1717 Embarcadero, Oakland, California 94606-5223 United States

Hotel Overview

On the waterfront in Oakland, California, the Best Western Plus Bayside Hotel makes a relaxed base on San Francisco Bay, with meeting space and easy bridge access across to the city.

Comfortable rooms, many looking at the water, and a calm harborside suit a working trip or a Bay Area weekend, with the freeways and the airport close by. Sailboats and ferries cross the estuary outside, and a coffee maker and free internet round each room. The waterfront path begins just outside the lobby, and ferries glide toward the city skyline across the bay.

Oakland's revived waterfront keeps the shops and restaurants of Jack London Square along the docks, the museums and Lake Merritt sit a short drive off, and the Bay Bridge carries you straight into the heart of downtown San Francisco in a matter of minutes. Redwood parks and the wine country of the East Bay hills spread inland.
