The location of this hotel couldn't be more central for most of the ground transport connections, great shopping, dining options, sight-seeing and places within walking distance. You are close to Union Square, China Town, the cable car runs and we even walked to Fishermans' Wharf - but beware the hills! All of the staff were incredibly friendly without being intrusive, although they really seemed interested in what we were doing and happily offered useful advice and tips that only locals would know. The room was very large, it was quiet and the bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever slept in. We really appreciated the eco focus of the hotel and the extra steps it took to maintain those credentials. I would 100% recommend this hotel and cannot understand the negative reviews based on the 5 nights we stayed here.

I had a great experience at the hotel. The staff was friendly, and the room had everything you could need. My favorite part was the big bed near the window with a great view. The location was also excellent—close to shops, bus stops, and restaurants.

A return stay to the OMNI SF since pre-pandemic days and it was nice to see the same level of quality service: friendly staff from the doorman, front desk, restaurant, and especially housekeeping, all of whom me feel very welcomed. I also appreciated the coffee in the morning and evening, and apples throughout the day in the reception area. I chose the OMNI for its location - walking distance to many tourist attractions for down times (Embarcadero, Ferry Terminal, Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown etc), as well as work in the financial district. Had a lovely stay.

This hotel is a gem! Beautifully designed and in a great location. Walking distance to shops, cafes, and restaurants. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Especially with my request. Extremely clean and modern with very super comfortable beds. They serve free wine and gin from 5-6pm. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Lake Merritt

Situated right in the centre of Oakland, this tidal lagoon is a leading local nature spot. Lake Merritt’s shoreline is a haven for birds, while its waters are packed with aquatic life. Take a stroll along the waterside walking trail, or rent a rowing boat to explore its manmade islands up close.

    Didn't really visit it but we were in Oakland only for the night to catch an early morning flight and the hotel, which provided an early morning shuttle to airport, was near some body of water. But have visited the lake in the past and this is one of Oakland's better attractions. Frankly, the hotel was HORRID! Uncomfortable beds, clientele really sketchy.
