La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Oakland - Hayward

10/10 Excellent
"This was a last minute booking. The hotel was easy to check-in and out. The breakfast was pretty good; eggs, patties, potatoes, boiled eggs, waffles, etc. The coffee was medium roast and mild but decide. The room was spacious and had good water pressure. The beds were comfortable. I would book it again."

8/10 Good
"My stay was good, but my only complaint is that the breakfast was pretty limited. The customary waffle maker was there, and other bread options, but the only meat option was eggs. No bacon, sausage or other items some hotels provide. Other than this, the hotel is very good. They give you free cookies when you check in, so that's nice. They are right next to a high-end restaurant with superb reviews, so that makes it easy for dinner options. I would stay here again. Good location and good prices."
