Top Northwest Berkeley Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was spotless, comfortable, well-located, and well-run, Only complaint is that it's a huge hotel and was packed, so breakfast--whiich is good and plentiful--was very crowded. Still, a great choice for a first visit or repeat visit to San Francisco, especially if you can get a good deal on the price."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

8/10 Good

"A great place to stop while visiting San Fransisco and very convenient for our needs. It was clean, safe and had excellent amenities. We found the parking rates a little excessive for the location considering we were 30 minutes outside of San Fransisco. The pool, gym and restaurant were all great additions snd my two boys spent hours in the pool."

The Pickwick Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel location is great and being a an older hotel you expect some small quirks with the building. I guess do to vagrant issues, they do not open the double doors in front so on a warm day lobby is very stuffy (AC in rooms only). Carpets are super dirty. Furniture on lobby area has holes, rips, tears. the photos are not correct. And it is not that clean or comfortable. Looking in the gathering areas. The attached restaurant does not open until after one o'clock in afternoon, so don't expect getting anything before then. The price is right for what you get in that area of SF. It is a 3 star at best hotel on a scale of 1 - 5 star. Nothing horribly bad, but nothing exceptional. Beds are comfy and pillows not bad. Just don't expect 5 star and you will be fine."
