Have barista made coffee is an excellent perk. We also enjoyed the balcony big enough to sit and relax.
Elizabeth A, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Would totally stay here again. They do not have a parking lot but we only had to park 1 block away. The coffee shop in the morning is pretty delicious with lots of regulars enjoying their drinks here. Staff was very nice & friendly. Room was quiet & clean. Bed was comfortable. Fun neighborhood. Zero complaints.

6/10 Okay

Ground floor rooms facing parking lot, don't black out. If you're light sensitive sleeper, this would be an inconvenience. Rest everything is good.

James, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

In a convenient location, but also busy. No parking on site, but we were able to find nearby street parking fairly easily (weekend). A bit run-down. Lots of dining options nearby. Worked great for a quick weekend getaway.

6/10 Okay

This hotel is near my mother and in a great walking location in Berkeley. I have stayed here for years. Due to my schedule change, I stayed in two different rooms this time. Both were comfortable and everything worked. The rooms are starting to look a little shabby, it has been a long time since a refresh and it is due. I would stay again next time due to location and the very interesting coffee shop.

10/10 Excellent

I was surprised at how nice this place was, and the surrounding area. The store next to the place is also amazing, we bought stuff and made dinner in our room!
M, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great stay!

Great stay at this hotel, it had everything I needed and appreciated the coffee in the morning. The bed was a bit firm, but it was okay. Would stay here again.
Kristin, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

You could not find a better location if you're visiting Berkeley, in the heart of the gormet ghetto. Very walkable and convenient. My room was very clean, and quiet! The staff are very friendly and helpful. The building itself is just a little run down, but all the plusses totally compensated for that! I had a lovely stay with Sens and would stay there again!
