Hotels in Downtown Berkeley, Berkeley

The location is convenient, close to BART and in the center of town; the room is large and you can cook your own meals; there is free breakfast every day; but there is no service. Maybe in the United States, extra tips are required for services.

We stayed at this hotel at what must have been their busiest weekend ever due to UC Berkeley’s alumni/parents weekend. The hotel was packed but service was great. One standout moment was when we found out last minute we needed a cot in our room. At 10pm or so the night manager Izzy (I believe that was his name) was on hand to not only field every request for towels from multiple guests and deliver them himself but also deliver the cot to us. The big take away is that the manager did great but it seems like the higher ups really should have scheduled more people to assist on a night that was obviously packed at the hotel. But all in all great hotel

The hotel is located in Berkeley city center, very close to UC Berkeley campus, the BART station and many restaurants. The hotel building is a bit old but functions well. The front door of the hotel is locked all day, and you will be given a key to enter the building. This makes one feel safe and quite comparing to the motels in the around area. Check in and out was easy and fast. I stayed in a queen bed room with shared bathroom. The room is not big, looks basic, but with all necessary stuff, even with a microwave. The bed was comfortable. The sink in the room is also convenient. The curtain in the room is not big enough to protect privacy. I hope this can be improved. The shared bathrooms were cleaned everyday. Each floor has two shared bathrooms, so most of the time you don't need to wait. The shower room is a bit small though. Generally hotel rooms in bay area are very expensive. If you don't mind to share the bathroom, this hotel is definitely the best deal you will find in Berkeley city center. Of course, the hotel also has rooms with private bathroom, at a price comparable to other motels in the area. Would recommend this hotel if you have a limited budget.

This place is beautiful located right on the water on the other side of the San Francisco bay. Not only is there a beautiful view of the city. But you can also see the Bay bridge and the Golden gate bridge very clearly. The hotel itself has been updated It was very clean, our room was comfortable and it is affordable. I would recommend a room with a view of the bay. There is a great aquatic park that the hotel is connected to which makes for beautiful walks and gorgeous sunsets I would definitely recommend a stay here.

The main reason for staying at this hotel is that it is close to UCB. You can live here by visiting the university: you can walk to Sather Gate 15 for 20 minutes and CKC for 20 minutes. Another major feature of the hotel is its beautiful environment. The outdoor environment is like a garden villa, with flowers, green plants and beautiful houses. It is small and exquisite. The room facilities are very old, especially the carpet is estimated to have never been replaced, and it is not flattering. However, the size of the room is exactly the same for two people.

great price for a stay in bay area. great housekeeping. great breakfast. one car window smashed in parking lot- be careful and keep valuables with you. pool & waffle bfast. but bfasts ends early, by 9 am.

The Graduate is a great hottel across the street from the UC Berkeley campus and a great place to stay if you are visiting Berkeley or attending events on campus. The staff, including the cleaning people, demonstrated the highest standards in hospitality.

The breakfast is very simple and fixed. There is hot water to play at any time. The room is very small and there is no place for an extra bed. The hotel location is OK. There is a large supermarket not far from the supermarket. The supermarket has more fruits and food. It is a 20-minute walk from Berkeley. The surrounding area is quiet. There is a parking lot in the yard, parking is convenient, and in general it is cost-effective.

Breakfast is simple, but it can also be full. The house is old, the sound is not good, and the price is relatively reasonable in this location. Berkeley Student Residence is 2-3 km away.

The property i manage had damage as a result of the Atmospheric river on last Tuesday and a water pipe was broken by a fallen tree. Despite my best efforts the damage had still not been fixed on Sunday and a tenant asked if they could be put up at a hotel. I gave them two choices one of which was Holiday Inn. The tenant called the one on University Avenue in Berkeley and was told that there was a three day stay minimum. They were also quoted a rate 0f $209 a night. When I called I was told $169 a night and $159 a night with AAA discount and no minimums. I gave the girl my credit card and she swiped it and it was approved. All she told me to do was to give the tenants my AAA card number so I could get the discount when they checked in. My tenants went to the hotel and were told that there was no reservation either under their name or mine. I gave them the confirmation number given me by the girl who answered the phone. They found the reservation. Then they were told that they would have to give them their credit card so they could run it and pay for the reservation in advance of checking out ”just in case.” They were told if they wanted to use my credit card I would have to come down there that night, not the next morning, and have him swipe my card and if I did not come, he was going to kick the tenants out. Thus, I had to get out of bed at 10:30 at night and go to Berkeley. When I get there he tells me that he is going to charge my card that night for the two night stay. I told him I had already been charged and he said that he had canceled the charge because I did not accompany the tenants at checkin. Neither of us were told that I had to accompany them and being a business traveler I know that not to be true. When he gave me the receipt, he had changed the terms because I got new terms when he canceled the previous reservation and they had had an increase in demand. (The parking lot was only half full). When I asked for a copy of the receipt, which I was entitled too since he was charging me to check out before I even checked in, he refused to give it to me, telling me to ”take a picture.” I will never use this hotel again.
