Prime address on the venture-worthy San Francisco Bay (pro tip: snag a house bike so you can cover more ground).

Spread tired wings in the suites: bedrooms with French doors, separate living rooms and fully equipped kitchens. Talk about homey.

Apartment-style suites are large and modern.

Among other tasty items, the free breakfast includes two must-haves: waffles and all-you-can-drink coffee.

Scores ya an address right on the harbor.

Indie-chic with urban flair (we heart the city scenes on the walls).

Château-style architecture and design so well done we nearly picked up a French accent.

Throws in a free breakfast.

Perfectly captures that whole effortlessly-cool vibe Berkeley's going for.

Craftsman-inspired design, Bath & Body Works amenities and free WiFi all score big bonus points with us.

Dubbed the ‘Little Castle,' this 1930s hotel leaves a big impression with grand architecture and charming sitting rooms. Top hat and monocle not included.

The name doesn’t lie – you’re right downtown, an easy train ride from San Francisco.

Only 5 min from the airport, but don’t start hoofing it – hop on the free shuttle!
