Waterfront Hotel The Experience Oakland, San Francisco East Bay - Home of Miss Pearl's Jam House
The Waterfront Plaza Hotel is your ideal launching pad to explore all the East Bay’s hidden treasures. San Francisco may get the lion’s share of national and global attention, but Oakland has just as much to offer, and without all the crowds.
Jack London Square alone can keep you occupied for days with its fine dining, cinema complex, and boutique shops. You can even rent a kayak or charter a boat to see the bay area from a different perspective. On the weekends you can amble through the outdoor artisan marketplace and farmer’s market.
Beyond the square, there are museums and kid-friendly activities galore including the Oakland Zoo and Fairyland. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore miles of trails in our extensive park system.
