Hotels near Oakland International Airport (OAK), Oakland

We have lived there, so we know the ins and outs of this town. Be patient with traffic and bicycles and pedestrians. Expect somewhat higher prices as everything needs to brought in from somewhere else. There is no better place to have a family as the island is incredibly family oriented.

A cheat sheet with local places to eat would have been nice. For those of Us that are not familiar with the area it could be a little overwhelming. So a little knowledge goes a long way. It could helpi us feel more comfortable and safe. Unfortunately Per Appearances the surrounding area can feel a little rough, However at the hotel everything felt safe.

I was over charged $200 after specifically telling the clerk i paid on Bookin.com 2xs. She still charged me another $200 which I discovered when my card declined for dinner. (Not everyone has a lot of disposable income) I did not like have a room facing traffic although it did not bother me too much. The ceiling of the room was dingy. I could not find the remote and politely. asked for a new one. Upon my return I saw 2 remotes instead of 1. I think it was petty for the clerk to leave 2 remotes proving to me that I indeed did have one. They could have just taken the extra one and shook their head in silence, but someone felt the need to prove me wrong… The clerks were not welcoming at the hotel the day I checked in. It seemed like they had attitudes. The next day the clerks were much nicer.

The front desk staff were great. The bed was lousy. The mattress was lumpy and uneven and uncomfortable. Also, the fitness room was not accessible as it was being remodeled apparently. I was never told that when I booked the room.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Hyatt Place Emeryville and the way this billing dispute has been handled. I booked my stay through Booking.com (Confirmation Number: 6552063614) from May 15–19, 2026. However, I checked out early on May 17, 2026. At checkout, the hotel calculated my final balance, collected payment in full, and provided a final receipt and billing statement confirming that my stay had ended and all charges were settled. After I had already checked out and received a final paid receipt, an additional charge was processed without my authorization. This directly contradicts the final documentation issued by the hotel. When I contacted Hyatt Place Emeryville, I was told to resolve the matter with Booking.com because the reservation was made through a third-party platform. However, this response ignores the fact that the hotel itself accepted my checkout, finalized my account, and issued the final receipt. The disputed charge occurred after the hotel closed my folio. As a guest, I should not be caught between the hotel and Booking.com while both parties deny responsibility. The reservation may have been made through Booking.com, but the hotel managed the checkout process, issued the final receipt, and processed the charges. I am requesting that Hyatt Place Emeryville and Booking.com work together to investigate this matter, provide a detailed explanation for the post-checkout charge, and issue an appropriate refund if the charge cannot be justified. Until this issue is resolved, I cannot recommend this hotel due to the lack of accountability and the difficulty in obtaining a clear explanation regarding billing practices.

Alameda is a small town with all the amenities. Plenty of restaurant choices and places to see. The architectural stylings of the homes there are one of my favorite things to drive around and see. The weather is great.

The trip, the experience for my sister's Christmas dinner was great. The hotel. The Holiday Inn express airport, I would not recommend anyone to stay there. They have ants, thousands of ants and it was not addressed in a timely manner.

Castro Valley is a good place to base any trip to the Bay area. We were visiting family that live in Alameda and Castro Valley was only 25 minutes away (on a weekend) and had lots of restaurants to chose from.

The ladies at the front desk were great and efficient. The room was clean, spacious, and quiet. The waitress at The Grill could have used an extra hand. She was great and busy the entire time, but struggled keeping the tables cleaned for new guests at dinner.
