Hotels near University of California

"The staff was very polite and helpful. The room was clean, modern and comfortable. I will definitely stay there again. "

"I had a great stay at the Handlery Hotel! The staff were very friendly and always available to help, which made a big difference. I really appreciated the regular housekeeping, it kept everything clean and comfortable throughout my stay. One small downside was that I couldn’t use the pool because it was under maintenance, and my room didn’t have a microwave. However, the staff were very accommodating whenever I needed assistance, which made up for it. I also liked that there was a water dispenser on each floor, so I didn’t have to buy water during my stay. The location was perfect very close to the Union Square conference center, which was incredibly convenient for me. Overall, it was an affordable stay (under $500 for 4 days), and I truly enjoyed my experience. I would definitely consider staying here again! "

"The cost of the hotel is very affordable, and the pier is very close by."

"It was an older motel but renovated and super close and convenient to where we wanted to go. It felt safe and the little area above the drive way was so cute. My sister and I didn’t get a chance to eat there but we would like to if we stay again. I think it was worth the price, it was surprisingly quiet for being in the city and had really good coffee places and restaurants in the area all within walking distance. The staff was all great and overall felt clean and secure. "

"Everything good. Neighborhood is scary."

"The breakfast menu looked good, I saw when I got coffee, but we came down for the last 30-40 minutes and most of the food choices were no longer available. "

"Hotel was conveniently located about 10-15 min walking to nearest bus stop or cable car. 1 king bed room we stayed had a good size bedroom and bathroom for two people. Location of the AC in the bedroom bothered us since it was installed above the bed with fans pointing towards the bed and it was not possible to redirect the orientation of the fans. We had to run it before bedtime to air the room and then turn it off since it was too loud and cold but then room may get little stuffy. They charge $20 amenities fee which we never heard of in any of our stays in CA. This included breakfast which had tea, coffee and croissants and muffins which were not very fresh but edible. We rather have breakfast not included and not pay for it and choose what to eat ourselves rather than eating the same thing every morning. Staff was very nice. Overall we enjoyed our stay. "

"The carpets were dirty, black mold in the showers, the mattresses were cheap and uncomfortable, the elevator is slow, small and usually occupied. Took the stairs to the 5th floor and down most of the time. Aside from that, its good place to stay for a night or two on a budget. Parking is secured in a gated lot next to the hotel for $32-40 per night. Walking distance to good eateries. Recommend food within walking distance: Cafe Buenos Aires on Polk st. for their variety of fresh empanadas and desserts, fruit fruit smoothies and hot mushroom drinks and matcha. Then to have the stews/soups and other chinese foods at Hai Ki Mi Gia on Ellis. Both eateries keep a very clean place and presentation of food, on top of the food tasting delicious."

"Plan for nearby coffee and laundry."
