Hotels near University of California Museum of Paleontology in Berkeley

The location is convenient, close to BART and in the center of town; the room is large and you can cook your own meals; there is free breakfast every day; but there is no service. Maybe in the United States, extra tips are required for services.

This place is beautiful located right on the water on the other side of the San Francisco bay. Not only is there a beautiful view of the city. But you can also see the Bay bridge and the Golden gate bridge very clearly. The hotel itself has been updated It was very clean, our room was comfortable and it is affordable. I would recommend a room with a view of the bay. There is a great aquatic park that the hotel is connected to which makes for beautiful walks and gorgeous sunsets I would definitely recommend a stay here.

I've stayed at a lot of budget hotels in my day, so I'm used to being ignored, but I was pleasantly surprised at the service here. The manager saw we had small children and went out of his way to move us to a bigger room at no charge. He even offered to help with our luggage, which was a first! Cleaning staff were similarly kind and friendly. It is still a budget hotel, so don't expect the Ritz, but the rooms are clean and have been updated/painted recently, the AC and wifi work great, and it's a safe and convenient location. Plus you can't beat the price. I've never written a hotel review before, but I genuinely want this place to succeed. Good luck guys, and thanks for the great stay!

It is easy to forget that you are right next to a busy freeway once you have checked into the Lafayette Park. The hotel has this elegance and charm that sweeps you away and so easily you forget about the busy hustle of life that still continues outside its doors. We were here for the wedding of our friend, and it was a wonderful experience staying in the suite, for the most part, the hotel was accommodating on every level except for room service. They were the only staff that were grouchy no matter what time we called to order. Otherwise, there are elegant touches to our suite that made the experience picture perfect and beautiful as we all got ready for the wedding and crashed that evening. I only wish I booked longer so I could truly enjoy some time escaping the world and the chaos and just lounging in the room and by the pool. I highly suggest paying for the upgraded suites, as each member of our party booked different rooms and you could drastically tell differences, and the suites are definitely an upgraded elegance.

Lack of clarity on the additional resort fee charged made for a disappointing checkout. Although I booked in the Accor App and it showed a total price with some comments in taxes, nowhere did it mention on an additional resort fee of $45 per day. I even spent 7 mins with the checkout agent to see where it was mentioned in my app booking but she could not find it. Disappointed with the lack of visibility on additional charges

The location of the hotel is very good and very convenient. There was a little episode when I checked in. The hotel said that I had not received Trip.com payment, and I repeatedly paid the money at the front desk. Finally, with the help of Trip.com customer service, the customer service corresponded quickly.

great price for a stay in bay area. great housekeeping. great breakfast. one car window smashed in parking lot- be careful and keep valuables with you. pool & waffle bfast. but bfasts ends early, by 9 am.

Never would I ever expect this unprofessional treatment from a Hilton company hotel. I specifically picked this hotel to have a COVID safe girls day with family. I was looking online at the rates when a third party company e-mailed me about booking the reservation and I called the number. I wanted to confirm that the room service and pool were open since things are different with the pandemic. The agent called the hotel to confirm and they said that both were active and open. I'm not sure who lied- the hotel or the third party, but I don't think that the third party would lie if they went out of their way to call the hotel. We get there only to find out that there was no room service, the 2 ft long pool was closed for renovations, AND to top it all off, the hotel was 90 degrees. Our family couldn't even stay because a member of our party had a panic attack over how disgustingly hot and stuffy it was. Amenities aside- the air conditioning not working ALONE should qualify enough for a full refund. When I got home from the trip, I called the hotel and explained the situation and I was told I would receive a partial refund. Not thrilled but at least it was something. Then today I receive an e-mail saying my request for a refund was denied. They said it ”wasn't in the hotel's control” which is honestly bs. I understand that I booked through a third party but to have to deal with not having the amenities we specifically booked the hotel for, the AIR CONDITIONING NOT WORKING, and being LIED to numerous times, I believe is perfectly within the hotel's control. Hilton has enough money in the world to be within its control. Absolutely disgusting treatment and I will never be booking with Embassy Suites or any other Hilton branch EVER AGAIN.

I stay at the property every time I visit my family and friends in the bay area. I always can count on a clean quiet room and good service. I typically check in at night and there is always a nice staff member regardless the day that I check in. The food is good as well as I have tried several items.

Have stayed at this hotel many times over the years when I come to the bay. Pros: - Nice breakfast - Kept clean - Spacious - Shower is really nice - Modern looking room Cons: - Clientele has gone downhill over the years - Elevators are slow or out of service - Increased risk of your car getting broken into at this location
