I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms are set back from the street in a beautiful courtyard filled with plants and flowers, creating a serene atmosphere. The cleanliness was top-notch, and it felt like the room was disinfected every time the maid service came in. However, the room was showing a bit of wear and tear despite being recently renovated.

The service was excellent. The staff was polite, friendly, and accommodating, even letting me leave my car for a bit longer than check-out time. However, there was a slight hiccup when they directed us to park in a no-parking zone.

The location is unique and doesn't look like other typical spots. It feels like a getaway, and though it's not ideal, it's close to some great attractions like the Golden Gate race track, downtown SF, and a delicious Thai restaurant across from Target.

The facilities were a bit of a mixed bag. While the hotel overall is lovely, the dining options fell short of expectations. The surroundings are beautiful with a mix of amenities, but the dining options were lacking.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although cozy, were a bit small. However, the courtyard setting full of plants and flowers created a comfortable atmosphere. The service was friendly, but there were some issues with guests' parking. The location was convenient for reaching family nearby, although slightly confusing to navigate. Dining options were adequate but not very exciting. The facilities were decent overall.

I must say, my stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The location was fabulous, with easy access to downtown Berkely and just a short distance from San Francisco, making it super convenient. However, the rooms seemed a bit old and run down, which was a downside. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch, extremely responsive, and helpful. But the dining experience left something to be desired, with limited options available. Overall, it was worth the money paid, but there were some areas that could use improvement.

The hotel has a great location near the North Berkeley BART station, making it easy to explore the Bay Area. The rooms are generally dirty and lack basic maintenance, but the staff is exceptionally friendly. The breakfast options might be lacking, but the hotel is close to the wharf for fishing charters.

The hotel is very convenient, close to North Berkeley station, and offers easy access for those arriving by car. The rooms had everything I needed for a quick trip, although there was a slight odor that seemed to linger throughout the week. The service, while not very welcoming overall, did cover the essential aspects like showing us where to park. The location is fantastic, especially for those utilizing the North Berkeley BART station and enjoying nearby eateries. The dining options were quite basic and repetitive, offering only pre-packaged pastries, juice, and coffee, which could become monotonous. Despite some shortcomings, the overall experience was positive.

My stay at the hotel was truly pleasant. The location was perfect, allowing easy access to my family living in the area. The rooms, although basic, were fresh and clean, offering comfortable beds for a good night's sleep. The staff was accommodating, especially when I needed to leave my car for a little longer than check-out time to take Bart to SF. However, the dining options were limited to basic choices, and the lack of hot foods was a downside. Overall, a decent value for the price paid.
