"Love love love"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

8/10 Good

"Beautiful location, right on the water. Having a marina view was well worth the extra money! The rooms are older, but didn’t detract from the overall stay. Great location, easy to go into Berkeley proper or hop on the freeway to San Francisco. Huge bonus that they take dogs!"

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Berkeley by IHG

"Second time staying here. It does not disappoint. Walking distance to restaurants and friendly staff, very clean."

Berkeley City Club

10/10 Excellent

"Step back in time to the 1920s. Beautiful Gothic and Moorish architecture, indoor pool, small but beautiful rooms without TVs or refrigerators and that's ok! It was quiet, comfortable and within walking distance to the Greek Theater where we saw a concert. The complimentary breakfast was perfect. We will definitely stay again."
