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.

Just left after a 4 night stay while moving our son to Berkeley for law school. Great hotel. Extremely nice, pleasant, and friendly staff. Room was great - clean, comfortable mattress and pillows, and super effective AC. Would definitely recommend it. A+.

Very nice hotel for the price! The room had everything we needed. We were in a corner room overlooking the intersection so it was a little loud but they thoughtfully provided a white noise gadget that really helped! I like the double blinds that keep the light out too. Very friendly staff and we easily found parking nearby on the street. Their recommendations for food nearby are good but there’s also Creekwood for weekend brunch or dinner. Excellent! Just down Sacramento…

Exceeded our expectations!

We were very impressed with the service, comfort, decor, amenities and value of the Aiden hotel! The staff was friendly, helpful, kind and responsive to our questions and needs (e.g. what bus to take where, requests for more towels). Having coffee/ hot drinks and cold water available at all times was a real plus, not to mention bikes and bike helmets! Would stay again and feel lucky to have found it. The perfect small hotel with a great staff! Thank you, especially to the night manager who was gracious and very accommodating.
