Also, 12pm checkout, always a plus for me. Insulation is terrible, whether it's conversations, the banging and vibrations of "stomping" coming from the ceilings, or what sounds like pipes and running water from other rooms or behind the walls, you can hear it all. But otherwise, a great hotel stay that met all our needs.

I stayed at this hotel for a few months and during this time Ms. Munoz made it a very uncomfortable stay. On multiple occasions Ms. Munoz refused to assist me but would happily assist anyone else right in front of me. On our last encounter I was downstairs requesting for my room key to be fixed, she took my keys away from me and refused to return them even after I told her I had medication to take. She further threatened to call cops on me for "disturbance" even though I was very respectful and civil the whole time and have videos to prove it. She then went further and called my landlord who is the one that booked the place for me and told my landlord I was downstairs acting crazy and being an issue. When I asked her why is she acting like this towards me she replied "because I'm the manager and I didn't add your name on the list for approved stay". Due to her lies and deformation I am not at risk of my landlord evicting me. All of this done for what ? If not discrimination and racism what else could it be ? I reached out to corporate and still await a response because Ms. Munoz need to be held accountable. If you are planing to stay here just be wary of Dora Munoz because with her it's her way or the highway.

No the rooms are not fancy but they were very cute and I had a beautiful view. The heater and ac worked great. Room service was great . I would describe this as a cute Boutique style hotel even though it isn't marketed as such. And the view?! Incredible and I had a good sized porch with a chair to enjoy. Zero criminal activity and dangerous parking lots like nearby hotels in Oakland that cost almost as much. The continental breakfast was small but I don't eat breakfast anyways. They have laundry machines that I did not use but definitely a plus. If you like to walk, you will love the location. It is safe, quiet and there is a Lucky's, restaurants, stores, etc. One thing to keep in mind is they do not have elevators so if you have heavy luggage you may want to opt for the first floor if possible.

I was traveling solo and that I only needed a room for 9-10 hours, I made a last minute decision to save $100 and switch from the Hawthorne Suites(very nice!) to this very budget situation. PROS: -Cheap, No bugs, cheap, beds were actually decent, cheap, hot water, free parking, cheap, good location to walk to eateries, bars and shops, cheap, fridge, cheap, microwave, cheap, very safe neighborhood(all of Alameda?), and did I mention its cheap? CONS: -Run down, very old, needs lot of new paint, needs a deep clean, needs to bedding(IKEA is very close by?), needs a little bit of artwork, there is a coffee machine but I didn't dare risk using it, I'll highly likely never stay here again, but would do so if I was in a lower income bracket.

Well, the someone came in, looked at it, said they couldn't remove the curtain and then left. I then went back to the front desk and asked for another room again. The man behind the counter then said ok. I confronted him by not giving me a new room in the first place and he immediately came up with excuses. He reluctantly gave me a key to the new room, and just like the old room, the curtains had black mold on them as well. We demanded our money back since neither of the rooms we stayed in were safe to sleep in and the front desk man said, "what did you expect for $90 a night?" Needless to say, save your money and don't stay here. It's a health hazard.

When I arrived at the hotel, if I recall correctly, I believe that I arrived early before the designated time to check into my hotel room. However, the woman at the front desk was nice enough to allow me to check in early into my hotel room. When I arrived at and in my hotel room, I liked my hotel room. The hotel room was spacious and clean. The hotel room had a microwave (which I did not use), but was a great amenity, nevertheless. The hotel room had a safe so that I can safely and securely store my valuables, which is something key that I look for when I stay at and in a hotel. When the safe was not functioning properly, I recall that I telephoned the front desk, and the woman that I answered the telephone promptly addressed the issue, and an employee from the hotel immediately arrived at and in my hotel room to repair the safe in my hotel room. The hotel is a relatively short walk from an eatery labeled "Brotzeit Lokal." This hotel did also serve complimentary breakfast, which was a huge plus. As a result, in general, and overall, I had a very positive experience at and in and regarding the Best Western Plus Bayside Hotel.

