Make your stay in Northern California memorable with thoughtful amenities and the convenient location of La Quinta Inn Berkeley. Just west of downtown Berkeley, this pet-friendly hotel is two miles from the University of California, Berkeley and 12 miles from the excitement of San Francisco. Pro sports venues in Oakland are just a short drive away.

The hotel sits in a practical spot for exploring the East Bay. You’re close enough to stroll the UC Berkeley campus and visit the Botanical Garden, Museum of Paleontology, and the Campanile, which offers impressive Bay Area views. If your dog needs exercise after a day of sightseeing, the Berkeley Marina and Tilden Regional Park are both accessible for walks and outdoor time. Golden Gate Fields is nearby if you want to catch horse races, and Oakland’s pro sports venues are a short drive for catching games any season.

The immediate area around the hotel has plenty of dining and shopping options. Bay Street Emeryville and The Shops at Hilltop are both convenient for grabbing food or picking up anything you forgot to pack. A nearby BART station means you can easily get into San Francisco without dealing with parking and traffic—great if you want to visit Golden Gate Park, Fisherman’s Wharf, or take a ferry out to Alcatraz.

La Quinta allows dogs to stay with you at no extra charge, which takes the stress out of figuring out pet care while you’re traveling. The rooms are straightforward and comfortable, the kind of place where you and your dog can settle in without any fuss. Since you’re staying right in Berkeley with quick access to the whole Bay Area, you could easily spend several days exploring different neighborhoods, parks, and attractions. The hotel gives you a solid base without the premium pricing of places closer to downtown or the waterfront.
