Hotels near Toll Plaza Beach, Oakland

I came here to meet my friend since we're in different hotels for the sales force event. My friend told me that Sonesta Hotel has a bar. First night was great until Gerrardo started talking to women from a different ethnicity how much he hates American women that we were garbage. I felt really angry. And when the 3 ladies across from me and my friend confront him he walked off... The other bartender Alice all I can say is amazing one of of kind person that's funny and can keep a crowd entertained. Second day same bartenders Alice and Gerardo. Let you tell you again was the same story but, instead of Garardo putting women down he started to talk down Chinese people while he was talking to a Japanese group telling them that Japan is number 1 that Chinese people are thieves that China steals Japanese people idea. I felt offended because I'm Chinese. And also that Gerardo smelled like so much alcohol that you could tell he's been drinking. I'm giving only a 5 star rating because of Alice I saw how she kept the bar going people enjoying themselves laughing so my friend and I joined the fun and joined the bar. She even apologized for her co-workers behavior and bought us a free drink. I told Alice dont apologized for someone elses behavior. ALICE You are amazing. This is the first time meeting a actual Tomgirl. Thank you for sharing your food with me. If Alice is the permanent bartender this would be amazing. She's knows how women feel and how they like to be treated.

Great location for visiting our relatives. Front desk staff was helpful, and we appreciated that they had extra towels and toilet paper behind the front desk so that we wouldn’t have to wait for someone to deliver this to our room. Beds in our 7th floor room was surprisingly firm. Most hotels have worn soft beds. Bathroom is well designed considering it’s a small space. Bright lights and white walls with a modern shower reminds me of a deluxe cruise ship bathroom. Mini microwave in the room is a nice plus because the Trader Jo’s is right across the street. Free parking is a definite plus. And lobby area feels like a mini living room. At night, you need your hotel key to walk through the front entrance sliding doors as well as tap key to access elevator — great double security feature which I appreciated! And housekeeping staff were genuinely helpful and friendly.

The pros: Inexpensive Decent location Room has decent amenities The cons: Nonchalant service Smells like **** Limited breakfast options Lots of yelling Near the train No HVAC As mentioned above, this inn is a great location, with a great price, and you can tell they're trying. They had a fridge, a microwave, and a decently-sized TV in the room. More than I expected for $80~ish a night. The receptionists were what'd you expect at this price point, and the staff were mostly positive. Their breakfast options were also fairly limited, but if you were really hungry, it would do the job. While the HVAC system was broken, they did offer an extra portable heater that did the job. Unfortunately some things that they can't control really make the inn far worse than it tries to be. The behavior of their guests, their proximity to the train tracks, and the people yelling outside the hotel really affect the way guests experience the inn. Other guests were smoking **** that could be smelled all the way down the hall and in other rooms, and they were piling up so much trash they just started to leave it by their doors in the hallway. This is in addition to the fact that they were yelling and screaming, and the doors did little to muffle the sound. The yelling continued through midnight and kept waking me up throughout the night. This yelling came both from guests in the hallway and from people walking on the streets. I could also see how the room had been worn down by prior guests, with dents in the lampshade, stains on the carpet, and even though I could tell the cleaning staff put effort in the bathroom (towel folded into swan, etc), the light was malfunctioning. Thankfully, it didn't bother me much, but for those who aren't used to ”roughing it,” this might not be the place for you.

We chose this hotel because of the location for getting to the trolley, a Hop-on Hop-off tour stop, the local bus system, and the nearby BART system. For this it did not disappoint. The price is reasonable, and the hotel was very clean, and the staff was very friendly. From this, I digress. The noise level during the nights, was that a very loud level. All from external. Sirens, music, loud cars and trucks going by, garbage trucks in the middle of the night, quite a bit of yelling, and the like. Normal ear plugs did not help. If you stay here, you will need some heavy duty ear plugs. We get up earlier and the hotel lobby coffee was not ready ever before 7:00 a.m. there is coffee in the room, however if you need real creamer, you'll be out of luck until 7:00 approximately. Not a terrible review, just want people to be aware.

I booked in for 2 nights here as a solo female traveller. I had confirmation emails etc. as proof that I had booked a single room - I arrived at the hostel around 6.20pm on a Friday to find I had been placed in a large mixed dorm. The guy on the front desk was polite but totally unhelpful apparently under instruction from his manager. I offered to take any of the female dorms but was told all were sold out. I could not take the bed offered by them in the large mixed dorm, and they offered no like for like alternative. I was told that if i cancelled my stay/didn't check in I would lose my full amount paid as it was outside the cancellation period - they didn't grasp that within the cancellation period I was getting the room I booked, so it wasn't a cancellation on my behalf and was instead them not supplying what was purchased. I wasted so much time here to be offered no help while going through ********** customer support - I eventually gave up at 9:30pm when my employer forked out for a bed in another hotel for me. ********** were meant to get a full refund for me, as they failed to uphold their part of the sale, but 2.5 weeks later I've had or heard nothing from the hostel. To pay for something which is totally unavailable, with no budge room and no option for a refund, is a total scam. Do not book here as a solo female traveller as you will not be respected or safe.

Breakfast is good. In order to see the Warriors' game live here, I like the shuttle bus service. Because of the law and order in Auckland, it is quite late to watch the game. It is just that the hotel can pick up and drop off to watch the game and call to wait a few minutes to get there. If a person comes to the game, recommend this hotel.

It was convenient on the airport side. The type of room was different from the reservation, but it changed as soon as I told it. The original room was convenient near the front desk, so I stayed without changing it, but I apologized for the drinks and snacks!

Arrived at Oakland Airport from Honolulu at 11:30pm with a flight out the next day at 6:30am. Decided to make a reservation at the Holiday Inn and Suites Oakland Airport even though there was only a short stay. Called the hotel on arrival and asked about a shuttle, we were advised to get our bags and give a call back it would be about 5minutes. Good to their word, we got bags called and the shuttle with a wonderful driver/gentleman was there to pick us up and get us to the hotel within 5-10minutes. The desk clerk couldn't have been nicer and quickly got us checked in and the shuttle driver was kind enough to bring our bags to the room saving us the trouble. Knowing we had to be back at the airport by 5:30am we asked about the shuttle, no problem just be in the lobby 10minutes beforehand. It was amazing the room was very clean and comfortable, the wakeup call on time and at 5:15am the same shuttle driver got us back to the Oakland Airport in 5-10 minutes again taking great care of us and our bags. Terrific experience and wonderful service.

I came here because I was tired . I remembered being offered free breakfast but I was leaving before breakfast time . But thanks for the offer . It’s within walking distance to the bball arena and baseball park . And not too far from the airport . There are some other shops and restaurants around but I just stayed because I was tired . The bathtub was nice .

A good stay with helpful staff. Having 2 Kings beds in room meant our family of 4 could sleep more comfortably - most hotels have only queens. Only downside was some traffic noise from side of hotel our room was located. Airport shuttle is on demand and quick. It also stops at Car rental centre which was a Godsend when we arrived at Fox to pick up our car only to be told they could not honour our reservation as too many cars were returned with broken windows - a sorry reflection on the decay in California with petty crime out of control.
