    We were in building 3 and got lost getting there more than once in the brief stay. It was frustrating, but probably could have been made easier for us. The rooms are dated. It looks like the lobby was upgraded, but not the rooms.

    Loved the location on the marina. We had a view, but since we attended a wedding the first day, we didn't really get to enjoy it. Of course, the cookies were fantastic. We even gave one to our Uber driver when he talked about the cookies. The lobby is beautiful.

    The directions to the hotel room weren’t enough, we couldn’t find our room and had to get help. In the bathroom, the hot and cold water directions were the opposite and took us some time to figure out without any clear indications

    Was clean and right next to the dock so you could see ships and enjoy a beautiful morning stroll

    Dated furniture and decor, the wood of bathroom door deteriorating. No exhaust fan in the bathroom (Isn't this against the law?) Penetrating odor in the hotel (due to cleaning agents?) Patio door eeds to be better cleaned. (Didn't get a chance to use pool or hot tub).

    We liked the room with a view of the Marina best. Ample opportunity to walk to birding area on one side and Cesar Chavez Park on the other. Quiet. Nice size room. Attentive staff. Restaurant was quite good.

    There was no furniture on the balconies (except for the marina view rooms), no microwave in room as stated in the ad, and parking was very highly priced. The hardware on the front door for protection was very cheap and could easily be broken off by anyone trying to get into the room.

    The location on the marina, having an outside dining option, and the staff were all wonderful. The rooms were very pleasant and comfortable. The breakfast add-on option was a great value!

    Our room was on the 2nd floor, we wanted to let some fresh air in; but our balcony sliding door wouldn’t open. The air conditioning was adjustable from wall; but the unit was very loud. Also, exiting the parking, we needed the room key; but the room key would never work on the exit. The room key did work entering the parking again though. Other than those few issues; the stay was nice; the hotel was clean.

    Nice views; not too much traffic.

    The carpets and walls were a bit shabby and the tv selection was lame. I was disappointed as a breakfast was advertised as included in the price but this was a fallacy. It is only included if you have some over-the-top gold plated membership. The parking was also kind of steep at $35 per day. We were located dab smack right next to the elevator, which was disruptive for a quiet night of sleep. Also there were $5 little plastic water bottles in the room for sale with a tag on them which said “Stay hydrated” which I thought was rather comical.

    The view from the room included the marina and SF in the distance which was lovely. The walk around the marina was pleasant. Our tiny balcony overlooking the marina was a lovely spot to enjoy an almond croissant from Berkeley Bowl for breakfast-see note about breakfast below. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom toilette products were nice.

    They leave two small bottles of water in your room with a 5 dollar price tag on each one and note that says, “stay hydrated.” Then I received an email in the morning saying they had charged me for the water even though we hadn’t touched them. They refunded the money but still! I’m glad we weren’t I’m the Mojave desert! It should be illegal to charge $5 for a less than 1$ bottle of water - ever!

    Great bed and great view.

    No complaints on this place from us. Concerning the location, if you do not have a car, use Uber/Lyft, or do not like to walk, this may not be the place for you. Walking distance into downtown Berkeley was about 3 miles.

    We had a great experience at this hotel. We were upgraded to a bay view room with a balcony and enjoyed the view of the marina. We used the pool everyday and found the fitness area nice and clean. The location is close to a few parks and trails .

    It’s a maze, it’s very confusing getting to your room & finding a way out to your car is confusing as well. Also- parking is 35$ a night which seems over the top

    The location is in a marina, isolated from shops, restaurants and other means of transport. It is far from downtown Berkeley and San Francisco. If you don't have a car, you spend a lot on taxis or Uber.
