Top Oakland Museum of California Hotel Reviews

Jack London Inn

10/10 Excellent

"When I got there the lady at the front desk (Beatrice) was the best. I slept so good . The beds where soft but firm the trains that go by is so pleasant . As a young boy I used to fantasize I was a train operator. That’s what the train horn did for me. It brought me back to my childhood. They have complimentary breakfast which I needed . It’s not fancy but it’s healthy and so gracious in given time the customers a sure time to eat. So if you are budgeting or spending money like it’s nothing …this business has my support and I will be back . Thank you Jack London Inn"

Marina Village Inn

"Odd bathroom design with no electrical outlet and one hook (where hanging towels cover the light switches)"

Courtyard by Marriott Oakland Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Location is a block from the 12th Street BART Oakland Station so easy access (two stops) to San Francisco & back. Hotel is showing its age, the WiFi is horribly slow but rooms are renovated plus the water pressure in the shower is divine! Great alternative to the expensive accommodations in SF. Downtown Oakland is right outside this hotel, there’s coffee shops & restaurants within 2 blocks all around plus you have Oakland Chinatown & it’s many eateries, markets & bakeries a block away!"

"Great hotel. Highly recommended"

Rodeway Inn Alameda-Oakland

Continental Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"On a Sunday night when all decent hotels were around $400 per night, I found this motel with only $150, hoping for a decent bed. Surprisingly the room was large, bed and pillows very good. Very clean, Bathroom had a tub, nice towels and all you need for shower. Good coffee in the room. The staff was very helpful and friendly."
