The room was beautiful, had everything we needed and was very clean. While the area around the hotel is under construction, we weren't bothered because we were there for its proximity to Cal, a mere 5 minute walk. There are a number of tasty restaurants nearby and the Bart station is literally across the street. It was the perfect base camp for our Cal visit.

The air conditioner in my room rattled throughout my entire stay. They first offered to tix the noise and never followed up with me for a change of room. I am thankful that I didn't have to stay in the room throughout the day as I just used it to sleep for a few (uncomfortable) hours.

This is an older hotel. Noise levels are a big problem. You can hear people talking in the adjacent room. Also, footsteps can be heard from the hallway adjacent and above. There is also a lot of street noise. The hotel has no bellhop when we checked in or out. The rooms are on the smaller size. Unfortunately, the Berkeley area has been affected greatly by pandemic. Empty storefronts and homelessness are everywhere evident.
