Top West Oakland Hotel Reviews

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Visited from NY, great hotel!"

The Pickwick Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff was nice and the property was neat but they didn’t have the 2 bed room that we booked on the first night so we had to move rooms in the middle of the stay. One night of parking was comped, which was nice. The property was a bit outdated and you could here guests in other rooms but over all it was a nice stay"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

8/10 Good

"The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was beautiful and clean, with the amenity of having a coffee shop, restaurant and convenience store on site. The only complaint I have is this: When I tried to use the computer in the lobby to print out my airline boarding pass for the next day, I was told that it was too old to complete this task. So, I went to the main reception desk, and they printed it out for me. Much appreciated!"

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good

"Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was the best I've ever had at a hotel. Hotel was very clean and I didn't notice a single bug anywhere (I've stayed at some bad hotels in the past and this is important) Location was excellent. It was a great stay overall. Now for the negatives,... Air conditioner was very noisy and didn't seem to get cold enough, toilet seat seems to be coming off hinge, the outside pool was not heated and the worst thing for me is they charge an extra $165.00 at check-in. It's more than a little annoying when you think you've paid in full and arrive to find out you still have to pay for some hidden fees."
