Top University of California Hotel Reviews

Hotel Shattuck Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Best location in downtown Berkeley. Decently priced rooms. Comfortable mattress and bedding. Great bar and restaurant. Most helpful and friendly staff. Ask for a room facing Allston Way or the inside if you want a quieter room. Traffic on Shattuck Ave is noticeable but not loud. Whenever I've visited Berkeley in the past 15 years, I've stayed here."

Graduate by Hilton Berkeley

10/10 Excellent

"Love the character of this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was delicous! The room size and decor was great. The bed was a little firm for me but I managed to sleep very well so it all worked out fine. I would stay here again."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Berkeley by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The property is a marginally safe area but the parking felt safe. The room was nice and clean and pretty quiet. Breakfast was good with reasonable variety but the dining area is small and was quite busy when I was there. Overall I would recommend this place. "

Residence Inn by Marriott Berkeley

10/10 Excellent

"T"

Sather Berkeley, SureStay Collection by Best Western

8/10 Good

"The hotel room was clean, though a little small. Little things were broken, the bedside lamp was not screwed in and went upside down as soon as I plugged something in. The toilet paper roll was wiggly. But overall a good place to stay and comfortable beds."

Berkeley City Club

10/10 Excellent

"Superb breakfast buffet. Bar menu very good with coupon at check-in for free drink with food. Charming room."
