Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Berkeley

If you're looking to travel to Berkeley on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $156. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $312. Staying a short amount of time in Berkeley is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Berkeley, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.
When booking cheap hotel rooms in Berkeley, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.
When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Berkeley, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago

8/10 Good

"The property was well maintained, and the location was excellent. Kim and Liz provided outstanding customer service throughout my stay—they were professional, welcoming, and truly made a positive impact. They deserve recognition for their exceptional work. Unfortunately, my experience at the Red Bar & Lounge was very disappointing. About 15 minutes after opening, the “Not Open” sign was still displayed. When I asked if they were open, a staff member on her cellphone briefly replied yes and returned to her phone. I seated myself and waited nearly 10 minutes as the only guest in the restaurant. During that time, no one greeted me, offered a menu, or took a drink order, while staff remained gathered behind the bar talking and using their phones. I eventually left and reported the issue to the manager. I had a similar experience at the Starbucks downstairs, where the employee appeared focused on her cellphone while assisting customers. These interactions gave the impression that guest service was not a priority and could easily discourage repeat business. Aside from these service issues, my stay was very enjoyable. The wooded park next to the property and the nearby entertainment options were wonderful amenities. With better attention to customer service in these areas, this would have been an exceptional stay."

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staff was very friendly and inviting on all shifts. Also the parking garage is two blocks down from the hotel which wasn’t a problem for me but plan accordingly. The room was very clean and house keeping dose a nice job tidying up during the stay. Very close to all attractions. Also the view of the city is everything you could hope for!"
