Book a hotel near Orinda Theater, Orinda

"Karla’s studio is an ideal pied a terre. It’s an easy walk to campus, cafes, restos and shops. While close to amenities it also offers privacy and serenity as it’s tucked into the hillside, surrounded by trees and gardens. The studio was very clean and well appointed. Karla was a warm host, helpful and responsive to questions. I already dream of returning! "

"Great hotel. Small rooms but feels historic. "

"The check in and check out was perfect, door people, lovely, room cleanliness was terrific, bar staff was mixed (was there 2 nights: first night the bartender and server were terrific, the second night the server was literally unpleasant)"

"Everything about our visit to Merriewood Retreat was perfect! Lovely inside and out and hosts with the most! The garden is blossoming in many colors, the inside space (though hard to go in— it being so nice outside) had everything one could ask for including a super comfy bed, fully functional kitchen space and large, beautiful shower. We look forward to coming back!!"

"I've stayed in about a dozen Airbnb or VRBO rentals over the past few years and this is without a doubt my favorite of all. Located in a beautiful Berkeley neighborhood, the unit was large, clean and opened into a patio with paths leading to a very nice garden area on the lower part of the property. I highly recommend staying here!"

"This is my favorite hotel. The staff, location, rooms with views, and hotel vibes = superb. Even the room service dinners. I had a massage at the spa for my birthday! Excellent! I had my dog stay with me. She enjoyed the treats at the front desk! I have stayed here at least 5 times! I always feel so welcome. Many gems here like their onsite restaurant Limewood with a view! They serve a great house coffee! It was hard for me to leave but I will return! "
