Preferred - accommodation in Berkeley

Friendly

Room was clean and well-appointed. Hotel is convenient to places I needed too go. Staff were friendly and helpful.

We stayed here twice on our trip. The hotel is beautiful as are the rooms. Nice ambiance and the outdoor fire pits are really nice as is the pool. Buffet breakfast was amazing, best of any hotel we have ever stayed at, with virtually any fresh food you can think of. Get there before 8AM or you will be lining up to get in! Hotel is only a 5 minute walk to Fisherman's Wharf, 7 minutes to Trader Joes, 10 minutes to the Trolley stop. Hotel is nicely situated for those without cars. The $60+ parking fee is a putoff however. For the $288 per night we paid in March 2026, it should be included, but this is a tourist area and most places take advantage of that. There is quite a bit of street or cheaper paid parking around the hotel if you are staying a few nights. Note that those with disabled car placards or stickers can park 24/7 for free on the street but beware of street cleaning days. We would definitely stay here again.
