We had a fantastic stay here. The hotel's cleanliness exceeded our expectations, and the facilities were top-notch. Parking was convenient, and the location was perfect for us. We could easily walk to the Berkeley campus and catch the BART for a quick transit into SF or Oakland. Additionally, the hotel staff was incredibly helpful and friendly.
Nothing not to love.
The location of this hotel was perfect for my needs, as it was very close to UC Berkeley and the residence halls. The hotel facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the staff went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. The breakfast provided was delicious and had a nice variety of options.

The location was perfect for visiting the campus and exploring the restaurants and shops on College Ave. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the continental breakfast was simple yet delicious. We loved the quirky decor and the fact that it was in a quiet part of the city.
Can't fault anything about it.
Cleanliness - The hotel was tidy and well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant stay. Hotel facilities - I was impressed by the amenities provided, such as the desk, refrigerator, and safe in the room. Location very close to Berkeley - Being just a 5-minute walk away from Berkeley campus and school made it extremely convenient for me.
Nothing to fault.
