Workers could be seen using heavy machinery to dismantle some of the larger makeshift shelters at the Northwest Berkeley camp.

The DoubleTree by Hilton hotel at the Berkeley Marina owes the city nearly $700,000 in rent — a loss of revenue that has led officials to cut security staff and delay repairs of a crumbling dock, and could worsen the city’s budget deficit, Berkeleyside has learned. The hotel, which has been losing money since October 2024, stopped paying the city $82,000 in monthly rent in January, according to Berkeley Parks Director Scott Ferris. It also owes $190,000 in rent from 2024, he said.
