On the southeast side of the busy A St - I-880 intersection, Best Western Inn of Hayward is within easy reach of all east San Francisco Bay attractions. The center of Hayward is a mile to the east, with the local airport just the far side of the interstate. Sites within a mile include the Southland Mall, Skywest Golf Course, Centennial Hall and the Burbank Recreation Center. The inn is a medium sized building of 3 floors and 91 clean rooms, with an outdoor pool/hot tub to the rear, and (inside), a dining area serving free continental breakfast

Hayward's Fairfield Inn contains 69 rooms and 15 suites, in quite a new, well maintained building close to the east end of the San Mateo Bridge, on the southwest edge of town. The hotel is one block from the 92 Freeway along Industrial Blvd, which marks the boundary between a residential district and a large business/industrial park to the east, so the immediate area does not have much of interest though many large stores are just 1.5 miles away at the Southland Mall. On entry, visitors are greeted by a 3 storey atrium lobby containing tropical plants and a fountain; other amenities include a hot tub, guest laundry and free hot breakfast.

One mile from California State University East Bay, the Comfort Inn is a 62 room hotel providing budget accommodation for visitors to the Fremont, Hayward, Castro Valley, San Lorenzo and San Leandro districts. It is a well reviewed hotel, on account of the clean well equipped rooms, friendly staff, and the above average (free) continental breakfast. The inn lies alongside the main road through town (Mission Blvd), part of a long line of shops, restaurants and other businesses, though also close to the edge of wooded hills that rise to the east.

The MainStay Suites hotel in Hayward, CA, offers 75 extended stay suites - large, well equipped but relatively inexpensive - in a bright, modern, 3 floor building right next to Hayward Regional Airport and 8.5 miles south of Oakland International Airport. The hotel is part of a mixed business/residential neighborhood at 835 West A St, close to many fast food restaurants and a mile north of the large stores at Southland Mall. Amenities of the MainStay Suites include an outdoor pool, exercise room, guest laundry and free continental breakfast.
