10/10 Excellent

"I thought the staff was very nice and the room had comfortable beds and I liked the valet parking and the location was accessible to everything."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at the DoubleTree Berkeley, and what made it especially meaningful was how kind and supportive the staff were during a very emotional time for me. I was in Berkeley to leave my daughter at college, and understandably, I was having a lot of emotions. The staff were incredibly nice and genuinely supportive, which meant more to me than they probably realized. I also really enjoyed breakfast at the Boathouse restaurant. The outdoor area by the marina was one of my favorite parts of the hotel. Sitting outside in the comfortable chairs around the fire pit, enjoying the view and taking in the peaceful atmosphere, was the perfect way to relax. The pool and hot tub were also great and gave me another opportunity to unwind after a busy and emotional few days. Overall, this hotel felt welcoming, comfortable, and relaxing. The beautiful marina setting, great amenities, delicious breakfast, and especially the caring staff made my stay a memorable one. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Berkeley."

Napa River Inn

8/10 Good

"Smallish room but loaded with amenities."
