I stayed here for two nights for parents weekend at Berkeley. It’s very clean and a nice hotel. The only problem and biggest problem is that my room ( actually all the queen rooms) was facing the main street so there was a lot of car noise specially at night when you want to sleep. Other than this it was a good hotel to stay in.

Comfortable and Clean
It was a great find! It was clean and comfortable and had a valet parking garage which is rare in Berkeley. We thought the roof top couches and fire pits were a really nice feature. We will stay again!

The property was clean and quiet and perfectly fine for a short stay. There were not a lot of great dining options in the neighborhood. The staff were friendly.

Room was not cleaned while I was away for a football game. And NO I did not have the "do not disturb" sign out. I mentioned to desk person and all he said was "sorry about that". He may have been in college just working. They did have a "Hiring" sign posted so maybe they were understaffed.
