The hotel is conveniently located near downtown and UC Berkeley, making it ideal for business trips or weekends in the Bay Area. While the rooms have a fresh and clean smell, they are on the smaller side and come at a higher cost considering the limited amenities provided. The service was friendly and accommodating, despite a few communication hiccups regarding incidental charges. The location's convenience near restaurants, Trader Joe's, and entertainment venues compensates for the reputation of high prices in the Bay Area.
Rooms
7.0
The rooms, though smaller than expected, had a fresh and clean smell. They were well-equipped with a microwave, mini-fridge with a separate freezer, and a large television.
Service
