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.

Very Satisfied
"We stayed at the hotel multiple times during January - February of this year due to the unexpected illness and hospitalization of my mother, at a nearby hospital.
I would like to compliment the General Manager on the wonderful staff you have. My mother passed away in February, but I will always remember the compassion and heartfelt concern your staff showed at a very difficult time in our lives, especially Mardy and Doris. They both exemplified the true meaning of customer service. Being from out of town, we stayed multiple times over a two week period and the accommodations and service were always excellent!
Definitely will stay there again. Absolutely enjoyed my stay in this beautiful waterfront hotel.
Comfortable room, friendly staff, great shuttle service and much more. Especially loved Mardy, who is kind, helpful, professional and friendly. Definitely will stay there again if I go back to Oakland!!"
It is a gorgeous hotel with warm and informative desk clerks.
"I came all the way from Saudi Arabia. My mother lives in Piedmont and is very ill so that was the primary reason for my trip. My suite was comfortable and peaceful and allowed me to relax after the stressful activities of dealing with care givers, doctors, lawyers and family members.
The service at Executive Inn was extra special. With all I had going on, I had to have an emergency orthoscopic surgery on my left knee 5 days after I arrived. The desk clerk, Kelly, went the extra mile to insure I could avail myself of all services and amenities. Kelly made sure I knew about the hotel transport to the hospital area as well as the dining areas at Jack London Square. This was important information for me while I recuperating. I am very grateful for her professionalism and for going the extra mile to see that I had the available support and awareness for associated amenities.
The room, suite was comfortable, functional with spacious bath and living areas and a beautiful and peaceful view. It is an exceptional value for the money. The best parts of the my stay was the personalized service and the very comfortable and beautiful room! I will definitely stay here again and I am signing up for the Executive Rewards Club."
Absolutely Amazing sorry to be leaving!
"What else can a hotel do for you. From the moment we arrived at the Airport we where collected by the free shuttle service, which doesn't just do shuttle runs and taken to the Hotel.
During the 10 minute drive to the hotel it was like having our own tour guide the lady asked us our plans and what places we where going to visit. With this information she then told us what we needed to do when we needed to do it an where we needed to be.
Once we arrived at the hotel the same lady then handed us over to the front desk who couldn't help us enough. We were given timetables for the ferry from Oakland to Pier 41 and given a time that the free shuttle would take us.
The room was a double queen with everything we needed as a family of 4, a fridge , microwave and the TV, not that we used it during our visit.
The amenities at the Hotel matched the test of the review, outstanding. A small menu in the bar for hot food and a small shop just behind the reception, which didn't rip you off.
Everything works in this hotel from the complementary breakfast to the free shuttle saving us a small fortune in taxi fairs.
Lastly the staff, these guys are so helpful, kind and the willingness to help leave other hotels we have stayed at miles behind.
Thank you all at the Executive Inn and Suites. We are already planning our return trip next year."
