Great value, clean, well kept property. Staff were courteous and helpful. Free parking is an added bonus. Great location however sidewalks I'm this neighborhood might be tricky for some older adults to navigate, especially off a main strip. Great cafes across the street, and near freeways and public transport.

Very clean. Quiet. Staff was friendly and responsive when we had a problem with television reception. Breakfast was excellent. Lots of choices of hot food and cold cereals and breads/bagels/english muffins. Ample free parking. Very convenient to Berkeley restaurants and shopping and to the freeways. Just a mile away is the Marina with walking trails next to the Bay in the park. Beautiful. Only 1/2 hour into SF across the Bay Bridge.

This is our second stay at this property. It’s clean, quiet and the breakfast offerings are delicious and plentiful. Would definitely stay here again. Downside is limited dining options to walk to from the hotel. Area doesn’t feel safe at night (to be alone). Bathroom could use another towel rack and lit makeup mirror.
