Wonderful Surprise

Room was spacious and updated with new carpet and furniture. The room felt very clean. Terrific shower with strong water pressure and Dove soaps. Bus number 51B took us from the hotel to Berkeley city center and campus, we did not need to move our car at all. IHP standard breakfast are mediocre.

Very nice stay but they need to do a better job on

I got an upgrade without even asking and a very nice suite. I will say there is a lot of eco-friendly amenities like big dispensers instead of tiny little bottles. However there was no recycling bin in the room! And there wasn't one downstairs either. Thankfully the lady behind the desk said that she would recycle it and I hope she will. But what I really hope is that this hotel and the whole chain gets with prevention Reuse Recycling and composting. Nothing was recycled from The Breakfast room even though plenty of it was recyclable and some was compostable.
