Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews report poor hygiene: dirty rooms, a hallway smelling of bleach, and at least one report of bedding causing itching — strong negative signal on cleanliness.
Service
9.4
Staff receive consistent praise for helpfulness (e.g., arranging a preferred room/view and friendly interactions). Some operational confusion (breakfast) noted but service interactions are generally strong.
Location
10
Overwhelmingly positive comments about the marina/waterside setting, views of San Francisco/Golden Gate and pleasant walks; location is the hotel's standout feature.
Room Quality
6.5
Mixed feedback: rooms are described as comfortable and well maintained by some, but several guests call rooms dated, note uncomfortable beds and very small bathrooms — average-to-below expectations.
Amenities
6.8
Amenities are mixed: waterfront walkways and firepits praised, but parking policies/fees, occasional broken smoke detector and limited restaurant hours/offerings reduce the score.
Value for Money
8.2
Many guests say the hotel is good value compared with downtown San Francisco, though extra costs (parking, pricey grab-and-go/restaurant items) temper the perceived value.
Food and Beverage
7
Several complaints about breakfast availability/communication and high prices for grab-and-go items; restaurant limited in service times, but no reports of food safety issues.
Overall Experience
8.9
Overall impressions skew positive because of the exceptional location and helpful staff, but cleanliness and dated room issues leave mixed experiences for some guests.

Hidden gem on the Berkely Marina - highly recommended!
Pros:

Loved the hotel and will try to come back. The only issue is that it's a little hard to get to, but once there, the location is magical.

Cons:

One minor point - the hallway smelled like chlorine bleach.

Very relaxing just what I needed to bring in my New Year
Pros:

It was a bit disappointing when my room had no view of Marina after I had reservations a month in advance. I was relocated. I still am wondering could I have had a better view if all was in order in a timely fashion. Yet they arranged my view which I did like regardless. It was my Birthday weekend.
Thanks

Cons:

I was sold on the breakfast being included in my stay. Unfortunately when we got up for breakfast I was told they do not provide Breakfast🤔. Did not like that

Cons:

Title: Poor Hygiene – Both My Son and I Experienced Itching

I stayed at this hotel with my 11-year-old son. After sleeping in the hotel beds, both of us experienced itching all over our bodies. It was extremely uncomfortable and seriously affected our sleep.

We are very concerned about the cleanliness of the bedding and the room. This was a very disappointing experience, and I hope the hotel management takes this issue seriously and improves its hygiene standards.

I would not recommend this hotel based on our experience.

Great hotel to relax in and much cheaper than downtown San Francisco
Pros:

Great location overlooking the marina, the city of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. Good sized room, comfortable bed, pleasant walking close by. Good value compared to anywhere downtown San Francisco and easy accessible from North Berkeley bart with a short taxi ride.

Cons:

Bathroom ludicrously small given the space the room has. Meals expensive in the restaurant and difficult to go anywhere else given the location.

Glad I had only two nights.
Pros:

Location is beautiful and free parking right in front of the hotel was a huge plus.

Cons:

The renovation of the rooms is long overdue, sadly. I has been a while since I've stayed in such poorly taken care of hotel.
