Top Uptown Oakland Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"The breakfast buffet is amazing."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Its at a great location with awesome views of the bay and marina but you have to drive a little ways to get to a store but there are couple good restaurants in the marina. The restaurant at the motel is not one of them and we considered it less than average after having dinner there. Staff is very friendly and helpful and its much easier to park then if you go to San Fransisco and safer then SF."

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Our favorite place to stay in East Bay! Staff is ALWAYS helpful, even through the busy holiday weekend. The young lady during the day shift always has great restaurant recommendations and the evening ladies are super friendly too. The property is admittedly dated, but the rooms are always clean and the staff more than makes up for it ."

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It was our 3rd time staying here. It's the only hotel I stay at when I come to SF. The staff are always friendly, helpful, and they make me feel welcomed, which hasn't always happened in the past with other hotel staff. Love they have they're own parking garage. We've never had issues with a brake in. I highly recommend staying here and will continue to stay there in the future!"
