Would definitely book here again!!
Liked: The room was comfortable and clean as well as well appointed with a mini fridge, microwave, real dishes & silverware, good storage for clothing, umbrella, hairdryer and the essential toiletries (even a packaged tooth brush &. Toothpaste.). It was right next to Andronico‘s Market a d really close to the Greek Theater.
Disliked: No parking and the pillows could be better.

Superb
Liked: Nice location in North Berkeley, safe and near to most of the cool restaurants and cafes. Comfy room with all you need. We stayed for 6 days .Super helpful staff.
Disliked: The bed is European size not American, so it's a little bit smaller than most of the hotel beds.No coffee machine (but you can get free coffee at the bistro)

A bit of a mixed...
Liked: Location, location, location! That's what SenS Berkeley is all about. Easy walk to all of North Berkeley delights, downtown Berkeley, the CAL campus. We also like meeting with the literary/artsy group that regularly takes coffee and such in the hotel's cafe. Although I have a bit of a diatribe of things that went wrong, we still like this little hotel and its friendly staff and its fantastic location.
Disliked: A huge disappointment was the disappearance of the $8 parking daily rate thanks to the new owner of the parking lot next door. The lot is closed. If you drove here, this means you are subject to hunting for limited parking at meters or spots that are only for 2 hours -- a parking ticket is $43! We were lucky, spending a Sat/Sun here, because Sunday is a free day at parking meters . . . also, most student are away for the summer June, July and up until mid-August. It will be very challenging finding street parking when the students return. Major parking lots are a few blocks away in downtown and are not cheap -- and it's not clear to me if overnight parking is allowed in those garages.A minor annoyance was the laxity of housekeeping. We had a towel that was more rag than towel hung neatly over the bar to disguise how bad it was until one of us, soaking wet, pulled it off to use it. There were multiple long hairs on the bathroom floor that were from a previous resident. I cleaned those up with a damp tissue. And there was a pitiful shower wand clearly meant to conserve water -- ok, we understand that -- but even so, the drain was clogged and by the end of a shower, one is standing in an inch or so of water.
