What guests think

At Executive Inn & Suites Oakland, guests often praise the friendly, accommodating staff and relaxing waterfront views, while noting that freeway-facing rooms can be noisy and the surrounding industrial area with homeless encampments may feel unsafe at night.

Many find the rooms spacious and comfortable, especially on the water side with balconies, though some mention dated decor, musty odors, and occasional maintenance issues. Breakfast and the on-site bar and restaurant earn frequent compliments, but dinner hours and hot-tub or pool upkeep can be inconsistent. Expect a scenic, comfortable stay if you choose a waterfront room and plan to drive or rideshare.

It was a great staying two days at the hotel. Good for the prices, nice welcoming at the front desk , pool was dirty , continental breakfast was really good a variety food. The door keys seem to get un programmed . We got stuck in the swimming pool área because our key did not open the door but they helped us fast . I will stay here again.

Hours for the bar were a little limited (10pm on fri/sat) for me personally and obviously not the Hotels fault but since a bartender was sick the service hours were cut even shorter. I want to compliment the staff, everyone was wonderful and attentive.

We booked this hotel specifically for the hot tub. After checking in we find out it was out of service. During check-out we asked the front desk person if they could at least knock off the parking fee for the inconvenience. They said no and that it’s been known the hot tub was out of service. What great customer service. What’s more is she gave me the business card of the owner and suggested I contact him for my request but that it would most likely be rejected. Left a bad taste, probably won’t be back.

Helpful and friendly staff, decent restaurant and bar. Has a pool and hot tub, could be warmer. Aside from that it served its purpose for the price. Seem to safe enough for Oakland and is not associated with the executive hotel next to the airport, which is a terrible property to stay at in comparison.

The hotel itself was fine -- room was clean and nice enough, bed was comfortable, etc. The main reason I was unhappy with my stay has to do with parking. The hotel charges $17 per night for parking (this fee is buried way, way down at the bottom of the information on the Hotels.com page -- you wouldn't see it unless you were really reading all the fine print). This $17 fee is a TOTAL RIP-OFF, because the parking is not in a secure garage or even a secure lot -- it's just an open parking lot, in a not-so-safe area of Oakland (I know Oakland well because I used to live there, so I knew what the area was like -- just wasn't expecting to be charged $17 to park in an unsecured lot in an area where you really can't leave ANYTHING in your car without a fairly significant risk that your window will get smashed in). I had a LOT of my belongings in my car because I'm currently on an extended road trip, so I had to lug all my things up to an upper-floor hotel room because it's unsafe to leave things in your car. So I was pretty pissed off when I was charged $17 for parking. It's not like this is a downtown area or other place with expensive land where a charge like that would make sense. It's basically just a big rip-off, and the Hotels.com site doesn't display that additional fee prominently enough in the hotel pricing that guests are likely to be aware of it before booking. I regretted making this booking and wish I had stayed elsewhere.

Staff was great, especially Kim. Clean, nice facility with good breakfast. Paying $17/night for open lot parking seems steep. Close to freeway and not far from a marginal area, but still a gem by the water. Recommend paying for the bay view side. A great choice for the area.

The hotel is beautiful and updated. The room was very comfortable, and the view was exceptional. We really enjoyed our night, and sat out on the balcony to have a glass of wine while we looked at the Bay Bridge and the San Francisco skyline in the distance. Right now the restaurant is closed for dinner on the weekends, but we bought burritos at the taco truck out front, which were great.

Room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. I didn’t like the parking charge, but there was overnight security for the vehicles that I appreciated. Our room was noisy since it was right next to the freeway and our window didn’t open. We upgraded for the rest of our stay (for a nightly fee) to have a room on the water side with a balcony and slider door. The room was a little bigger too I think. Breakfast was good with a lot of options, hot food as well. Ended a little early, at 9:00 am so we had to rush a bit in the morning.

Great value, super clean hotel, great views, awesome service, delicious breakfast! Special shout outs to Kim and Maria at the front desk. They both went above and beyond to make sure that we were well informed and well taken care of. Kim answered all of our questions and Maria made extra arrangements for us to get a more appropriate room. I can’t say enough about how helpful they were. One request… please bring back the On the Rocks drinks as part of the front desk bar. Also, so sorry to see the price increase for the great salmon and steak dinners. As I have said in prior reviews, those dinners were the best deal in all of Oakland! Very high quality made to order meals for a super reasonable price!

Overpriced. The worst part was we got there later in the evening. Our toilet did not flush. It was slow. We didn’t want to bother requesting for a different room as it was late and we were tired. Outdated. Furniture in the room and the lobby could use replacing. Just worn out and dirty. This is an old motel. We paid $250 for one night. I can’t believe how highly this place is rated. Low standards by other guests maybe? The “free” breakfast? Who knows… We informed the front desk and housekeeper about the toilet…the response was “meh!”

Where do I begin?.. I checked in reservations were for a room with double beds side by side. They put me in a room with bunk beds. Literal bunk beds. I figured that they must have had a reason for this I.e., the rooms that more accurately matched my selected choice (side by side double beds) were for whatever reason not up to par therefore when I called front desk to inquire I asked if I could see the room they were moving me to. She told me no they do not allow me to see it first. I found that strange but I just went with it. They moved me to a side by side bed room. Immediately I realized the room had an awful stench. I turned on the AC and immediately began itching. I opened the blinds to open the window and the windows were bolted shut. I couldn't open the windows. As I raised the blinds the itch turned to burning. My nose and my eyes immediately started burning and watering. I saw mold all around the window seal. The bathroom was completely out dated and filled with mold spores. The whole room was a Petri dish of mold and bacteria. When logging into the wifi I saw a network connection which read, “We LOVE H**KERS,” there were summers eve packets (women douches) in the second bed. It was the absolute WORSE experience I've had yet. Needless to say I booked for two weeks. On the morning of day three I called the front desk and shared my experience and requested a refund. I was told that so long as I check out before 11AM the hotel would refund the remainder of my stay.

After a long travel day we arrived exhausted and eager to retire. The front desk staff person was very personable, giving us a room on the first floor. Note we reserved water view and were given a small room overlooking the fenced pool. We returned to the front desk and after some discussion were given a room on the 3rd floor which had our water view. But.... we couldn't get in because the keys did not work. We went downstairs, the keys were reprogrammed and we thought, finally! Still an issue, so maintenance was called. We waited at the door for 10-15 minutes since the only person who could assist was helping someone else. I was insensed, returned to the front desk sharing I was 81 years old, it had been a long day and my back and legs were sore and had enough! Finally the lock was fixed and we were able to get into our room. On a positive note the room was lovely, the view was lovely, the bed was comfortable and the shower was good.

The pool was heated which was nice! The area around the hotel was not nice and there was a major highway across the street making it noisy. A homeless encampment was also nearby which was not mentioned and may have changed our decision to stay there. The water view room was so nice though! Definitely way better than the city view of a highway and dirty area.

Oakland has a not-so-great reputation (somewhat underserved). But this hotel is located in a unique place next to a channel and fishing pier separated fairly conclusively from Oakland proper by a freeway and railroad track. That's not a bad thing because over the freeway and railroad track is a quasi industrial area with scattered homeless tent cities. Nevertheless, the freeway and railroad tracks are an effective barrier against street hassles. I rather stay here than in San Francisco city. BART and the highways allow access to Silicon Valley, Napa, and Marin without the horrific traffic jams near the city. By the way, Oakland has some excellent black southern and creole food as well as BBQ . . . don't knock Oakland till you've tried it!
