Staff: Yana who contacted me immediately informing me that there was a mishap on my third party reservation and tried to rectify it, but with luck a family left early, we were able to get our two Queen beds. Kirrell (spelling? Killard forgot his name), who checked us in was very kind, Alicia who takes care of the breakfast pretty much by herself never left an item unstocked. I saw her start from 6:30am since I was looking for plastic spoons (I am sure she was there much earlier) until the end of breakfast. Breakfast is free and had an array of breakfast item. Parking is free, WiFi is free, has a gym, and location is centrally located in Berkeley. Clean hotel with an amazing staff. Marceline also was very helpful during checkout and really nice. Overall great customer service from everyone we encountered and interfaced with. Highly recommend this hotel.
