We stayed at the Graduate by Hilton Berkeley while attending a show at the Greek Theatre, and it was a great choice. The location is excellent—just a short walk to the venue and close to everything around the UC Berkeley campus. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly, and the hotel has a fun Berkeley vibe. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again the next time we're in town for a show.

They were very accommodating. It was worth it to book it through Expedia, booking directly with the hotel was incredibly more expensive. The hotel is overall clean and well maintained, there were a few stains on the tub but other than that the room was comfortable, clean and organized. Keep in mind that the rooms are also a bit small, but if you’re a solo traveler you should be completely fine.
