Great location, very comfortable room with enough space and a great view of the city looking toward Coit tower and a small bit of the bay. Shower pressure was amazing and we loved having a bath.

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina
Hotel was decent. Rooms were clean. The only thing we weren’t happy with was there was no room service from the hotel restaurant. We had to go downstairs to order and then wait to bring up to the room.
