Considering the Motel 6 Oakland Embarcadero in Oakland?

Lake Merritt by cvilla007
This is the largest natural saltwater lake in America, and it's in downtown Oakland. It's a great place to walk or jog. It takes about 1 1/2 hours to walk around. There is a gondola service, lots of park area, and a japanese garden here. You can even fish, but I wouldn't eat them. I've seen 30-pound striped bass swimming near where the bay connects. There is also a wildlife estuary for migrating birds. As you will notice, many of the Canadian Geese stopped migrating years ago, and have chosen instead to make Oakland their home. They're everywhere. Watch out for their droppings!
