This is my 2nd time staying at this hotel and it was amazing! I loved the breakfast and the free hot drinks available 24/7. The bed was comfortable, and I loved how this room had a fridge and microwave. Also, the room’s temperature felt very cozy, especially during this cold and rainy weather. I will definitely stay here again the next time I travel to Berkeley.

This was a new fresh hotel with well decorated spacious rooms. My only complaint was the toilets are too low. It may be a hip hotel but parents and grandparents stay here for UC events.
