Prime address on the venture-worthy San Francisco Bay (pro tip: snag a house bike so you can cover more ground).

Right on (you guessed it) the waterfront, with "The City" just a 20-min ferry ride away.

The name doesn’t lie – you’re right downtown, an easy train ride from San Francisco.

Spread tired wings in the suites: bedrooms with French doors, separate living rooms and fully equipped kitchens. Talk about homey.

Close to I-880 as well as restaurants and shops in NewPark Mall.

Only 5 min from the airport, but don’t start hoofing it – hop on the free shuttle!

Craftsman-inspired design, Bath & Body Works amenities and free WiFi all score big bonus points with us.

Warm, gooey cinnamon rolls at the complimentary hot breakfast make our morning.

Victorian-style décor (with modern updates, natch) pays homage to this historic stunner-turned-lodging’s history.

Indie-chic with urban flair (we heart the city scenes on the walls).

Apartment-style suites are large and modern.

Not far from cool spots like Ardenwood Historic Farm, yet boasts a low-key locale in the ‘burbs.

Thanks to BART (rapid transit, not Simpson), San Francisco, Walnut Creek and Pleasanton are just a ride away.

Nice stopover conveniently situated directly off I-80, minutes from UC Berkeley.

Hotel pool is prime for relaxation or exercise.

These spacious rooms are quite comfortable, but the coziest asset by far is the extensive pillow assortment.

I-580 is right there & Oakland International is just 15-min away; hit snooze a few more times (those Serta-Elite Plush beds can be convincing, right?).

Just half a mile from rapid transit, which will take you downtown in no time. Plus, UC Berkeley is a couple blocks away.

Close to I-880 for easy access to shops, restaurants & local attractions.

Surrounded by restaurants, shops and a movie theater, so there’s no going to bed hungry or bored.

Right off I-880 near shops and restaurants galore and minutes from Ohlone College.

Relaxing outdoor pool and hot tub welcome you back after the day's activities.

Totally measures up: less than a half-mile from the airport.

Just a 10-min drive from downtown Oakland and close to tons of shops and restaurants.

Free breakfast! Yes, there’s coffee.

We're suckers for freshly-baked cookies, so we're pretty pumped to see them in the lobby every day.

24-hour Pavilion Pantry keeps cravings at bay, night and day.

All rooms are, indeed, suites, with plenty of space and a modern feel.

Comfy spot in the suburbs within range of Oakland airport and nearby wine country.
