Weekend Berkeley visit

Hotel is good. Rooms are recently remodeled and clean. Beds are comfortable. Good for a budget hotel, rooms were cleaned well every day. The only down side was the "breakfast"...only a couple of packaged muffins, cereal and a coffee maker....kinda a waste of time, had to go out to get breakfast. Like the location....not too far from campus

Noisy and not very accommodating.

The housekeeper was very friendly. The condition of our hotel room was quite run-down, and the front desk clerks were not friendly and seemed put out when I needed to visit the office. We were given a room downstairs, right next door to the housekeeping room. When we mentioned that the door next to us opened and slammed closed constantly and we heard running water and other noises throughout the day every day, rather than offering another room or some discount, the clerk simply said "sorry".

So bad! We checked in at 4 in the afternoon after finally finding the rude guy who works the office. The room was awful: strongly smelled of chemicals and bug spray, bedding visibly dirty, floors grimey. No way. Then we noticed 3 guys hanging out in the parking lot drinking many beers and playing their radio loudly and more loud music from an adjacent room blasting into parking lot. Why is this tolerated? We quickly decided to cancel, but the rude clerk wanted to argue about it and refused to give us a refund (he said his manager wouldn’t allow it, and that sounded like a lot of BS to me). Do not give this establishment your money. They clearly don’t care about the quality of their property or their guests but will gladly take your money. I seriously thought I would get sick or bugs from staying another seconds in that motel. In the future I vow to always check my guest room before I hand over my credit card.

First of all, front guy shouted to me credit card‼️I really couldn’t understood his accent, I’m not racist or prejudice. I’m second language English, maybe he is too. But, it was not good experience. I could hear road side and upstairs noise. I couldn’t believe this hotel is a part of Best Western hotel group.

I like this hotel because…

I like this place to stay when I visit my daughter at UC Berkeley because of the short walking distance to the UCB, very comfortable bed(s), new shower room, renovated rooms. However, the breakfast is not prepared enough. When I went to the office to pick up some food, only coffee and a few danish bread were left. It was 8:30am.
