"After a very pleasant stay at Mary's Bed and Breakfast I would like to share my experience with others who might be looking for a recommendation in Berkeley. Mary's B and B is a large comfortable home located on Alvarado Road in the Berkeley hills directly behind the historic Claremont Hotel. If you are up for a morning walk there... more

I highly recommend Mary's B&B! I have stayed several times in the last few years and am always impressed with the Mary's graciousness, the charming rooms, and wonderful breakfasts.

Over the past five years, I have travelled to the Berkeley, CA area for professional trainings on average two-three times each year. I discovered Mary's B&B on my first trip in February, 2004, and have found my "west coast home." Located in a beautiful tree-lined neighborhood within walking distance of restaurants and shops, Mary's B & B offers an elegant... more

In my opinion 'Mary's Bed and Breakfast' is one of the world's great BnB's. The rooms are tasteful and very welcoming in the feel they generate. Mary is a wonderful host.

Best bed and breakfast I have ever stayed in. The rooms were elegent and extremely clean. But the most impressive attribute is the owner. She was so accommodating and kind. I have to travel alot and this is one of the best experiences I have ever had! more

... we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay at Mary's B&B. The home and rooms are quite large , comfortable, and clean. Mary is the most gracious host we have ever experienced in any B&B; she is very attentive but not overbearing; the casual atmoshere is relaxing and refreshing. We highly recommend the zucchini bread! more

We have stayed at Mary's B&B for three nights. Generally, we stay in the hotels, but this time decided to try something different, and are happy we did. The B&B is in a charming house, almost a hundered years old, with an unusual floor plan and flow. It is located in the lovely area in the hills... A short walk... more

I have never in my life written an online review, but I feel obliged to write something here. I have stayed with Mary many, many times over the past few years, and have found both the service & accomodations to be uniformly superb. I do a lot of traveling, and would say that Mary's is possibly my single favorite 'home... more
