Top South Berkeley Hotel Reviews

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Easy to access and we paid for the underground parking which was less than a 2 minute walk to the hotel. The room was tidy and well equipped. We only stayed for one night but if we return I would look at booking here again."
