One of the best stays we've had in the bay area to be honest. We needed to change rooms when we arrived due to adding another guest and we need ada. They actually offered for us to look at it beforehand to make sure it accomadated us, we've never encountered that before and it was so wonderful of them to offer. There is free coffee 24/7 in the lobby and it's so good. The staff as well as the cleaning staff are all so welcoming and make you feel right at home. The beds are comfortable, rooms are clean, hallways and elevator as well. Showers are a dream. Food available to purchase is affordable and a good little variety of options. Parking was easy peasy. We were too tired to go to breakfast so can't comment on that unfortunately. There are plenty of places around for food etc as well. We stayed to attend a concert at the Greek theatre and it was only a 9 minute drive away. Area felt very safe. We honestly loved it! Anytime we need to be in the area we plan to stay here.

Very clean. Quiet. Staff was friendly and responsive when we had a problem with television reception. Breakfast was excellent. Lots of choices of hot food and cold cereals and breads/bagels/english muffins. Ample free parking. Very convenient to Berkeley restaurants and shopping and to the freeways. Just a mile away is the Marina with walking trails next to the Bay in the park. Beautiful. Only 1/2 hour into SF across the Bay Bridge.

Great value, clean, well kept property. Staff were courteous and helpful. Free parking is an added bonus. Great location however sidewalks I'm this neighborhood might be tricky for some older adults to navigate, especially off a main strip. Great cafes across the street, and near freeways and public transport.
