Top Picnic Valley Hotel Reviews

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience"

InterContinental Mark Hopkins by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location! Lovely room with traditional decor and amenities including dresser drawers, hangers, iron as well as a tub mat to prevent slipping and modern charging station, large desk. Staff was wonderful in all areas. Icing on the cake was the views from the Top of The Mark. We could not have been happier in our 6 days at the hotel and will definitely return to this hotel."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

8/10 Good

"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!"
