Top Historic Berkeley Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful setting and very quiet! Our view of the marina was partially blocked by a tree, but it was still very nice. The room was clean and parking was easy."

Graduate by Hilton Berkeley

8/10 Good

"Super close to UC B campus. Not much amenities in the hotel services ( for example no ice or filtered water fountain for refil). Also, I got burned by hot coffee at lobby, but I can't find a quick access for cold water to deminish the pain ( the first floor bath room dose not have cold water ... ^_^, bad luck to me)"

University Inn & Suites Berkeley

"Basic motel. Bathroom and bed were clean. A bit dated but for the price it is good. Breakfast is very basic…but free! Staff friendly. Two restaurants accross the street and some a few blocks away. Not a an exciting area but the bus to the Bart is quick and parking is free (I think)."
