Whether you're in town for a big show or a weekend of exploring, it’s a stylish and easy base to call home.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short walk from top venues like the Fox Theater, the Paramount, and the Oakland Convention Center, this hotel puts you close to the action—without the late-night noise. The 12:00 PM check-out gives you time to sleep in after a late show, and with flexible front desk support and easy access to public transit and rideshares, you can keep the night going or head home hassle-free. Bonus: rooms with full kitchens mean you can grab a bite post-show without leaving your suite.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want to stick together and share space
• Solo travelers catching a can't-miss tour stop
• Couples planning a relaxing music-filled weekend
• Fans who want peace and quiet after a loud night out
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and location

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (even late) with a buffet or American breakfast served on-site. While there's no 24/7 room service, the in-room kitchenettes make midnight snacks a breeze. The on-site bar and restaurant are perfect for pre-show drinks or a quick bite, and you’re surrounded by walkable dining spots ideal for a post-concert meal.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself offers a laid-back lounge vibe, you're just a short stroll from Oakland’s buzzing nightlife, including live music venues, cool dive bars, and cocktail lounges. Whether you're looking for a place to keep the party going or just sip a local craft beer, you'll find it nearby.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern suites, especially the full kitchens and spacious layouts. Many mention the friendly staff and excellent downtown location that makes walking to shows and restaurants a breeze. The quiet atmosphere is also a big plus after a night out.

Areas for Improvement

A few guests note that parking can be limited and a bit pricey—something to keep in mind if you're driving. Also, while the area is very walkable, some first-time visitors recommend being aware of your surroundings at night, as you would in any major city.

The Bottom Line

With its unbeatable location, spacious suites, and concert-friendly amenities, the Residence Inn by Marriott Oakland Downtown is a smart and stylish choice for music fans looking to stay close to the action.
