5/5 Excellent
"The park is amazing."
A verified traveler stayed at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina
"Really nice, comfortable hotel. Great vibe with lots of seating in the lobby to hang out. Every staff member we encountered was really nice. Very walkable and the perfect choice for getting to a show at the Greek Theater. Lots of places to eat nearby too. The only concern could be parking, but we scored a spot in front of the hotel, which was super convenient. I would definitely stay at The Graduate again!! "
A verified traveler from Sparks stayed at Graduate Berkeley
"It was perfect, cute, clean. We really liked there was a bar and restaurant in the facility. Wish it would have stay open 11 PM, but still nice.
We would definitely stay there again and pay extra for the parking. "
