You can choose from so many different hotels here in California near UC Berkeley that you will have to stay at Bancroft Hotel at least one time while coming to the area. If you are a parent of one of the fine college students you will find this hotel a real one of a kind and is located directly across the street from the University. You will pay more for these rooms than maybe for others but I can tell you it is well worth the extra money or at least it is to me.
