Top Berkeley Hotel Reviews

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Suppplies were running on short side, otherwise everything else was excellent."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was maintained every morning, breakfast was a perfectly orchestrated experience with a nice variety of fresh fruit and breakfast options, drinks at the bar and our bartender were amazing especially with all the added FIFA guests, and the hotel itself was relaxing with lots of places to sit and relax by the fire or on a couch and visit or read a book. I would stay again when visiting San Francisco or other RUI properties."

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location if you need to be close to the airport, easy parking at the hotel as well. It's a clean, but a bit dated property. The hotel offers a good hot breakfast buffet, checking and checkout was very easy and friendly. The hotel staff team was very helpful!"
