Fodor's Expert Review Best Western Plus Bayside Hotel

This relatively small-sized property has pleasant accommodations with balconies or patios, many overlooking the water and Alameda island. The rooms, which vary in size, have coffeemakers, refrigerators, microwaves, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, sitting areas, and good-size desks; spacious bathrooms have oversize spa bathtubs and separate showers. There is a 24/7 fitness center, an outdoor swimming pool and the Estuary walking path, so it's the rare freeway-adjacent hotel that has ample workout opportunities.
