The Berkeley Richmond, Outset Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Make sure you are not in the rooms front from the restaurant across the street on a weekend, you can hear drunk people until 2AM."

Linden Row Inn

8/10 Good

"This is a very unique, historic property. Is well maintained, but naturally shows some sign of age. Bedrooms are huge as are the bathrooms. Staff was very nice and informative. A great welcome area and the outside space is lovely. Even with the elevators, there are stairs to navigate to get to most of the rooms. If you have mobility issues, make sure to ask for one that doesn’t have any stairs. Also, the beds are very high so ask the front desk if you need a stepstool. Would definitely stay here again."

The Commonwealth

8/10 Good

"Overall okay experience But a great location"
