"Living in Alameda for over a quarter century, I didn’t even know this gorgeous place. It’s like one of the many gems in this town. It’s amazingly historical and beautiful. I also felt it’s well maintained. I was glad that I made it to the meeting for the “Alameda’s Future...” 👍😍👌"

"Many thanks to Patty, Brian, and my fellow Elks for making us feel so welcomed. Stayed overnight in the lot, electrical was provided (limited). Big safe parking lot next to PD. The lodge is huge! 3 floors and a beautiful meeting room with giant dome ceiling. Pool and card tables, plenty of seating, and great atmosphere!"

"Nice people - But they are Elks, what do you expect! We dry camped, that is all they offer. The lodge tour was wonderful!!! What a cool lodge building. They are a block from Main Street Alameda, lots of different food choices. Try Signal coffee, you will understand how a small shop does coffee better than next door Peet’s or Starbucks."
