Nice stay but not worth $45 parking fee for one night stay
Pros:

Nice accommodations for one night stay on the way to California from Reno Nevada

Cons:

Paying $45 parking fee for one night stay. I won't stay here again; I'll pay closer attention to the parking fees when booking online in the future

Will return because of location, but needs a serious over haul.
Pros:

I really like this hotel. It's in a great location and it's quiet. There are two issues I have. It's really dated. I know its right by the water and probably the sea air doesn't help, but it could use a full on refurbish. For instance, the room felt clean and had some upgrades, bed was super comfy, but the bathroom grout by the sink was disgusting. Moldy and just not attractive. The outside of the buildings, where the rooms are located, looks drab and need repair. The doors on the outside buildings-old, all in all, it needs attention. It's such a fantastic property, why not fix it up?

Cons:

The $40 self parking fee. Little bit excessive.

Comfortable and convenient
Pros:

Location was great and beds were so comfortable

Cons:

Very tired/dated appearance, lots of maintenance required. We booked 5 rooms for 5 nights and had to pay for parking for 2 cars for the duration…. It felt like an extortionate amount

Gute Lage und sehr ruhig.
Kostenlose Parkplätze auf der Straße.

This is a great choice for a one-night stay as a pit stop to another location.
Pros:

Location - harbor and hotel restaurant are lovely; the pool and sauna were awesome!

Cons:

Parking fee and restaurant menu are too costly. While the room is priced as a great deal, it appears they make up for it with the parking fee and restaurant menu (2 cheeseburgers, 2 fries, and 2 cokes for $70!).

We love it there and will be back.
Pros:

We love going to this hotel as it’s like a little retreat from the hustle and bustle of town.

Cons:

The rooms are always very clean. However, the pool area with the hot tub, bathrooms, and workout space really need more deep and regular cleaning throughout the day.

A pricey disappointment
Pros:

Its a resort in name only. Except for a very helpful and friendly Manager there is nothing worthy to talk about.
For a 2 week stay we had to ask for room to be cleaned at least 4 times. When you ask you get patronized and insulted.
They charged $2 for a small bottle of water.
Rooms are small.
Twice waited in the restaurant for a drink and left after 20 minutes without being serviced.
Had breakfast once and it was subpar quality and size overpriced. Started to take Uber daily to downtown Berkley and found way better breakfast options.
Really cannot think of anything good about this place after two weeks except one manager who is really too professional for this place. Oh, the room coffee was good.

Cons:

Room service is sporadic and you have to beg for it. The Pool and spa area is unmonitored with kids jumping and splashing making it a most unromatic place. They charge through the nose for basic services.
The lounge is small and cramped if there is a game on. Overall there is better service at BART train station than in this hotel. And BART station has only machines, no service.
