See What Our Guests Are Saying

Oaktown Roost is a hidden gem in downtown Oakland. I appreciated the security measures in place and the staff attentiveness. Good central location in the town. Definitely coming back in the future.

Thomas

We had a fantastic stay at Oaktown Roost. Our hallway king room was very spacious, very comfortable, and spotless. The rooftop/courtyard between rooms was a thoughtful touch—it added privacy and made for a perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful morning coffee. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and they had a gated parking lot. The location was ideal, close to bart and the Fox Theater. It was a great experience all around. Would definitely return.

Silvia

I highly recommend this place. So much history in the building and it’s quiet. It gave me a vintage vibe with the marble stairs. Look just like pictures. Very convenient and we found a park right in front of the hotel. I appreciate the keypad to enter the hotel I felt secure for my children

Ralph

I stayed here for just one night on a business trip, and it was honestly a great experience. The transportation was super convenient, which made getting to my meetings and around town really easy. Check-in to check-out went smoothly. I’d definitely stay here again for another business trip or even a quick getaway!

"An excellent option if you need to stay in this area for work. The room was clean and had everything I needed. The common areas with pool table and patio would also be great if you were traveling with a group. Will likely stay at this properties next time I need to stay in downtown Oakland."
