Not a very good experience. We arrived past midnight and the people staying next to us we loud and obnoxious. We asked to for another room but the hotel was sold out. We not recommend. Too noisy, loud, and located in a congested part of town.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by traveler00 Comfortable room, great location
Quiet location next to Oakland airport. Service was friendly and efficient. Comfortable room. We stayed at the hotel the night before our vacation trip and returned five days later and stayed overnight. We were able to leave our car there for a week, which was very convenient. Hotel is new and very clean.

I'm a big Holiday inn express customer, it is my 1st choice when traveling. This Holiday inn is very nice and clean, but the difference between a Holiday inn express and Holiday inn are glaring!
1st off, no free breakfast like HIx offers, and worse was the lack knowledge and respect from the waitress and rest manager (whom we never saw#. Upon arrival they gave us coupons for the kids, when we went to use them the very argumentitive waitress said they could not order from the adult menu, lol, well it states right the coupon that they can and my wife showed it to her, she still insisted they couldn't order from the adult menu # my son wanted a waffle, which they don't offer on the childs menu??) so after reading it to her again and showing it to her, she refused to allow us to use it, so my wife asked to see the Mngr, the waitress was not happy, unreal. So about 5 mins later she returns and says he is in a meeting but will give a discount, we agreed just to move things along, we place our order and when she brings it she forgets a side of sausage, when I mention it, she snaps back that what was ordered comes with bacon, lol, so now she is arguing with me and telling me I didn't order that?? She should be happy to sell more, instead she argues. So we cancel the sausage finish up, pay the bill and leave. I went to the front desk where they always have complementry coffee at HIx, or at the buffet, well it wasn't there anymore but I noticed they moved into the rest, so I'm filling my cup and guess who stops me, yep, are very unpleasant waitress, she says "we charge for our coffee after 9am" LOL, I thought she was joking and even said, your kidding right? But no, she loudly said back loud enough for other customers to hear " we charge $2.73 per cup" I put the cup down and walked away. BTW, I had coffee with my breakfast! I guess I should have asked for a to go cup. So if you choose to stay here and eat breakfast, just pray that you don't get the little black haired young lady with a horrible attitude. I can't beleive they charge their guests for coffee after 9am, really? Because of her she ruined what would have been a very nice stay! You just don't argue with customers and tell them their wrong!

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by Mike1027 Slow Internet Speeds
The Internet connection speeds experienced during my last two visits were very slow. The connection did not allow me to connect to various secure government sites that I normally use for work purposes. I have already talked to AT&T Tech Support, and they confirm that the connection speed is determined by the Holiday Inn, and not by AT&T.
I strongly recommend you review your Internet service provisions, and upgrade the connection speeds.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by southdakotatravellers Best Holiday Inn Anywhere!
We have stayed twice now and both times this hotel was superb.
It begins with the best airport shuttle service that you could imagine. Fast and courteous and not shared with 5 other hotels.
The place is so clean and spotless, it even smells good when you enter the lobby. Our rooms were perfect, and once again, spotless. Restaurant and service were fine.
We'll be sure that in Oakland, this will be our home away from home.

The stay at the Holiday Inn at Oakland Airport was a very good experience. Being a Platinum member. I was upgraded to a two room suit. The room was great. The floor was quiet. One of the best nights of sleep I have had in a long time. I especially liked the HVAC control that could run just the fan with or without heat/a/c.

The only negative are the pillows. Too hard and fat. Need softer flatter pillows. Woke up with a neck cramp. No difference between pillows labeled soft or firm.

This trip was planned for my granddaughter's first visit to San Francisco and chose this hotel because it was nearby and had shuttle service to the BART system. We arrived and I was very pleased as soon as I walked in. The hotel lobby was spacious, nicely decorated and had a very pleasant scent upon walking in, I knew I had made a good choice.

Living in Albany, New York we fly to the Bay Area each year to visit family. The flight brings us to Oakland late evening and it is so nice to relax at a Holiday Inn facility like the Oakland Holiday Inn Express and Suites, Keep up the freindly and comfortable environment for weary travelers.
Back in New York I work for the State of New York that requires travel and I always choose Holiday Inn for comfort and value.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by James27 A Great Airport Hotel
I stayed one night and took BART from SFO to Oakland
Airport station. Hotel shuttle picked me up promply at BART station.
Easy check-in. Room was fantastic with 2 king beds.
Very clean and up to date. The only thing that sorta bothered me was the bathroom door has an auto-close feature which may have been due to a handicap feature. Room very quiet at night.
Had dinner in restaurant. All food very good and very reasonable.
I would highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed overnight at this Holiday Inn while on our way to Hawaii, we left our car in the stay and fly parking lot for 7 days and when we returned our car was safe as can be. The Hotel shuttle service was great and right on time both going and coming home. I will stay at this hotel again and I do recommend it to anyone that wants a clean safe place to stay and a great place to park and fly.

Stayed one night for an A's game. Shuttle to the coliseum was great! Front desk very efficient, and the rooms were super clean, the beds so comfortable. No issues with neighborhood, and the parking was free and plentiful. Will definitely stay again when we're back.

Close to the airport, shutles worked well to take us to rental cars or flights. Saff was attentive. The room was clean and comfortale and made me realize the need to remodel m bathroom at home. Food was beter than expected and service was excellent.
We were short one towel the first evening, but a phone call brought several more within minutes. Holiday Inns usually cost more han some of the other chains, but this is a case where it was worth it entirely. I'd do it again.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by VeryDisappointed Terrible--save yourself frustration and stay elsewhere
There are tons of hotels in this area, and if you're looking for a good experience I recommend staying away from this one. The hotel staff is rude, particularly the shuttle drivers. The front desk people are completely inept, and the manager seems to think it's all just one big joke.
I will say, the cleaning staff was outstanding. Perhaps they should take over for the rest of the staff.
In addition to the rude customer service (I was left waiting for the shuttle for 40 minutes...standing outside of the BART station with my laptop and other valuables), there's a huge Harley Davidson store nearby. Huge amounts of motorcycle riders sped up and down the street outside of the hotel over and over and over again, the entire weekend I was staying in the hotel. Even with the window closed the noise was unbearable. That alone is reason to take your business elsewhere.

We stay in this hotel many times after attending games at the stadium. The front desk staff is very good and accommodating. I inquired about the rate for breakfast and said it was cheaper online. He comped us breakfast. Great customer service. Things like this is why I stay at Holiday Inn brand hotels as a preference
Once again the maid started banging on the door 2 hours before checkout. There was a sign on the door to not disturb did they not understand. This is not the first time this has happened at least 2 other visits this happened also..
