Oakland Lake Merritt Hotels

"I am satisfied with everything."

"Lobby area was decrepit. Parking was filthy and full of pigeons defecating all over parked cars. Hotel room had blood stains in the carpet, no soap in the bathroom, no towels. All throughout the night there was constant talking and doors slamming. Looked as if pool hadn’t been used in many years. Spend the extra money for a better hotel."

"bed was comfortable and the linens were nice"

"This was a very nice hotel and the price I secured was very pleasing to my budget. I was able to visit the Bay Area and not break the bank. The hotel was close to the Jack London Ferry stop so it was an easy quick ride to San Francisco. Also the hotel is only a short walk from the BART stop, to get to and from the San Francisco Airport, so you can save a ton of money using public transportation, no new for rentals or Ubers. The only drawback was that it was not many places that were opened downtown on the weekend for food but I was able to find some good eats in walking distance from the hotel at the Oakland Street Food Cafe, great food. I would highly recommend this property and would stay again if I visited the Bay Area. Its both affordable and convenient to get to. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful."

"Perfect stay. Stumbled upon this hotel last minute but it turned out to be everything we needed. Clean room, comfortable bed, close to the water for an evening stroll. Good products to clean 48hrs on a train away. Tea, coffee, and a couple snacks to fuel todays train journey. Plus close enough to walk to the Alameda free water taxi to walk to Oakland Jack London train station. We will definitely stay again. "

"Very clean and "

"The hotel was not clean and difficult to enter due to security gating. "

"We requested a handicap accessible room. When physically checking in, they said the current occupants extended their stay and it was no longer available. The room we had was filled with the smell of secondhand smoke (non-smoking room) and there was a live cockroach."

"Lovely accommodations, large room with view. Comfy bed, lounge sofa in windows, very relaxing. Friendly, knowledgeable staff everywhere. Restaurant breakfast and dinner were delicious. Excellent chef and great waiters and waitresses. I highly recommend staying here. Easily accessible location. "
