This is a good location if you are visiting Berkeley. The hotel is convenient to the university and back to the freeway. It is reasonably priced based on other hotels in the area and you do not pay for parking if you are a registered guest.

I liked the free breakfast. The pancakes are silly but the rest of the food and options was great. I would have preferred some kind of room service because after a long day walking around campus with my kid I didn't really want to go out again. But it was fine, there are nearby places to eat.