They actually had a room ready and let us check in one hour early. To keep this review brief, I decided to just give the pros and cons and add informative photos. Pros: comfy king bed, big closet, large safe, microwave, fridge, keurig, quiet room, open balcony, San Francisco Bay Trail below our balcony, large bath with separate shower, Exercise room with no free weights, Quench water machine, EV chargers, snack/drink machines, morning breakfast/coffee served (worth skipping). Cons: No USB ports in the room?! Hotel is fairly close to the sketchy side of town (homeless camp 200 ft from hotel). No cold bottled water for rewards members, no pool, no airport shuttle, carpeting instead of laminate flooring, paid parking, our thermostat was really glitchy and would not work. Added benefit: your hotel key gains you access to the Executive Inn and Suites next door. There you will find a small pool/hot tub. There's also a small bar that opens at 5pm (happy hour 5:30-7:30) and you can order food as well. A Monday night stay was $325 and they charge $17 a day to park in their lot next to Hwy 880, not in a garage. I thought the rate was fairly high considering it's not the closest hotel to the airport and it's in the sketchy part of town. Check out the photos.

If that's the case why hasn't it happened already? I left a Yelp review, Hilton review and booking.com review saying I was still charged for parking when my car was broken into. No mention about their cameras not facing the parking lots for guests as well as no mention of NO SECURITY in sight. Also we didn't leave valuables in our car which is completely insensitive to say nor were we warned about any breakins. It's oakland Ca of course we aren't going to just leave valuables so someone can break intonour car. The whole point of vehicle theft is obviously breaking in first to see if you can find anything. Whatever you do, DO NOT STAY HERE. You will regret it.

2.5 We stayed here…read morefor about a week this summer and it was ok. It was pretty cheap, plenty of parking in their private lot, and I liked that there was a kitchenette in our room and you could borrow pots and pans from the front desk. We really only needed the room to sleep so it wasn't absolutely horrible. However, it's severely outdated. The floors a very uneven and need redone, the balcony patio we had I wouldn't let my kids out on because the railing would have probably collapsed if you put weight against it. The patio lock was also extremely outdated and worn (it was a screw one but the thing was so worn it wouldn't have taken much for someone to break in). The internet was also not great, which led to a lot of frustration for our kids and we ended up just using our hotspot. It was clean but also extremely musty smelling. There wasn't mold or dirt everywhere but it definitely needs an overhaul and a lot of TLC from redoing the floors, to updating everything. Would I stay here again? Yes if we had to. Since it is cheap and we don't use our room when we go places for more than a place to sleep I wouldn't be opposed, but I'd also try to find somewhere better before I made a reservation here again. I did like that across the road there was a shopping center and Safeway so it was easy to grab snacks/groceries if we needed.

If I could give less than one star, I would. Hands-down, the…read moreworst motel I've ever stayed in. Dirty, stained and ripped carpets, curtains and furniture. The pool was closed for "health concerns"my entire stay. The continental breakfast made me puke literally. (Don't eat it. I think it's the cereal FYI.) The noise was horrible. There were people screaming and shouting in the courtyard all day and all night and kids crying. The decor is old outdated and half of it is missing.. literally picture hangers on the wall with no pictures. Knobs missing on cabinets, light bulbs out or lamps broken and not working, closet doors off the track, mysterious crusty things on the walls. The deck facing the water is decaying and possibly unsafe in the room we were in. The oven was disgusting. The linens looked clean, but the mattress was stained with brown who-knows- what, as well as the mattress pads. (I got a different room after finding that). Mattress was better in the second room, at least it didn't smell like dogs and cigarette smoke like the other room, but it was pretty awful. There was a broken lamp shade and a shattered small window in the kitchen. The coffee pot didn't work, dirty carpets, dirty furniture, ripped curtains, Very loud. I tried to get my money back through Booking.com and they would not do it. The front desk would not refund me either because I had a nonrefundable reservation. And I couldn't afford to throw away almost $300 and go stay in another spot so I decided to endure it. I switched my room on my third night because of the noise in the courtyard and got an upper level facing the street. There, the curtains were too short to close across the large front window and I could hear mice or rats scuffling around in the ceiling fan that didn't have a vent on it. It was cold that night and the heater did not work. I used to come here a long time ago because I grew up in this town, and it was pretty bad then, (but still the most affordable option and close to the beach) and it has went way way downhill since then. To make matters even worse, I left one of my favorite zipper hoodies behind in one of the rooms and the housekeeping department did not turn it in. My advice, do everything you can to stay away from this creepy and crawly motel. Stay at Hampton Inn and pay more .

