    clean room
    great coffee

    Great place for quick trips!

    Plus, the complimentary coffee in the morning was a game-changer for my late morning routine. It was exactly what I needed to kickstart my day.

    It wasn't overpriced, but certainly didn't feel cheap either.

    This hotel was set in a very central area next to the "Gourmet Ghetto", the best pizza and cheese shops and Downtown Berkeley, Bart, Berkeley Hills. Everything was good, nevertheless a few employees were very rude. I stayed in attractive, comfy room with extras-toiletries, a comfy bed.

    great value
    poor signage

    pleasant stay with thoughtful touches

    The spacious king room with a balcony offered a lovely retreat. Coffee in the bistro was really good.

    The entrance could use clearer signage.

    vibrant neighborhood
    difficult parking

    Parking woes, but great vibes

    Loved the vibrant neighborhood and the free coffee in the morning. The bistro was a fantastic spot to unwind and meet interesting locals.

    Be prepared for parking difficulties. The nearby lot was closed , and street parking is limited and can get expensive quickly.

    iconic location
    comfortable stay
    confusing entry
    limited breakfast
    parking fee

    The location was unbeatable, surrounded by renowned eateries and conveniently close to grocery stores. The spacious Queen Room featured modern amenities, including a large shower and a comfortable bed. Breakfast wasn't complimentary, and the entrance could be confusing as it resembles a small café. The parking was conveniently accessible but included a fee.

    great location
    dated decor

    Cozy vibes and great eats

    The room was comfy with a lovely balcony and all the essentials. The bistro on the first floor had free coffee every morning, awesome. Being so close to the Cheeseboard was a major win! Just a bummer that the place could use some refreshing as it's a bit dated.
