Ramada by Wyndham Oakland Downtown City Center

Small rooms, but very clean; perfect for a quick visit to Oakland.

Liked: Short walk from the BART and London Square.
Disliked: Front desk was very friendly, but uninformed about public transportation - didn't know that BART is connected with Oakland Airport.

Fine option but quite a...

Liked: The staff was friendly. The room was mostly quiet. Free breakfast and coffee. Walkable to lots of bars, restaurants (many vegetarian with options), entertainment, and public transport.
Disliked: Laundry was mentioned as an amenity but was unavailable. At one point I couldn't get into the building because the card reader at the outside door was broken. I had to get new key cards every day since they stopped working daily. This might have been for security, but if that's the case, it'd be nice to know, and no one informed me that they'd need to be reset daily. The room was small with minimal natural lighting. The neighborhood did not feel safe; there were multiple concerning crime alerts within a mile while I was there, though I did appreciate the safety guide that was provided by the hotel. I think next time I visit I'll stay in Berkely.

Great location and friendly staff,...

Liked: The location is excellent — it’s very convenient for transportation and made it much easier for me to get around the city. The staff were responsible, professional, and very friendly. The hotel also offers breakfast and some additional services that guests might find useful.
Disliked: Compared to other more luxurious hotels, the basic facilities here are somewhat limited. For example, the lobby is quite small and not very spacious. The room I stayed in was also very small, with an odd layout — it could only fit one bed, and the desk was quite small, yet the hallway inside the room was unnecessarily long, which felt like wasted space. Additionally, the bathroom didn’t provide toothpaste or body wash — only shampoo was available. The hotel is located in downtown Oakland, and the surrounding area may not always feel very safe. This is not the hotel’s fault, but rather a reflection of the neighborhood. One night around midnight, I was approached aggressively by a homeless person, which made me feel quite unsafe.
