Hotels near Lake Merritt Station

"Very good overall. Would like to see that glasses in the room are wrapped to indicate cleanliness. Would also like to have coffee available in the lobby throughout the day and evening."

"The Housekeepers are friendly and do a nice job cleaning the rooms."

"Clean room and great breakfast"

"Great place if you’re visiting the Berkeley area or Cal in general. In walking distance of everything Cal related with great local spots everywhere. It’s a very old hotel and they have leaned into that, so if you want somewhere modern this isn’t for you, but if you want a piece of Berkeley history I highly recommend. "

"Great location near the dinner and concert we attended last night. Hot breakfast hit the spot Bacon and eggs with fork tender country taters. Very clean. Would stay there again for sure."

"Overall the hotel was clean, safe, and provided a good stay. My only negative was that there was a weird person constantly in the lobby area throughout my entire stay, which put me off using the amenities in there when needed. They didn’t seem like a guest but maybe staff on break? Not sure, but they were there every time over multiple days and made it very uncomfortable"

"It was an awesome stay in my healing process "

"Really sneaky hotel. Staff at the front desk did not mention how much the parking was until after the deposit was paid, as a result they will lock you into it before disclosing what is collected within the deposit. Overall not straightforward at all and just shady business tactics. Property is old and not up to current day standards. The bathroom tub in our room had cracks snd shower curtains were messy. "

I appreciate the transparency about how the third-party reservation was configured within your property management system and how the authorization was mistakenly placed on the billing share rather than the incidental share. That said, I want to be very clear: Sheldonmpatterson@yahoo.com is a valid and active email address, and 408.705.8015 is my valid mobile phone number. Both are correct and fully operational. Regarding the authorization, while I understand the internal explanation involving system shares and third-party billing structures, an authorization for the full room and tax amount—when the stay was already prepaid—creates unnecessary financial strain and inconvenience. Even if the amount does not ultimately post, an improper authorization can: • Temporarily reduce available credit or accessible funds • Trigger overdraft or over-limit fees • Interfere with other pending financial obligations • Cause reputational or credit-related complications in certain circumstances It is important to note that unauthorized or improperly processed charges, even if temporary, may carry legal implications depending on their impact and duration. Consumers are protected under federal and state financial regulations regarding unauthorized transactions and improper billing practices."
