I had an excellent, if all too brief, stay at the Durant. This has all the feel and charm of a boutique hotel, but the price is very reasonable. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. The room was great with nice amenities--free and quick internet, lemon-bamboo soap, and the most comfortable hotel bed in which I have ever slept.... more

We spent a night in Berkeley so that our daughter could participate in a softball camp at the Cal campus early the next morning. We needed a hotel that was pet friendly and close to the campus so that we could check out the area because she would like to attend Cal in a few years.I had read mixed reviews... more

Honestly, I had wanted to stay at the Clairmont Hotel but due to my displeasure with my phone conversation with their reservation person I got back on the internet and found the Hotel Durant. I didn't know anything about it, but I liked the price and the fact that you could park your car for free if it was a... more

My son attends Berkeley, and Hotel Durant was so perfect for the visit. Very comfortable. Charming. Took the train down from Portland, and I was happy with my stay there. more
