Top Oakland Museum of California Hotel Reviews

Executive Inn & Suites Embarcadero Cove

Oaktown Roost

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Highly recommended"

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."

Spacious Home in the heart of the Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay overall was enjoyable, and the inside of the home was definitely the highlight. The property was spacious, and worked great for our family. The kitchen was a major plus and large enough to comfortably accommodate multiple people cooking together, which made family meals easy and enjoyable. The layout and indoor space were very well designed for groups and families.The only downside was the outside surrounding street. It was a plus that the property came with three driveway parking spaces. Unfortunately, the neighborhood felt a bit sketchy at times, and the rooms facing the street were awakened several times during the early morning hours due to street activity and noise outside the home. If you’re mainly planning to enjoy the house itself, it’s a solid option."
