Stayed here for three nights while in Oakland for business. Didn't have an opportunity to check out the surrounding neighborhood, but didn't find the area at all toubling, certainly far better than options within Oakland proper. Have had questionable expeinces in Oakland previously. Service at hotel was as expected, rooms were clean, and parking was […] ample, safe, as well as free. Construction on the lot to the west may limit future views, but noise was not an issue during our stay. Read more

Better than other choices in price range. 10 minute walk to BART. Late, after sunset walk slightly edgy thru neighborhood.

Good location in Berkeley, convenient to I80. Friendly staff. Nice breakfast buffet, with cereal, bananas, yogurt, bagels, croissants. Some of the hot food, like the bacon, sausage and egg thing were not so good, but I was surprised they even offered them. I did not try the pancakes but they are probably OK. There are some restaurants within walking […] distance. Nice parking lot. Overall, it's a good value. Read more

I took 8 college students to a competition at UC Berkeley, and we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express. I don't know Berkeley well, so I picked the hotel based mostly on price and location. I ended up being very pleased. It was very clean and in great shape (I have no idea when it was built, but it looks brand new). As we were driving down University Avenue, […] I saw several other comparable hotels that looked pretty run down, so I was pleased when we got to the Holiday Inn. When I travel with students, free parking, free breakfast, and free wifi are all absolutely necessary (otherwise the whining is unbearable). There is ample parking and a surprisingly good free breakfast. (The food is mass produced / industrial, but it's ample, it's free, and there's a wide variety of items--not just Danishes and OJ.) One minor complaint: I thought the wifi was quite slow; I was streaming a movie from Netflix, and it paused several times for a couple of minutes. (Maybe that was Netflix, but I haven't had that problem elsewhere.) If you're hardy, you could walk to UC Berkeley from the hotel (and save yourself a bunch of money paying to park near the university). Otherwise, it's a 5-minute drive. There are also a few decent (not outstanding) restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. All in all, if my students go to this competition again next year, I'd probably stay at the Holiday Inn again. Read more

The room was so clean anttd comfortable. The batthrootm is pretty big and clean. The lady on the breakfast buffet was very helpful. The lady on the counter though wasn't very friendly. She wasn't on the front desk when we were ready to check out. We were standing waiting for someone when the lady from the breakfast buffet asked us if we needed help. […] I told her that we're ready to check out and she just called a name ( which I really didn't pay attention to ). And the front desk lady just came out from the room in no time. So I know for sure she knows that we were there because we were just standing and talking in the front. I asked her for UC Berkely tdirection and she just told us to go left all the way without any eye contact. I felt like she's pretty irritated. I will still recommend the place because it wad very comfortable. Read more

I was quite impressed with the hotel, my room, and the ease of parking and hotel access.

I travel to the Bay area and Berkeley in particular fairly often and have paid much more to stay in worse places. The hotel seems to be newly refurbished. It's not posh, but it is comfortable. It's not in the best part of town, but it's not in the worst part, either-- as a grad student I lived only a few blocks away. There are numerous decent restaurants […] in walking distance, and it's a straight shot up University to get to (surprise) the University. The breakfast is quite decent with several options to accommodate various needs. There is a bit of an issue with the entrance/exit -- both may necessitate a trip around the block depending on where you're coming from and where you're going-- but that applies to a lot of places in Berkeley. All in all, this place was a good value. Read more

ホリデーインエクスプレスは、あちこち泊まりますが その中でも中の上、場所を考えれば、上ではないでしょうか。なぜか、サンフランシスコの空港近辺のホテルが高く、翌日、サクラメントに宿泊予定だったため、サンフランシスコ近辺で、治安が良くてリーズナブルなホテルを探しました。サンマテオは、治安も良く、レストランも多くまよったのですが、翌日の移動を考えて、バークレーにしました。 夜着いて、翌朝出発したので、街はほとんど見ていません。 でも、ホテルから歩いていけるところにレストランがいくつもあり、 スーパー、99セントのお店などが揃っており、旅のはじめに、いろいろ揃えるには便利でした。朝食も、コーヒーその他、一般の無料のものなのですが、味が良かったです。 チェックイン時に、お水を二本とチョコバーを、小さな […] 袋に入れていただいたのも、とても良かったです。 デスクは使いやすく、エルゴノミックチェアもありました。お湯もしっかり出ます。他のホリデーインエクスプレスと同様、洗面所以外に、電子レンジのコーナーに、水道がついているところも、私は気に入っています。(フルーツを洗う時、洗面所で洗うのに、少し抵抗があるので) ホテルの真ん前にある、ケバブーハウス、美味しかったです。歩いて5分くらいの123号線沿いの、バーべキューみたいなお店は、お客様がひっきりなしでした。 Read more
