Large older hotel in nice setting by the San Francisco Bay. Hallways show wear. Bed very comfortable. Room decor somewhat outdated. Room very clean. Plenty of parking but expensive if you're not a Hilton Honors member (free if member).
Amazing beautiful location on the water, Staff was pleasant. Rooms were pretty basic bed was not the best, not bad overall. Parking prices were EXCESSIVELY EXPENSIVE. I was in building 3 so pretty far walk to and from the lobby and main entrance. Overall decent experience would stay here again.
Wonderful rooms with beautiful views of the Bay Area. Staying on the first floor you can walk right out onto the water. Good food and service at the restaurant.
It may not be the flashiest hotel for the price, but it has a lot of thoughtful touches that make a stay comfortable. Pros: Breakfast served with real utensils, not plastic Windows that open for fresh air Free street parking right across the hotel A decent on-site restaurant Minor cons: €40 for on-site parking Tips expected during breakfast Rooms are a bit dated Overall, it’s a cozy, convenient choice with good amenities and a pleasant atmosphere.
Excellent hotel! Receptionist are very kind and helpful. Lobby is pretty big, including a snack area. There's a restaurant located in the hotel as well. Rooms are nice and clean. The staff are great and the view of the Marina is really nice.
Great location! I wanted to get away for some peace and quiet. The room was comfy, a little basic. I had a garden view with a balcony. No rooms have an ocean view. I watched the Peloton channel, which I didn't know existed. I charged some things from the kiosk. The property was nice and saw some wild turkeys in the parking lot.
We held a conference here and all of the staff, especially Natasha, was incredibly attentive and helpful. They acted quickly to any request and went above and beyond to solve problems, adjust facilities, and make sure we had everything we needed. Everything was executed perfectly, on time, and within budget. Thanks so much for your hospitality!
I prefer this hotel for many reasons 1. Very comfortable rooms 2. Spaces room 3. Excellent service- high quality linen 4. Very good breakfast and good options 5. Near to public transport I always stay while travelling to Berkeley.
Waterfront area with a pier, a playground & bay views from César E. Chávez Park & shoreline trails.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in California. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
