I liked the convenience for visiting USC . The staff was very nice and helpful and the public areas are cute. They gave me a room with a confortable bed but it had a tiny bathroom and the tub was old and seemed like it was from the 80’’s. I only stayed one night so ut was ok but not a 4-star experience.

Bathroom was old. Sink was smallest Ive ever seen in a hotel. This hotel Should be half the price charged. After paying on Expedia for 2 nights, I was then charged a surprise destination fees and additional charges that could not be explained by the front desk. The front desk said to wait a couple of weeks to see if the charges go away. That’s the explanation.

A hotel in the middle of everything in Berkeley

If you want to be in the middle of everything in Berkeley this is the hotel. The staff is great but the rooms are a bit old now. This time the hotel had problems and for days the WiFi did not work that was disappointing.
