"The room is spacious, very clean and nice view. Breakfast was excellent. Check-out time of Noon is more than acceptable. With the exception of the bed sheets, as I am accustomed to 450 or over thread, I'll have to bring my own silk sack."
"We stayed at the Executive Inn for 4 nights, as it was recommended by our friend who was hosting a number of events over an extended weekend. There was a mix-up (or a misstep) upon our arrival - the room we booked was not available even though I had booked it way in advance, given a deposit, reconfirmed the night before, and alerted them that we'd be arriving from the airport late.
There was no indication that we wouldn't be getting the Deluxe King Waterview room. In any case, the staff remained professional and did everything they could to get us to the correct room the next day. (The other King room they gave us for the first night was still water view but it was smaller and didn't have a solid wall between the bedroom and bathroom vanity area - not ideal.)
After that minor glitch, our stay went very well. All the staff, including manager Miguel T and various other employees, were welcoming, very accommodating and gracious. (By the way, when we called down to the front desk to get the internet code that first night, personnel who answered the phone seemed to know about our situation and apologized again, assuring us that things would be taken care of first thing when the manager arrived. Nice touch.) I'd read TA reviews about the staff and I was very glad that those glowing reviews were true!
Since the property is in the middle of renovations, I do hope they consider upgrading their so-called gym. It was a very small room with a treadmill, I think a bike, and multi-purpose machine. I couldn't imagine trying to work out with another person in the room - it was just too small with limited equipment and would get stuffy quickly.
Otherwise, the hotel was a good choice due to its courteous staff, fine breakfast, free Internet, and pretty water view. I would stay here again when I'm next in the area."
"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."
