Met my expectations, would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

Breakfast was great, I liked that it was made fresh to order instead of a buffet style breakfast. Hotel grounds were taken care of, nice plants and view of the marina. Staff was polite and helpful. Beds were very comfortable and having a little balcony to step out on was wonderful.

Cons:

Our room had the adjoining door for large groups, and the doors are a bit thin, so early in the morning I was awoken to screaming children. Not really a big deal, but could be bothersome to some guests. It's not mentioned anywhere on the website (that I found) that to park your car there is a 45 dollar fee which could be a shock to some. I knew ahead of time by reading other travelers reviews. There is space to park across the road from the parking lot, so that is definitely an option as well.

I would stay again.
Pros:

All Employees was great (exception snack lady register). Had marina view, felt safe. Restaurant & parking too pricey $35-$60 for a meal, opted in public park.

Cons:

Bathroom was tight between tub & toilet, but rest of room was spacious and beds comfy. Love the gym and pool access.

Pros:

Nice location next to the marina with a walking trail in a city park and views of SF.
More of less quiet location from 10pm-6am (next to parking lot so cars starting when people checkout)

Cons:

Maintenance: Rust visible on some things, light switch had visible wires where broken
Cleaning: Mildew I could wipe with finger, and other peoples hair in shower
Parking: $45 surprise bill for an unsecured self parking lot (they blame hotels.com for having out of date info)

45$ extra for the parking
Pros:

Swimming pool and fitness area was nice

Cons:

45$ plus tax have to pay for parking. We got a room in building 4, smell of bleach was terrible and asked to change room and got in building 3 and was ok. Corridors, lifts, doors and carpets, are old, smelly and outdated. If it would be a motel and cheaper price would be ok, but not expecting that from 4 star hotel. Girl at reception waste a lot of time and couldn't add parking to the room card. At the end of the day at their restaurant had to wait a long time to be served and fish and chips order was with outdated fish. I am not picky, done road trip from Phoenix through Las Vegas to California, but here was the worst experience.

I love the boating atmosphere proximity to downtown Berkeley price was good. Would stay again..
Pros:

view of marina and walking around Marina, lots of parking very close to Berkeley

Cons:

The hospitality wasn’t as gracious as in some hotels. I.e. no free coffee in the lobby, or complementary snacks. We were told the free coffee is up in our room, but I didn’t have milk, because I couldn’t find the refrigerator until the next day. (hidden inside what I thought was the TV console.(OK maybe I was just tired and couldn’t figure it out.)
