Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Berkeley cost?
Budget hotel prices in Berkeley vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $134 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Berkeley is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For travellers seeking cheap hotels in Berkeley, Illinois, focusing on areas just outside the immediate town centre, particularly those with good access to public transport, will yield the best value. Berkeley itself is a smaller community, so expanding your search slightly to neighbouring towns that are well-connected can often uncover more affordable accommodation options.

Couples looking for a quiet stay might consider areas slightly to the east or west of central Berkeley, such as those near the Eisenhower Expressway (I-290). This offers convenient road access if you're driving, and you can find budget-friendly hotels that cater to business travellers, often with weekend discounts. Look for properties in towns like Bellwood or Hillside, which are adjacent to Berkeley and typically have more competitive pricing than larger urban centres.

Solo travellers might find good value by looking at options with convenient access to the Metra commuter rail lines. Staying near a Metra station, even if it's a short drive or bus ride from Berkeley, allows for easy and affordable travel into Chicago for day trips without the high cost of city centre accommodation.
Is Berkeley a budget-friendly destination?
While Berkeley is generally considered a more expensive destination, travellers can absolutely experience its magic on a budget with some smart planning.

For accommodation, consider staying in more affordable neighbourhoods just outside the city centre, such as West Berkeley or South Berkeley. These areas offer great value and are well-connected to all major sights by the efficient public transport system, including buses and BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). Solo travellers can also find a wide selection of hostels and budget-friendly guesthouses.

Couples can save money on food by enjoying picnics with items from local markets or supermarkets in scenic spots like the Berkeley Rose Garden or Tilden Regional Park. Many of the city's best experiences are also free, such as walking through the University of California, Berkeley campus, exploring the vibrant street art, or visiting the Berkeley Marina.
How can I save on a budget hotel in Berkeley with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Berkeley. Unlock our lowest prices by joining One Key™, Expedia's travel rewards program. It's free and easy to sign up, and you can access member perks too. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
What free activities should we do in Berkeley?
Berkeley, Illinois, offers several free activities for budget-conscious travellers, especially solo travellers and couples, looking to experience the local charm without spending a penny. You can enjoy the area's natural beauty and community spaces, which provide a relaxing and engaging experience.

For those who appreciate the outdoors, the Berkeley Park District maintains numerous parks with walking paths, green spaces, and recreational facilities. Solo travellers might enjoy a peaceful stroll through Berkeley Park, which features mature trees and open areas superb for unwinding. Couples could pack a picnic and spend an afternoon at Emerson Park, enjoying each other's company amidst the tranquil surroundings. These parks often host free community events, so checking the park district's schedule upon arrival could yield unexpected entertainment.

Exploring the local architecture and window shopping along St. Charles Road can also be a pleasant, free pastime. While Berkeley itself is a smaller community, its proximity to larger towns means that a short, free bus ride could connect you to areas with more extensive public art installations or historical markers.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Berkeley as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Berkeley for you.
