We have listed the Z Hotel in Oakland's Jack London Square - just across the water from Alameda - on the Travel page. Jack London Square is an awesome area to explore, with many excellent bars, restaurants, and other attractions, and you can even catch the ferry directly to San Francisco. Alternately, you may also wish to rent an AirBNB; we recommend staying in Alameda, as there are many affordable options walking distance from both downtown Alameda and the venue.
