Overpriced, poor location, security risk, pool is only good for Ducks.
Pros:

Room was nice and decor good, nice balcony.
Reception area was nice and open.

Cons:

Paying for parking, there were no issues with space locally, but security was not good, much broken window glass on road from break ins. The room had an internal door to the next room, but we wernt with them and could hear everything and sadly they were noisy. Clever camera man made this look good, they cut out the industrial yards over the lake viewed from the balcony, the broken wall glass with tape on around the dirty pool, the massive amount of Duck poo on the water walkway, the well used tent for the homeless person outside the crappy Motel next door which had Luxury in its title, the highway out front. This was not cheap so gains the crown for the most expensive worst place stayed. One to miss.

Worth every dollar!!
Pros:

The Best Western Bayside in Oakland,Ca is one of the far most best lodgings in the city there is. The front desk attendants are all courteous and kind, one name that comes to mind is Anahi…she is such a sweetheart, she goes over and beyond to make your stay worth every dollar spent. The location is quiet and very relaxing, especially if you have the water view rooms. There are a-lot of amenities that are provided at this location. I give it a perfect 10

Just fine. Good value. Relaxed.
Pros:

Everything went smoothly. Staff was efficient, courteous, and helpful. Location on the waterfront was nice, with chairs and tables on the back patio to enjoy sun up and sun down. The building was clean and reasonably fresh, and the whole place felt comfortable, not too boxy or motel-like. Parking was available for a reasonable charge.

Cons:

We had no problems whatever.

Gorgeous Hotel- Front desk Kayla made ALL the difference!
Pros:

I rarely leave reviews but had such an incredible experience with KAYLA at the front desk that I couldn’t help but leave a review. She was such a phenomenal guest service coordinator and made all the difference in our stay. She went above and beyond and deserves a promotion! We stayed in room 388 and had a gorgeous view. I strongly recommend a stay here at the beautiful luxurious hotel- 5 stars because of Kayla- she made us feel welcome and at home.
