Great hotel near UC Berkeley
Pros:

Very nice hotel facility. Would stay here again. Staff were very positive and helpful. Good breakfast, and the ladies preparing it were friendly and efficient.

Cons:

Coffee was very weak. I found the Fellini Coffee Bar about a quarter mile away. Now THAT was excellent coffee!

Very Convenient, Friendly and Helpful Staff
Pros:

This hotel, on University Avenue, is near the "end" of it (or the beginning). If you like to get out and walk around, as my wife does, it is very close to a "neighborhood" and a famous "reptile store" (East Bay Vivarium), and not too far from a Trader Joes and a pretty good thrift store (Out of the Closet).

We had a sizeable 2-queen room. The lighting was excellent (important to me). Lots of counter space, but only 3 dresser drawers, but huge and deep.

The breakfast was one of the best I've had at a hotel. First day: 3 kinds of meats!, scrambled eggs (bah), fried potatoes, biscuits (fell apart).....the usual stuff. But, every day, hot cinnamon rolls and donuts like from a donut shop, not wrapped in plastic, but big and fresh. Their coffee was very good, with dispensers of flavored creamer.

For a hotel of this size, they have a pitifully small fitness "center."
