i'm going camping in early june in big basin, want to cap it off w a weekend in oakland. what's a nice hotel / motel / hostel / campground?
― the late great, Monday, 13 May 2013 01:54 (eleven years ago) link
there's the claremont hotel, but that is super pricey. very nice though. Only hostel I know of is the one at like 14th and Center -- about 7 blocks to West Oakland BART but plenty of street parking.
― You must be very cold in the sack. (sarahell), Monday, 13 May 2013 18:03 (eleven years ago) link
do air bnb
― 69, Monday, 13 May 2013 18:20 (eleven years ago) link
i would love to stay at the claremont, roll out of bed and pad down to rick and anne's for some red flannel hash. but no, too pricey for me.

the scenic Chaparral Motel, in the heart of the Golden Gate district, at the end of my street

I've always wanted to stay at the Capri Motel on W. Macarthur. I think it has HBO and air conditioning even!
― You must be very cold in the sack. (sarahell), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:15 (eleven years ago) link
yelp says capri motel closed, but that was a good suggestion!

chaparral motel looks kinda bleak

xp - damn, for years I've wanted to do a road trip and stay at all the Capri Motels

you can't camp in tilden, can you?
― the late great, Monday, 13 May 2013 19:29 (eleven years ago) link
well, I imagine you can camp there in the same way as you can camp at the Albany Bulb

Chabot is the main option for family camping in the east bay. I think you have to make a reservation though.

wish I'd know about that sooner, all booked up :-(

what neighborhood?
― "Turkey In The Straw" coming from someplace in the clouds (Sparkle Motion), Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:29 (eleven years ago) link
glenview. my wife and daughter were out for a walk at the time. i think the chase ended in dimond, but i haven't seen any news.
― wmlynch, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 04:11 (eleven years ago) link
I guess proximity to the 580 can send chases ripping through. hope nobody was hurt

Realistically, w/ all the hype Oakland has been getting, there are no real hotel options beside the Claremont and the downtown Marriot. Best to check Air BnB. From a worldly native.

I got a solid chuckle at the Chaparral Motel recommendation, that place has terrified me for years.

Dear Oakland,
I fly to you tomorrow. I am excited about seeing you and your lovely weather. What shall I do with you? Eating and outdoorsy stuff (on the cheap) are priorities.
