This is where we stay when in the East Bay. It's economical yet feels like what might be a more expensive boutique hotel. The rooms, the beds, the service... all great.

The staff when we arrived was exceptionally nice. This morning’s departing front desk mgr might want to consider a different job. Needlessly surly and unpleasant.

I stayed here for two nights for parents weekend at Berkeley. It’s very clean and a nice hotel. The only problem and biggest problem is that my room ( actually all the queen rooms) was facing the main street so there was a lot of car noise specially at night when you want to sleep. Other than this it was a good hotel to stay in.

It’s not good feeling to communicate with manager at front desk. But all other staff (young guy and cleaning ladies ) are very welcome and great.

Comfortable and Clean
It was a great find! It was clean and comfortable and had a valet parking garage which is rare in Berkeley. We thought the roof top couches and fire pits were a really nice feature. We will stay again!

The property was clean and quiet and perfectly fine for a short stay. There were not a lot of great dining options in the neighborhood. The staff were friendly.

We stayed one night. The hotel was clean, comfortable and uncluttered. Ordered breakfast (fee) and it was delivered to our room at the time we chose. The staff were friendly and check in was quick and easy.
