8.2/10

The hotel offers a comfortable stay with a spacious king-size bed, but the room can feel cold and noisy at times. The location is convenient for exploring downtown and access to BART, but it may not be ideal for those unaffiliated with UC Berkeley. The dining options are nutritious and generous, and the service is outstanding in assisting with various needs. Despite some drawbacks, the experience overall provides good value for the rate charged.

7.0/10

The hotel's rooms, while consistently clean and of high-quality but not overly extravagant design typical to Berkeley, were unfortunately small and located right next to the elevator, making it challenging to sleep due to the noise. The service, friendly and surprising with thoughtful gifts at times, excelled in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The location, ideal for accessing UC and downtown Berkeley despite being in a vibrant yet noisy area, offered stylish surroundings. However, the dining options, though good, were limited and expensive. In terms of facilities, the hotel met basic needs but did not stand out in any particular way.
