Reviews and Ratings
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.
The hotel is conveniently located, close to important landmarks in Berkeley. The rooms were smaller than expected but still cozy. The service was friendly and accommodating. Dining options were good but slightly pricey. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a wonderful experience overall. The rooms were spacious, clean, and elegant, providing a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional, with a warm and helpful staff. The location was convenient, close to everything I needed. Dining was delicious, though a bit pricey. The facilities were well-maintained and enjoyable.
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.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but lacked some amenities. The service was top-notch, although not consistently super helpful. The location was perfect for accessing UC Berkeley and the Bay Area, but not ideal for families with children. The dining was generous but comes at a price. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel's location is perfect for downtown and attending shows at the Greek Theater. While the rooms were very small, the service was accommodating. Dining options were plentiful, but there were some disappointments in terms of availability and variety. The hotel facilities were satisfactory.
