Top Northwest Berkeley Hotel Reviews

Stanford Court San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Grand old hotel"

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

8/10 Good

"For a comfortable stay that's affordable, this is a good choice. There's an excellent restaurant Eastern European, Dacha, for a little more elevated dining than the fried food places that were more common, and it's a few steps from the hotel front door. Delicious but more expensive than I would have preferred even for a business trip. But it was the only choice for a quick and decent meal. There is no business room, per se, for teleconferencing or printing materials, so every hour or so there is someone in the lobby doing a Zoom call. But the staff were courteous and helpful. They printed a few sheets when I needed them. The area is around the hotel is gentrifying. It's about a 30 minute walk to the heart of downtown. Plenty of coffee/sandwich shops nearby. Bring ear plugs and a white noise machine if you're a sensitive sleeper. The doors to other rooms on my floor could be heard opening and closing in the late afternoon through late night; overnight, though, it was fairly quiet. Most businesses diligently washed down their stoops and sidewalks, but you have to be careful where you step, especially if you're going for a run!"
