The Uber app and another I looked up (rometorio maybe) had it priced at $25-$35 and 17 min for Uber XL Oakland to hotel. I'd be willing to pay that to save 45 minutes on Amtrak + transfer to a bus + get a car for that last mile.

Or doesn't that sound like an accurate estimate to you locals? Arrival would be around 9:30 pm on a weeknight.

I'd expect closer to the upper end of that fare plus toll plus I don't think there will be a lot of larger UBERmobiles out that way, so you may have to wait a while, or end up paying for SUV. While I think that Emeryville is a better station, I can't believe it adds 30 minutes to the trip.
