Disliked: Staff & service
Rooms were ok, terrible pillows. A soul-less attempt at a boutique hotel, without the comfort or quality, but at a boutique price. Didn’t know my rented minivan would fit in their parking lot until I checked in. The feeble attempt at a gym on the roof was laughable.

The place was very clean and enjoyable. They do charge $29/day for valet parking which is the only off street parking they offer. It wasn’t clear when signing up. Also the street noise was loud but we were able to sleep with earplugs and it lessened in the early morning hours. I think they should had installed double pane windows. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms had hug quality furnishings and bathroom features (example- lovely shower tile and heavy glass doors). Felt well made and elegant. The bedding was very smooth. Chair and ottoman were great. The room layout is a bit awkward. Give it an A- for the price. Street noise only brings it down from A

Best Best Western Ever

The room was spacious and well appointed -- windows that opened for fresh air plus a good air conditioning unit. The bed was large and very comfortable with plenty of pillows. There was plenty of storage for our clothes plus the bathroom was well stocked with shower gel, hand creams, and towels. The only negative and it is only slightly negative was the shower wasn't very powerful but perhaps I wasn't using it properly. The decor was very, very au courant and appealing, too. Camilo, who received us at the front desk was very helpful and polite. We were happy to have found this lovely place to stay while in Berkeley.

Good value. Rooms were clean and fresh. Staff was courteous and helpful. Not fancy or in the high end part of town but I would recommend it for a short stay at a low rate. Glad we picked it.

It was a great value for what we got. Updated clean room, comfy bed, free coffee and tea in the lobby, nice roof top lounge area. It wasn’t the close to everything but we didn’t mind.
