Top hotels in Southwest Berkeley
Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG
Good location, expensive parking and breakfast (it's a full buffet) - but you can usually get a "discount" when reserving thru a 3rd party. Overall good value for the city.

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco
Great location and affordable for a quick stay. Close to Chinatown, several restaurants and you can walk down to the water. Rooms are small and very little counter space in the bathroom. Definitely a deal for those on a budget though!
