Accomodations
August in the East Bay is full of cultural activity so you may need to be creative with finding accommodations.
We have reserved block room reservations at the Downtown Berkeley Inn, a contemporary boutique hotel located near UC Berkeley. Although there are limited services and amenities, the hotel offers free parking and is centrally, near a lot of great places (restaurants, cafes, shops, etc). Downtown Berkeley BART is a couple of blocks away.
Block rooms need to be booked by July 5 to get the discounted rates. They are listed under Insuaste/Chen Wedding.
