Top South Berkeley Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, good location, clean, paid secure parking."

The Pickwick Hotel

8/10 Good

"I stayed for 12 days and it made for a nice home base. The timing of when the staff came in an cleaned or made up the bed was not a set schedule even though they gave notice they would only came in once a week. I think someone came in every other day. Everything was clean enough. It would have been nice if there were more hand towels in the room. The in bathroom toiletries were good. All in all it was a good stay."

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was perfect for me and my kids. Shops and places nearby to walk around. The only downside is the valet parking, it was full at the time but there are parking garages about less than a block away. Other than that, stay was great and would definitely come back again."

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very good, with a great location. What stood out the most was the customer service. I had a few issues with the room, and Kevin, the housekeeping manager, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and that everything was taken care of. He even provided a gift certificate for a complimentary night to compensate for the issues. I really appreciated how responsive and accommodating he was. I highly recommend this hotel."
