Property Description

With easy access to downtown San Francisco, the Knights Inn Berkeley is a convenient choice for your next trip to the area.  Our Berkeley, CA, hotel is located a short walk from the University of California, Berkeley campus, with easy access to the North Berkeley Bart Station as well as the AMTRAK Berkeley Station, making it easy to take advantage of everything the area has to offer from one central location. For a small fee from Oakland International Airport and San Francisco International Airport guests have the hotel arrange the pick up and drop off and both are less than 30 miles from our hotel.  Free Wi-Fi and free continental breakfast are a great way to start your day, while the Berkeley Downtown YMCA is a short walk away with a lap pool and exercise equipment if you want to stick to your routine.  All of our comfortable, spacious guest rooms come equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and hair dryer, providing all the comforts of home for your trip to Berkeley.    While visiting the UC Berkeley campus, be sure to take time to browse the UC Berkeley Art Museum or catch a show by Cal Performances, with options ranging from music to dance and theatre.  For an afternoon of discovery and hands-on exhibits, be sure to take the kids to Habitot Children's Museum and then head to Ohlone Park to enjoy the Berkeley sunshine while strolling along the many pedestrian paths.   A short ride on the Bart takes you to downtown San Francisco, with neighborhoods such as Fisherman's Wharf, North Beach and Telegraph Hill just begging to be explored. Enjoy fine Himalayan dishes at Himalayan Flavors, serving popular cuisine such as Tandoor dishes and chowmein.   Vegans will appreciate the diverse menu at Fellini Coffeebar, while the whole family can enjoy a leisurely brunch at Bread Workshop.  Monte Cristo Taqueria serves the best burritos in town, while Italian fans will go wild for the calamari at Caffe Venezia.