I will recommend this place to those who are staying for a few days and don't wanna spend too much on a brand name hotel, but I do NOT recommend staying here if you cannot deal with the train horns all day and all night.

I struggled to make this reservation. I tried to change my reservation on Friday with my computer,…read morebut I couldnt see the modify reservation button. On Saturday, the day of my check-in I was tired so I tried to change it on my App to check in on Sunday instead. App showed that it was too late to modify. I called the hotel and Savannah gave me the real deal. If I don't make check in on the first day, I would lose the entire reservation. Now I don't know why I reserved a day in advance of the show, but here I am frantically getting ready and packing to make the last train into Jack London Square. And because of this, I arrived at 10:30 pm into Oakland. Now don't cry for me Argentina, I did alright walking at night to my hotel. Well because of my lateness, I paid the price and ended up getting what was left as far as hotel rooms. What I got was a room with no heater, no A/C, and no windows that could be open. My immediate thought, "Oh this is going to be one helluva Yelp review." Here's a tip, never ever get room 412. It's an ADA compliant room but it's really an uncomfortable and inconvenient room. The room had two portable box fans which i used one. Something was off with this room aside what I mentioned above. The room was kinda dark, the bathroom had one electrical outlet and the outlet was located on the light switch, and that light switch was next to the toilet. Yah, how in tha? The light switch had an off, auto, on feature and when I turned it on Auto, the light began to flicker after being still like I was in some type of horror movie. Well that defeats the purpose. Next I decided to take a picture of the box fan and when I looked at the picture, see pic below, you'll notice all these circles. What is that? Orbs? Spirits? I cleaned the back of my phone so what the heck is that? My ancestors? I began to look around and I noticed I was lacking the basics. Basics like a washcloth, a hand towel, hangers, I didn't even have a "Do Not Disturb" doorknob placard. So i went down to the lobby to ask for hangers and the front clerk said "No" and before I could ask anything else, she beat me to the punch and added, "I don't have any towels, soap, shampoo. All that is housekeeping." so when i asked for the "DND" placard she was surprised went to the back and brought me one. Now when i looked at it closer, it was dirty. Was this in the bathroom? I hope those are coffee stains. Thank goodness I had gloves and antibacterial wipes on me so I could clean this placard up before I put it on outside my door. Did i sleep? Maybe 2-3 hours with the light on. Yah, IDK something told me to leave the light on. It was low amber glow light maybe a 15watt. The outlets on the lamp didn't work. At 8am I went downstairs to ask if I could change rooms. Savannah was helpful and informed it was possible after 3pm. So now I'm off to have breakfast, get my nails done, do a little walking until then. This is just part I of II of this adventure. So I packed up my belongings, i headed down to check out of 412. My next room had A/C, heater, and windows that opened. It was on the second floor. Now, I never stayed on the second floor so I didn't know what to expect. I had asked if the room smelled like smoke. Savannah said it shouldn't, even though this establishment mandates a $450 fine for smoking in their rooms. I took my chances and the hotel key and made up to the second floor. Upon entry, the room appeared clean and bright. Hey I have one hanger, things are looking up. But that o.k. on the way back from getting my nails done, I picked up a 5 pack of plastic hangers. I immediately got my gloves, wipes, and began to wipe everything down. I got my lint roller and rolled over the bed linens and pillow cases. There's lint everywhere. Must be the vents. So now it's about 4pm and I remembered "The Oscars" I'm glad the TV worked and they had Direct TV as a cable service so I can listen to that in the background as I got ready for my yolosolodate. Oakland was alive tonight at the Oscars. Much love for Ryan Coogler, Rafaael Sadiqq, Zendaya, and Autumn Durald Arkapaw. When I grabbed the TV remote it felt different, when I turned it over I saw the duct tape. I laughed so hard when I saw this. Now, I know I'm in the Hood. Did I sleep? No, trains running all night long. They seemed louder on the second floor. Trains at 2:27am. This bathroom needs to get sprayed. I left the light on all night. I guess there really is No Sleep Til Brooklyn. See you some more on Yelp 2026.
