Top Hotels Near California Shakespeare Theater in Orinda from NZ$177

"From the grounds, rooms and health club to the amazingly helpful staff, this hotel is awesome!"

"Clean room. Great staff. Room service was good. "

"LOCATION - 5 Stars - Great, especially if visiting UC Berkeley; next to restaurants and shops and steps away from the University STAFF - 2 Stars - There were only 2 or 3 young girls at the front desk that we met during our 3 day stay. All of them looked unhappy at their job and seemed a better fit at a Thrift Store. CLEANLINESS - 3 Stars - much to be desired, specifically in the bathroom. Let's just say I was not about to use the bathtub. Throughout the room and bathroom, it looked like a deep clean was much needed. RESTAURANT - 4 Stars - Nothing spectacular, my salad was not fresh, but prices were reasonable and the service was fast. OTHER - 3 Stars - There was a very strong smell in the lobby, which I could not say what it was - candle or something else. While the decor in the lobby was interesting and inviting, it seemed that students and random people could just come in, buy a coffee and sit there using their computers. The room was a good size (we had the corner Campenile view) however, it did not feel clean, there was no pen, not even a single piece of paper to write a note. The Front Desk lobby area did not have any interesting materials on the area, what to do or see and I was not about to ask the front desk ladies, they did not inspire much confidence. There was no concierge either. Overall good location, but not even a 4 Star hotel."

"This was such a beautiful property. The host was clear with the check-in instructions and had resources for everything, from how the coffee maker worked to all the cool local spots to check out.My wife and I stayed here the morning of our wedding, and the host had approved our photographer to come and take ‘getting ready’ pictures of us, which was a huge bonus! The pics turned out stunning, by the way. I absolutely loved staying here and would 1000% stay here again!"

"The location was amazing for us. There were many wonderful shops, great pastries, and excellent restaurants, and you could get almost anywhere using public transportation! I just want to remind folks that this is an Airstream and essentially camping, so if you’re not a camper, this wouldn't be a good option for you. But it was perfect for us, and I think in the summer, the backyard will be beautiful and you’ll enjoy hanging out there."

"This was an amazing property ..easy in an out, good communication with owners..very friendly! It is in a great location and has an amazing view !! We will return do sure :) "

"I loved this quaint little retreat! It is a hidden gem.Once you enter the backyard, you see the lovely trees starting to bloom, ( it is the beginning of March), and you can hear various birds chirping.And, it is peaceful and quiet. I felt very relaxed.The small cottage is simply decorated with big windows looking into the yard, and a high beamed ceiling. Very charming."

"Host was very responsive. The studio was….awkward. It was spacious but huge couches /cabinets overwhelmed the space and made it awkward to move around. Bathroom was up some stairs and through 2 doors. Kinda small and again laid out awkwardly . Parking was a challenge on the second and third nights. Had to wait until spaces on the street opened up. On the last night, it rained. The hosts car was parked under a roof drip and had to listen to the drips thump on the hood of the car. "

"Lovely cozy studio. Perfect place to rest before the holidays"
