Very good

Exceptional

Excellent. Highly recommended.

Liked: We were very impressed with the inner and outer appearance; there were plants outside our 2nd floor room window!The room was spacious, very clean, and the beds were some of the most comfortable we have ever experienced. The heating was very quiet and consistent. The location is convenient to the university, downtown and almost any other part of the city. Both staff members (night and morning) were pleasant and competent.

Berkeley history fans will love...

Liked: At the time of our booking, this was a very new hotel and the interior decoration and the vibe were great. Our bed and the bedding was very comfortable. The bathroom was very functional and spacious. To our great surprise, we found the name of a very good friend on the Berkeley history themed wallpaper in our room! Where can I get that wallpaper? The valet parking worked very well for our purposes. We discovered the rooftop after our stay.
Disliked: Our room was facing University Ave and while I requested a quiet room when I reached the hotel, we were directed to #207 which was not quiet. We ended up closing windows facing University and using air conditioning as a result. It was also not clear where we were suppose to put our suitcases for an overnight stay without completely unpacking. I would suggest installing hinged benches for suitcases that can be folded up when not in use.

Superb

We had a very comfortable...

Liked: Great location, clean, welcoming, up to date, amazingly comfortable bed.

Superb

A nice place to stay...

Liked: The property has a strategic location, as it is within walking distance (slightly uphill) to the UC Berkeley campus, and going there means passing cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. The property does not provide laundry service, but you can find two laundromats within three blocks (in a different direction), passing (again) nice cafes and restaurants. The property provides hot and cold beverages 24/7 in its ground floor lobby, and a snack stall, which is convenient. The room is in the intimate side, but nice and clean, has cable TV, HD TV, has a desk that is laptop ready, with access to wifi and charging stations. The shower room is small but clean and works well. The cupboard is rather tight. Otherwise, it was a nice stay.

Friendly staff,great location, I did...

Very good

Liked: The receptionist and staff were friendly and welcoming. Coffee and tea facilities were available at all times. The location was within walking distance of UC Berkeley, and restaurants. Hotel parking is available.
Disliked: There was no in house laundry service. Had to go a few blocks down the street to use a laundromat, but it was good.
