About this hotel
Staying at Oaktown Roost places you within a short walk of the 11th St & Franklin St transit stop, making connections around Oakland straightforward. For airport transfers, a taxi ride to Oakland International Airport takes about 30 minutes, while public transport is an option for those with more time, at just over an hour. The nearby Shooting Star Cafe, a two-minute walk away, is convenient for a quick bite or coffee before heading out. The location also offers relatively quick taxi access to the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge, about an eight-minute ride, for those looking to explore beyond Oakland.
