*Denotes within easy walking distance of Laboratory Offsite Shuttle Bus Service.
Numbers indicate approximate hotel rates: 1 over $150, 2 $95 - $150, 3 under $95.
For those staying in downtown Berkeley, there are two free shuttles that run regularly to the LBNL campus. The Orange uphill shuttle is the one that runs directly to Building 66. The Blue shuttle also goes to Building 66, but traverses the rest of LBNL first. The second shuttle stop after you enter the Lab is the correct stop for Building 66.
Information about the bus routes and schedules can be found online at http://www.lbl.gov/Workplace/Facilities/Support/Busses/. A map showing the lab shuttle service is shown below (click here for a printable version in pdf). A red circle marks building 66. A blue circle marks the shuttle stop nearest to the Berkeley Inn and the downtown BART station. A green circle marks the shuttle stop nearest the Bancroft Hotel.
