5 Star Value!
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My wife and I recently stayed for 3 nights in a King Water Front Suite. The place was beautiful and clean. The breakfast was outstanding. The fancy coffee machine was great and better than Starbucks.

I can't say enough about the convenience of their shuttle. It takes you all over or to other transportation access. We had no need to rent a car. We took the shuttle to the Ferry to San Francisco and took the shuttle to BART to go to the Raider-Charger game. We even got a tour of Lake Merritt and downtown Oakland with the Director of Sales while he was driving us in the shuttle. They picked us up from Amtrak at 10 PM the night we arrived before we had even checked in and took us back to Amtrak after we checked out.

The Waterfront was quiet and relaxing while we weren't out running around. There was only one restaurant within walking distance, but with the shuttle that didn't matter. The staff was all very friendly and helpful and were very knowledgeable about the BART and Ferry schedule, etc. We were very pleased and have put this hotel in our list of contacts in case we need to stay in Oakland again in the future."
Would definitely recommend the Executive Inn & Suites to friends and business connections!
"Would definitely recommend the Executive Inn & Suites to friends and business connections!
Stayed at the Executive Inn and Suites for well over a year on a weekly basis and I never had a bad experience!

The entire staff of the Executive Inn and Suites were engaging and attentive to all the guests during my visits there. Staff are amazing, both at the desk, in hotel services, and in the bar/restaurant areas. The staff at the front desk always greeting me with a warm smile and called me by name. They provided me with information about shuttle services and restaurants anytime I asked. They also operate the shuttle service to and from the airport and other area businesses. In the maintenance and hotel services staff, if something was amiss in my room, they were prompt to address the issue. If I needed anything special, they were always responsive. And the staff in the bar/restaurant areas were a delight. They always greeted me with a warm and friendly smile. They even graciously addressed my special dietary issues. They made me feel like family, whether I sat at a table with a laptop working or sitting quietly in the bar area. I feel like I'm leaving family!!!

I experienced both the pre- and post-remodeling of the facility and it's very glamorous and comfortable. I was comfortable in the pre-remodeled facility, but it was a delight when the rooms were remodeled. The facilities were updated and are quite stylish and comfortable. I was fortunate to have a waterfront room, and the view was amazing! I took advantage of the pool and hot tub and again was quite pleased. I even used the workout area facilities. I was very satisfied with the physical property; even the outside area was well groomed and well maintained.

I led a team of 5 others and we all stayed at the Executive Inn and Suites - we had a delightful experience there and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. I recommend the Executive Inn and Suites without hesitation.

Room Tip: Even numbered rooms are water front views."
Anniversary Celebration!
"I stayed at the hotel for my wedding anniversary weekend. It was fabulous! The service was excellent. I made my reservation on line and made a special request in the comments section.

I received a phone call from the property the morning before my arrival acknowledging my request and letting me know they were looking forward to my arrival! The front desk staff, Victor, Michele, Brittany and Chennel were all very professional and very responsive to every request. Jorge our shuttle driver was a delight! The room was an upgraded renovated room with a bay view. Marvelous!

Breakfast was okay but plentiful and I appreciate that this offering helps make weekend travel more affordable. I will be back and if the service stays at the exceptional level I won't even think of staying elsewhere. I had lots of fun and felt really taken care of at this property. There was obvious renovation going on at the time but it did not detract from the experience at all.

Room Tip: Bay view is beautiful and the bed in the newly renovated room was perfectly comfortable."
