Great hotel!
"We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights and we loved it so much. We had a junior suite and it was adorable large spacious with a lovely and so enchanting bathroom; the bed was comfy and everything it was perfect the room was very very clean and it's the really really important!
The breakfast was very good and there was a free coffee, hot chocolate for all day in our building and we appreciated a lot. We choose this hotel for visiting San Francisco and we think it's a great idea because: it's most convenience than San Francisco's hotel you can reach San Francisco in 10 minutes by car. Parking and breakfast is free and it's very cheap but very very nice hotel. We love this hotel!"
The view was amazing!
"Stayed at the Executive Inn and Suites for well over a year on a weekly basis and I never had a bad experience! 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."
Low Price, Great Stay!
"Finally I’m giving reviews from my California trip in May, my first stay was from May 19 to May 22 the Executive Inn and suites in Oakland less than a 15 minute drive from the city of San Francisco taking the Bay Bridge.
I made the decision of staying here because the attractive price was less than 50 percent of the Hotel properties in the city of San Francisco and believe me I made the best financial decision.
This Hotel is a quite property but don’t be fooled it was almost fully booked, there is plenty of parking spaces and the area seemed to be safe. The property is located near the bay in an inner harbor in front of small island called Alameda are so it has beautiful views, I got lucky having those views.
The staff is friendly and the rooms and rest of the Hotel property was very clean including the bathroom; a major plus for me. The AC worked perfectly at the desired room temperature. All my family loved the complimentary breakfast offered in the property the menu was very extensive. There’s also a small convenience store inside the property in case you want a midnight snack.
Overall this is the perfect Hotel Property if you want to save a couple of hundred dollars if your going to visit the San Francisco-Oakland area."
