“Excellent Choice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

Picked the Executive Inn and Suites based on the reviews on TripAdvisor. They did not disappoint. We had reserved a Junior King Suite on the "water" side. At check-in we were given a choice of floors which was nice as we prefer a ground level room. That way we can just wheel our stuff in from the parking lot without delay or elevator hassle.
The room was spotlessly clean and the bathroom was probably the most immaculate we have ever encountered. Not even a water spot on the glass shower wall.
The only negative aspect was the amount/type of lights. Like most places today, they are trying to conserve electricity which results in some dim corners.
Also, not a fan of the water closet. Don't care that it does have a phone. I'm never that desperate.
Added bonus was that the wife hasn't stopped raving about how nice it was. I got some attaboys for my choice.

Room Tip: Like most other reviews, I would recommend the water side away from the non-stop freeway din.

“A beautiful ocean views & clean hotel!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel because of the cleanness and great ocean views. They have a nice couch area on the second floor for the visitors to enjoy the ocean views. Will stay there again for our next trip to Oakland.

Room Tip: They charge $50 extra for a room with the ocean views. My suggestion is to get a regular room on th...

“Great Little Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

We booked a few rooms for a weekend so we could spend some time with friends. The location was great! The rooms are wonderful and seem so luxurious for the price! We really enjoyed the continental breakfast/ create your own waffle station. The staff there is AMAZING. Dolores was absolutely the best, she did anything and everything we asked. The company even shuttled us into Alameda when the taxi never showed. THANK YOU for a memorable weekend.

“Best value in the Bay area”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

Most other reviewers give this property very high marks, and I agree with them. But I would like to tell you what makes the Executive Inn special for me. We visit the Bay area twice a year and I have discovered how to cut my vacation costs way,way,way down. The Executive inn is located north of the Oakland airport and south of downtown Oakland. They offer free roundtrip shuttle service which in itself is a $60 savings in cab fare. Then they will gladly take you for free to the Oakland ferry terminal where you can take a beautiful 20 minute ride across San Francisco bay right into the heart of the city where you can hop on a trolley or bus to anywhere around town. No need to rent or park a car and no need to pay a lot more for a hotel room that's probably not as nice as Executive Inn. You can enjoy your day in San Francisco and be back in your room after dinner without ever getting behind the wheel, and save big bucks in one of America's most expensive cities in the process. Now that's a real deal!

Room Tip: All rooms are good, but the ones on the water side are quieter and offer a really pretty water view.

“The staff really hustles”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

My stay at the Executive Inn was a good value. The staff was always on top of things, prompt courteous. The shuttle service was outstanding. Special kudos to Doris.
Although standard fare, the breakfast was appreciated. The hotel is kind of away from the action, but the room is equipped with refrigerators to store evening snacks or refreshments.
