Top hotels in Southgate
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina
The furnace was very noisy! Mattress was not very comfortable and there are no fans in the bathroom. I thought it was a law in California that they were required. The rooms are just getting older. It’s a beautiful property and the staff are very nice, especially the cleaning staff!
