Getting to the Oakland Coliseum
The Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum sits about 10 minutes south of both hotels at 7000 Coliseum Way. On a two-night stadium run, the smart move is to leave the car at the hotel and ride over — the Coliseum is one of the easiest venues in the Bay Area to reach without driving.
Hotel Addresses
- Executive Inn & Suites — 1755 Embarcadero, Oakland, CA 94606
- Best Western Plus Bayside Hotel — 1717 Embarcadero, Oakland, CA
Getting There
- BART — The Coliseum station is directly adjacent to the venue via a pedestrian bridge. Catch it from nearby Fruitvale station and you'll skip the parking lot entirely, coming and going.
- Driving — About 10 minutes down I-880. Venue parking is available for a fee, fills early on concert nights, and empties slowly after the show.
- Rideshare — Widely available, with designated pickup areas. Expect surge pricing when 40,000 people leave at once.
Before and After the Show
Jack London Square is minutes from both hotels — waterfront restaurants, Yoshi's, and the Bay Trail make for an easy pre-show afternoon. Afterward, you're a short ride from a quiet room on the water instead of a long haul back across a bridge.

Great Hotel Excellent location & Views, Friendly staff
"The Hotel is superb, great location by the riverside with nice views and balcony. The staff were all friendly and courteous. Our bedroom was large and had all the facilities we needed, including microwave, fridge, coffee/tea maker, TV, and free internet etc. wonderful. There was free transport by the hotels minibus to rail station, town and even the local bars. Buffett breakfast had plenty of choice and was available in the dining room overlooking the river.
Free newspapers/cookies on the reception counter, Wonderful. The hotel didn't have a bar, which was a shame, but there was a local bar 10-minute walk away. Overall a really pleasant stay and we look forward to returning one day."
A belated, but not less sincere thank you for the great stay we had at the Inn!
"We had a fine and very comfortable room with a view, one that presented no problems for my wife while using her walker. The complimentary continental cuisine (I just could not resist that) for breakfast was right up there with the best we have experienced in out travels and the atmosphere was certainly relaxing.
A point really appreciated by people such as we, plucked from our beds at an earlier than usual hour! And we must make special note of the shuttle service. That is really a great feature. We were able to go where and almost to the minute, when we wanted. It eliminated the need to rent a car and promptly get lost (it has happened!)
Your staff was also efficient and friendly and that certainly is important for tourists. Then there was the friendly personal attention you gave us, we certainly felt like honored guest!
I would like to express my gratitude for your presence at our Enlisted Person and Civilian of the Quarter recognition breakfasts!
We greatly appreciate your ongoing support of the Coast Guard. Our quarterly recognition event is one way we honor our loyal and productive members. Once again, I would like to thank you and the Executive Inn & Suites for their generosity. We look forward to continuing our relationship as community partners."
