Best Western Plus Bayside Hotel

TinaEh VangLee a month ago

The front desk employee was welcoming, nice and very helpful. We checked in quite easily as we did have reservation. Room: Clean! But the curtains did have some marks on it. Carpet had some tracks and dirt. Other than that, everything else was clean. The bathroom was clean and spacious. The toilet was an interesting experience as the toilet had its own room; you have to open the bathroom door and then another door to use the toilet in a 1 bedroom room. Other than that, the room was great. We had balcony view. The free breakfast is free. Dont have high expectations. Definitely lock your car as the area is a bit suspicious at night but thankfully nothing happened to our car. Location is excellent if you want to quickly get on the highway (and into traffic). There is no restauant or gas station near by so you will have to drive out some where to get food. Overall, a good hotel! we enjoyed our stay.

This property was built well and nicely reinforced all around. My room door was very solid and heavy and the entire building has a very good quality feel. Windows, elevators, doors, hallways, and flooring is good quality. Can’t hear neighbors, or guests walking around or the interstate freeway right nearby so long as the room is facing the water. I totally enjoyed this place. Picture is of very cute coffee house a block away in the Embarcadero.

The water-side rooms at the Best Western Bayside Plus in Oakland offer an idyllic getaway and serve as a destination for anyone—especially those seeking a brief reprieve from the noise and chaos of daily life. The team at the property is expert, welcoming, and inclusive, always going the extra mile to enhance your stay. The comfortable rooms and complimentary breakfast provide the perfect foundation for relaxation. Situated on an estuary, the Bayside Plus is a sanctuary for peace. The waters, sparkling like diamonds with the kiss of the sun, the gulls with their lovely calls, and the water travelers—whether slow motorized boats reducing their wake to minimize impact or those rowing in community—elicit a buffet of inspiration and emotion. In the gentle embrace of this waterside haven, one can truly reconnect with the serenity that resides within.

I have patronized this establishment about 4 times in the past year. $300 is too much to spend on one night when you can’t enjoy it. This last visit was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had with housekeeping ever. Check out is posted for 11am and for some reason rooms need to be vacated at dawn! At 9am, I was woken up by a knock then my door open and housekeeping is walking in. I had to yell that I’m still here and she left out. Then a little after 10am housekeeping starts knocking on the door again! At this time I’m pissed, because one time is an accident but twice is not a coincidence!! I contacted the General Manager by email and still no response back. I definitely wouldn’t recommend visiting this hotel to anyone that likes to sleep in while they are away from home.

What a lovely find! We wanted a room near the Oakland Scottish Rite for the Gaskell Ball. What we got was a huge room with a balcony overlooking the estuary with birds and a gorgeous sunset. The room was clean and in good repair. The bed was far more comfortable than a recent Marriott. It was quiet and the morning breakfast included an espresso machine and tasty cheesy eggs. Bonus points for free EV charging (2 stations!) that changed our morning plan from “find charger” to drive home without a stop. 100% would stay here again.
