Located at the Berkeley Marina, overlooking the San Francisco Bay, DoubleTree by Hilton Berkeley Marina greets its guest with a freshly-baked cookie.

All guest rooms feature a patio or balcony, a flat screen TV with cable channels, and a coffee machine. Select suites offer a dining area.

Location can't be beat! It's our favorite place to stay when visiting the Bay Area. Footsteps from the beautiful Berkeley Marina, far enough away from some of the elements near the campus. Paid for Marina view and got Marina view. Beds were so incredibly comfortable. Restaurant is beautiful, excellent customer service! We arrived near closing time and were stillwarmly welcomed and seated. Kids love the pool and jacuzzi.

Situated in downtown Oakland East Bay and close to several area interstates, this historic inn offers a variety of complimentary amenities and is an ideal location for exploring the surrounding areas.

The Washington Inn places guests only minutes from many popular points of interest. Jack London Square, a variety of government buildings and the train station leading to downtown San Francisco are all in close proximity.

Very friendly and helpful front desk. Love the character of the old building, especially the elevator! Fun being near the Swan center and Jack London square area.

Overlooking Jack London Square and the waterfront, only 12.8 km from Oakland International Airport, this boutique hotel provides easy access to top area attractions and free Wi-Fi.

The Waterfront Hotel, part of JdV by Hyatt is ideally situated only a short distance from the area's main sites. The restaurants, shopping and entertainment of Jack London Square, the Oakland Convention Center and the city centre are only minutes away.

I liked the location! It’s in walking distance to everything you need and is next door to the ferry terminal to SF.

    The staff is very helpful and friendly. Very clean room, new furniture. Very comfy bed. No need to explore the room to find an outlet. The bathroom is updated, the towels by the shower! You don't need to be a gymnast to get the towel... The place is very quiet. The room is not big but it has a very clever design.

    It's a stunning place to stay at. Everything is so beautiful. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Breakfast is vegan friendly-ish. There is fruit, milk alternatives for coffee and vegan oatmeal. The room came with a clothing iron (with steam - very convenient), ironing board, fan and heater. There's extra pillows and a blanket in the closet. I'll have to hunt down the lotion they are stocking the rooms with, because it is so creamy and smells lovely.
