ceramic bowls for my oatmeal,... More

The hotel is great and just what I expected from browsing all the reviews on here. Breakfast was more than what I expected as there were hot items which... More

I was looking forward to this place - it had received several great reviews on the Priceline site. Alas, they stuck me on the highway side instead of the ocean side, and they put me in a damp, warm room with a jet-engine-sounding air conditioner and a TV that wouldn't bring in all the advertised channels, and those that it...

This was the place recommended by the organizers of the conference at which I was speaking, so I reserved a room here. I appreciated not having to have a car (they were very gracious about offering rides to the conference center at Laney College and back to the airport when I did have to pick up the car after the...

The customer service was good with friendly and knowledgeable staff. I found the location a bit challenging and not easy to navigate. The room was clean but had older furnishings and a overly firm bed. I stay in Oakland frequently and thought I'd try somewhere different. Unfortunately it didn't work out as well as I had planned.
