Hilton Garden Inn Walnut Creek
"Really clean room, bigger than I expected. Very nice! Parking was $10 which was odd for a suburban hotel, I thought, but still c well maintained!"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina
"Beautiful location, right on the water. Having a marina view was well worth the extra money! The rooms are older, but didn’t detract from the overall stay. Great location, easy to go into Berkeley proper or hop on the freeway to San Francisco. Huge bonus that they take dogs!"
