"My husband and I stayed here before a wedding in San Francisco and had a wonderful experience! We were especially impressed by the service at the front desk - they was so helpful, courteous, and approachable. This hotel is super clean with comfortable beds and in a convenient location. We will definitely stay here again."
e’re proud to be #1 on TripAdvisor. That doesn’t mean we’re the fanciest hotel. But part of the reason is definitely those beautiful water views but more importantly, we care. We care about our guests and each other. We remember and embrace the term, “Team work makes the dream work.”
The Executive Inn & Suites was built in 1991 and expanded to a second building in 2003 (the second building was later changed to our sister hotel, Best Western Plus Bayside Hotel). We now work in tandem with our sister hotel next door, which is #2 on TripAdvisor.
Our hotels share a parking lot, swimming pool, Lounge and in many ways crossover team members. We’re family owned so we work as a family, caring about each other’s well being and feeling part of something that is greater than ourselves. That may be why some people have worked here over 30 years. We’ve even have several employees leave for corporate America, only to return because they like it here better. We feel this family environment keeps people happy and when they’re happy, that make better employees and better at serving you.
We truly can’t make the dream work if we don’t have the team work.
We are committed to give you the best value for your dollar. Sometimes rooms are more expensive because there might be a big concert in town or convention, causing us to be sold out. But we try to keep our rates fair and reasonable. We often use this rate strategy to try and capture new business because we’re one of the few independent hotels in a sea of big chains and brands with their loyal followers.

"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."
"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."
"I am a frequent business traveler to Oakland, and sometimes I stay there up to 4 nights a week. I had a great stay at the Executive Inn in Oakland, CA.
They have a great property with exceptional service for a good price. I have had a great experience. I really like the free shuttle service. It saves me allot of money. I also take advantage of the breakfast every morning. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone planning a stay in Oakland."
