Drivers and value hunters get the most from this one. Guests point to easy freeway access, and the property lists a pool, a gym, a terrace, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning, which is a decent set for the price.
It is less suited to travellers without a car who want to walk to most sights. Only one of the nearby landmarks in our data is within half an hour on foot. If walking matters most, our Best Value pick downtown is closer to the Oakland Museum of California.
Location and getting around
You will find it at 1755 Embarcadero, by the water. Guests like the setting and mention easy access to the freeway and to ferry services. The location score is 8.4.
Straight-line walking estimates: the Oakland Museum of California is about 2.2 km away, roughly 28 minutes. The San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge and California Memorial Stadium are both about 9.6 km, roughly 120 minutes on foot. Those two are far, so you will need public transport or a taxi to reach them.
There is a daily parking charge according to guests. Check the current rate before you arrive.
What guests say
The score is 8.3 out of 10 from 657 reviews, the largest review base of our three Oakland picks. On score alone it ranked joint 7th of 9 eligible properties, so it is solid rather than outstanding.
Praise centres on two points. The waterfront location with quick freeway and ferry access is one. The other is the team: guests describe friendly, professional staff at the front desk and the bar who give a warm welcome.
The recurring complaint is about value. Room rates are seen as affordable, but the daily parking fee adds to the total. If you are driving, factor it into your comparison.
