I was surprised to find that this hotel was rated at three stars. I was intrigued and looked forward to staying. I liked the hotel just fine. I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the room. It is larger than better rated more expensive hotels. The bed is comfortable, nice large flat screen tv in the room, complimentary wireless... More

The hotel is right beside the airport so it is a great place to stay before you fly. The hotel can pick you up at the rental car facilities or at the airport. The facilties were clean and the staff was pleasant.

This hotel makes business travel easy. Close to the airport, free ample parking, easy access to significant freeways to quick access to many of my customers. Short distance to the Bart station. The hotel is consistantly clean, and good repair. I have stayed here on nearly a dozen trips to Oakland

We stayed at the Oakland Holiday Inn Express so that we could catch an early flight the next morning out of the Oakland Airport. The hotel is very close to the airport, but we did not hear any airplanes flying over, possibly because we were on the middle floor, away from the airport side of the building. Overall it is... More

Free parking in a safe... More

We stayed for 1 night leaving our car for 7 nights - total tab was $209.79. The shuttle; we had to wait about 20 minutes for it to show up to the airport, and 10 minutes from the airport back after calling for a ride. The continental breakfast starts at 6:00am, so if you're leaving before 6:00 - you're too... More

We arrived at 4:30 am due to Amtrak being 12 hours late into Emeryville. HI Express was open and greeted us warmly, as if nothing was unusual about what we thought was a rather odd check in time. They gladly allowed us to stay longer than the usual check out time. Comfortable bed and rooms. Didn't actually spend that many... More

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express for an overnight after a late arrival from the east Coast. We could not have asked for more from a Holiday Inn Express. Comfortable beds, quiet, clean, new and quick check in.

Based on Tripadvisor, you would think the #1 rating makes the Holiday Inn Express Oakland the best hotel in all of Oakland! Of course, that is simply not realistic given that HIE is hardly a full service hotel. It all depends on why you're there! It's undoubtedly just fine for a one night stay if you're coming from or going... More
