"Indeed, the condition of the accommodation was unsanitary. The linens and blankets were tattered, with visible stains. The overall state of the place was extremely poor. Despite our complaints to the management, all they offered was a replacement set of linens and blankets, which were also unclean. We opted not to spend the entire night there and sought a refund. Regrettably, there is no mechanism in place for me to share photographic evidence of the numerous issues, including widespread mildew...

Top Oakland Zoo Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Oakland-Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was clean. Breakfast was great as expected. Server was excellent. (The front desk guy could be a little more friendly to female minorities) When I arrived at the airport I call him for the shuttle and he put me on hold for a long time I had to hang up. I waited 20 minutes then I saw a shuttle passing by and I flagged him down and ask him to drop me off at the hotel. On arrival at the hotel…this is the time the front desk person told me I had to pay $10 for the shuttle (it was not specified “for a fee” on your website. He said I should read all the details. Very condescending…he told me to show him where I saw it was included. Which I did. But he said I need to read the details again…at this time I chose peace and just wanted to be checked in. I stayed for two nights. The next day When I needed the shuttle he told me I need to scan a code and pointed to the front of his counter (all this was not told to me the day before when I checked in). I finally figured it all out and try my best to avoid any interactions with him. I met two other female front desk personnel they were nice and helpful. On my departure day I sat there to wait for the shuttle back to the airport and noticed him being very friendly with the white males guests. But when I asked him a question about the cancellation and rescheduling of the shuttle he tends to be a bit annoyed. Anyways…overall the stay was quite comfortable."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Oakland Airport

"Chose this for the proximity to the airport, though we drove in from the Central Valley. Safe location. Short drive to the Bay Bridge to get to the city, short drives to the ferry stops, too. Really convenient location. Slept our family of 5 comfortably, but were not used to sharing one bathroom. Extra towels and blankets were readily available."
