Un hotel bien situado, pero anticuado, sucio y caro
Pros:

Lo mejor, la ubicación céntrica, y el tamaño de la habitación.

Cons:

Varias cosas me disgustaron:
1. La limpieza deja mucho que desear para los estándares de España. Especialmente en el cuarto de baño y los cristales de la habitación.
2. El precio (250$ aprox. por una noche para dos personas sin desayuno, en 2026), me pareció muy elevado para la calidad del hotel.
3. Edificio anticuado, instalaciones anticuadas, muebles viejos,...
4. Aunque la habitación es espaciosa, faltan elementos importantes en una habitación de hotel, como una mesilla de noche a uno de los lados de la cama, lámpara para leer en la cama (solo hay una en una cama doble), un lugar donde sentarse,...
5. Falta de claridad en la propuesta: reservé en booking.com y, varias semanas después, me llegó un mensaje de que mi habitación no tenía cuarto de baño, y me ofrecían un upgrade para tener cuarto de baño. Muy mal. Es inaceptable que un hotel de dos estrellas no tenga cuarto de baño en la habitación y, peor aún, que esta información no esté destacada en la información de la habitación en booking. Esto último desconozco si es más responsabilidad del hotel o de booking.

It's not for everyone, but if you can vibe with a funky old Asian style 2-star hotel, it's great
Pros:

Chinese owned hotel, old building, located in the middle of downtown Berkeley walkable for tons of food - Trader Joes, Shake Shack, McD, burgers, Thai, Greek, even Burmese -- Berkeley (and SF by extension) has amazing variety of authentic international food options of very good quality. Room had refrigerator/freezer, microwave and coffee maker. Next door was the Nash Chinese restaurant, open late. Soap, shampoo and drinking water were provided free. Iron and ironing board in the room. Staff was helpful. Two beat up working pianos in lobby. Very close to Downtown Berkeley BART station.

Cons:

Kinda musty overall. Many rooms have bathroom down the hall (a cheaper option). No A/C. Drink machine had warm sodas. A couple homeless folks on the sidewalk outside (non aggressive). King mattress I had seemed a bit worn out.
