The 81-room Best Western Plus Bayside Hotel is a budget property with a waterfront location facing the Oakland Estuary. The hotel provides a free shuttle to Oakland International Airport as well as a free hot breakfast and a scenic lounge area with outdoor space that overlooks the water. There is a fitness center along with laundry facilities and a business center on-site, although they all feel somewhat dated. Rooms are clean and modern, if a touch generic, and offer conveniences including mini-fridges and microwaves. Some rooms face the water and have nice balconies. This hotel shares facilities with its neighboring property; guests have access to the outdoor pool at the Executive Inn & Suites next door. There is also a pretty walking path along the waterfront. Both Wi-Fi and on-site parking are free.

The two-and-a-half-pearl Best Western Plus Airport Inn & Suites is a modern hotel with attractive rates and amenities for travelers passing through nearby Oakland International Airport. It’s a short drive or free hotel shuttle ride offered 24/7 to the airport and to nearest BART station. However, its location is gritty and industrial, and best suited for brief overnight stays. Perks include a free hot breakfast buffet, indoor pool/whirlpool, fitness center, and guest laundry room. Upgraded in 2016, its 76 guest rooms are clean and well equipped with microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi. Rates are among the lowest around the airport, but the surrounding area is a concern for some guests. The nearby Best Western Plus Bayside Hotel has similar amenities and a lovely waterfront location, but rates are usually higher.

With a pleasant location on the Oakland Estuary, the 145-room Waterfront Hotel (a Joie de Vivre property) is in the center of sometimes-bustling Jack London Square. In the midst of shops and restaurants, this mid-range hotel has lots of style --- the chic folks at Joie de Vivre know how to do nautical. Rooms are smartly done up but somewhat worn, as are the bathrooms, but some rooms have wonderful water views. Steps from the ferry and not far from local transit, the hotel is an easy commute to San Francisco and the East Bay but far from major sights. It is, however, very close to the train tracks and accompanying noise. For a quieter (but more remote) waterside location, check out the Homewood Suites by Hilton Oakland Waterfront.

The pet-friendly, 132-room Homewood Suites by Hilton Oakland-Waterfront is a mid-range hotel on the water with magnificent ocean views throughout. While convenient to the airport, it's somewhat far from major tourist attractions. Cozy guest rooms have microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers, and many have balconies overlooking the water; suites with full kitchens are available. The free hot breakfast receives good reviews, and the bay-facing pool area has barbecue grills and seating. Wi-Fi, outdoor parking, and a local weekday shuttle are free. Common areas, including the lobby, breakfast area, and outdoor terrace were fully renovated in 2016.

With 454 rooms and meeting space galore, this upper-middle-range Hilton property caters to both business travelers and vacationing families drawn by its proximity to Disneyland and the Anaheim Convention Center. Business features like a stocked business center and 30,000 square feet of meeting rooms are impressive, while dining options are plentiful, and the pool and hot tub allow for a nice dip. Room decor is so-so and could use a refresh, but rooms are equipped with flat-screen TVs and coffeemakers, plus some have microwaves and mini-fridges. Wi-Fi costs a pesky fee, as does parking. A free shuttle to and from Disneyland is a nice perk, though by comparison, Hotel Menage has one too, plus a pool with views of Disney’s fireworks as well as free Wi-Fi and breakfast -- at a cheaper price.
