We demand a full refund and serious reprimand to management and owners. Safety issues!!!
Cons:

We had NO electricity in our bathroom. NO lights and the electrical outlets did not work. We told the staff after check in. They did nothing.

It was comfortable, clean,and suited our purposes.
Pros:

Room was clean and comfortable. Location was convenient for moving our daughter into her dorm at Berkeley. Decor was a fun take on mid-century modern.

Cons:

We walked to dinner and when we came back there was not a single space available. Had we taken the car we would not have had parking. There is limited parking on site so just be aware of that if you have a car to park.

It was a gross, sad experience.
Pros:

The shower was actually pretty nice. That's all that was nice.

Cons:

The breakfast was straight up terrible in an, is this a sick joke, kind of way. The sheets had weird stains on them and made us very uncomfortable. The lamp shade on the side closest to the window also had crazy weird, what the heck is that, stains all over it. We won't be going back. Nuh uh!
