Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located, offering easy access to Berkeley and nearby attractions. I enjoyed walking around the small boat harbor and nature trails nearby. However, the parking fees were on the higher side for a one-night stay.
The hotel has some positives like good rooms with real bathtubs and large sinks, but it's a bit worn out and faces the parking lot instead of the marina. The service is friendly overall but lacks some knowledge for specific inquiries. The location is beautiful at night but had some issues with room changes. The dining is considered expensive with mixed quality. Facilities are satisfactory overall.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the room had a disappointing view of a courtyard instead of the waterfront I was hoping for, it was comfortable overall. The service was friendly, but the ground-floor room facing the car park was a letdown. The location was nice, offering views of San Francisco Bay, but it's not the most convenient if you plan to visit San Francisco. The dining experience was marred by overpriced average food. The facilities were decent despite some dampness issues in the carpeted areas.
The hotel was comfortable and nice, though the rooms were a bit old but still cozy. The service was friendly and helpful, making the stay pleasant. The location provided beautiful views and easy access to attractions, however, the dining options were a mixed experience.
My stay at this mid-level motel was decent, with modern and functional rooms, although the bathrooms were a bit small. The pricing seemed high, possibly due to the Berkeley move-in weekend. Being located next to the ice machine and near the elevator was a minor inconvenience.
The hotel had very clean but dated rooms, with a bar-like smell and no cell service in my room, which was inconvenient. The staff, however, were incredibly friendly, always ready to assist with a warm smile. The location was not the most convenient for visiting San Francisco but was beautiful, especially at the marina, with close trails. The dining experience had both delicious and bland options, lacking coffee specialties. Overall, a mix of pros and cons but a friendly and accommodating staff.
