Hotels and lodging

Berkeley and the surrounding cities of Oakland, Emeryville, Albany, El Cerrito, and even San Francisco all have a plethora of hotel options. We haven't stayed in many of them ourselves, but will be testing a couple of them prior to the wedding and will be passing along any positive or negative reviews. Expect to pay around $100 a night for relatively cheap motels and $250+ a night for very nice resort hotels. We have links to the options that are close to the Brazilian room listed on the right side of the blog.

Location wise, the Berkeley, Albany, Emeryville, El Cerrito, and North Oakland areas are your best bet for the quickest access to the wedding location. We plan on providing a 50 seat wedding bus with a pick-up and drop-off location near one of the local BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) stations. The BART is relatively quick at getting to any of the nearby areas and can take you across the bay to San Francisco if you prefer to stay there. Most hotels will be a short cab ride or walk from a BART station. We'll be posting further details here so that people can get too and from the wedding with a minimum of fuss and problems.

  1. Our families used the Travelodge on University Ave. for our wedding in 2001. Their prices are now $100-$120 for a night and no one complained about the quality of the hotel.
