Top Uptown Oakland Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"It is only missing a real coffee bar."

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this quirky hotel. In the perfect location close to Pier 39 trams and cable cars. Staff very helpful. Love the games room and the outside entertaining area with the fire pits. Our room was a little noisy with the person above us walking around non stop. But other than that would definitely stay here again."
