The hotel was great, but the location was not to our liking.
Pros:

The breakfast was good. The variety of choices were good. Coffee 24hrs was nice. The room was big and clean. I liked that there was a microwave, refrigerator and ice machine.

Cons:

I had wished the hotel had waffles instead of pancakes. The pancakes weren’t fluffy, they were thin and chewy. There were 2 homeless people on the street a 1/2 a block away. The hotel was too far from downtown Berkeley where all the restaurants are.

Concert Night!
Pros:

We liked that the Staff was very Kind and let us get there to relax a little earlier than check-in time, before the concert. We liked that there was a Foster Freeze right near the property.

Cons:

I found a little nat on my pillowcase and that kinda freaked me out! Otherwise, we slept well and liked our room.
