Fodor's Expert Review Holiday Inn Express

1175 University Ave., at Curtis St., Berkeley, California, 94702, USA

Convenient to the freeway and 4th Street shopping, this peach-and-beige hotel provides good bang for the buck. The three-story property is surprisingly elegant; high ceilings lend the lobby and rooms an airy quality. Each room has a small kitchen area with a refrigerator and a microwave; some include a sink and cabinets. Free amenities include Wi-Fi, a business center, a small but well-equipped gym, a breakfast bar each morning, and parking.
