My wife and I attended a soccer game at CAL. The hotel is old but nicely renovated in a great location one block from CAL. Our room was small but had a very comfortable bed and large TV. The bathroom was clean but small with no place to set items, and the shower/bath had a straight shower curtain rod instead... more

Hotel Durant is conveniently located to the university when visiting family who are studying there. We choose it for this reason recently for 4 nights . The room was good but lacked the usual shower cap etc in the bathroom. We had to pay an extra $16 per day to park in their car park. It is cost more for... more

We spent one nite to go to a football game and see our son. The location is perfect and we knew the bar would be loud with partygoers. The hotel is beautifully decorated and very clean. Most of the staff are helpful but our reservation at a local hotel was never made. The room was over 80 degrees inside even... more

We stayed at the Durant for three nights while attending a workshop at UB. It's is adorable, well-located and the staff are helpful. However, our room was unbearably hot. We had to leave the windows open which caused us to endure glaring lights and street noise all night long. To get a cross breeze, we had to keep the door... more

We stayed at the Durant to catch a football game and visit my daughter who attends UC Berkeley. It is very conveniently located to the campus. The game-day activities at the hotel are a lot of fun for alumni. The rooms are rather small but not unusually so for an older hotel. There is no ac, but that is not... more

Super friendly staff, fabulous decor and GREAT location. Hotel Durant maintains a retro feel, but in a very modern and updated way. I love the college dorm historical tie-in. The location is such that you have a ton of great eateries from which to choose all on the same street and you're within walking distance to the best concert venue... more

It was my first time staying at the Durant and I can't wait to go back. From the time we walked in the door we were well taken care of. We were there to attend a concert at the Fox Theater in Oakland and the hotel was just perfect. The BART station was a short 15 minute walk from the... more

My husband & I stayed 1 night at the hotel & it was a horrible experience. We chose the hotel primarily because of the location. We had to go to UC Berkeley to attend an event. Anyway, the room was small. We both had terrible sleep that night because of the noise & the heat. The ceiling fan & light... more

I stay at the Durant every few weeks for business related travel, but I have enjoyed it so much I brought my family for a visit last spring. This hotel has it all at a great price - the rooms are clean and very well furnished. The front desk staff is incredible- I always feel welcome and comfortable, which is... more
