We like everything about Holiday Inn Express in Berkeley and highly recommend it for families looking for a safe, clean, and comfortable place to stay. We've stayed there for three consistent summers and are already making plans for our 4th visit next year. The management and staff are friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We love that breakfast is included and that there's an in-house laundry and workout room as well as restaurants within walking distqnce. Thank you, Raj and team!

The hotel is getting some work done to upgrade it, but it was never intrusive. Very comfortable room and bed. Like having a couch and kitchenette in the room. AC unit was a bit noisy. Very welcoming and helpful staff.
