Oakland CA Hotel Market Review Based On Horwath HTL Q1 2025 Report
Oakland’s economy benefits from healthcare job growth but faces rising unemployment and a struggling tech sector, potentially impacting hotel demand as market conditions change through 2025.
As we navigate through 2025, the Oakland-Hayward-Berkeley, California, economic market is grappling with several challenges while also demonstrating resilience. Recent data shows that job growth has stagnated, lagging behind both state and national averages. The unemployment rate has been gradually increasing, indicative of a contracting labor force as workers exit the market. For hotel investors, these economic indicators underscore potential volatility in accommodation demand, especially considering the ongoing shifts in
population trends and employment dynamics.
The technology sector, a cornerstone of Oakland’s economy, is experiencing significant turbulence. Following recent layoffs, tech job growth is struggling to regain momentum, which may dampen business travel in the short term. Additionally, high interest rates are inhibiting investment in the sector. However, as a hub for tech innovation, Oakland still has the potential to attract businesses looking for lower-cost alternatives to nearby Silicon Valley. This could eventually lead to renewed demand for hotels that cater to business travelers and tech professionals.
The Oakland, CA market as a whole ranked in the 38th percentile (‘Below Average’) out of the nation’s top 110 hotel markets. Investors regard below-average markets with increased caution, often hesitant to make significant commitments unless they can identify strong value-add opportunities to improve property performance.

Note from ZennieReport.com, Zennie62 YouTube, and ZennieReport.com: this ZennieReport video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”.
The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the ZennieReport.com Blog site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for ZennieReport.com, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed.
The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
