Great stay! We were there visiting UC Berkeley so it met our needs for two nights. I like the fact that they came in and made our beds. Plan on staying here again if my daughter decides on attending Cal.

We went to Berkeley to visit the UCB as my son got admitted together with another kid. We both stayed in this hotel and it was surprisingly close to the campus and very nice and clean, also with some restaurant nearby. Would love to stay again next time we visit Berkeley!

Staff was really nice. The surrounding part of the city was very dirty and there were many homeless.

Not what I expected

The hotel was in a really bad area of Berkeley. I was surprised that there wasn’t secure parking. The room was much smaller than expected and the floors were dirty. The staff was indifferent and not welcoming. The rooms are way overpriced for what you get. If I was returning to the area I would look into other options.
