I liked the free breakfast. The pancakes are silly but the rest of the food and options was great. I would have preferred some kind of room service because after a long day walking around campus with my kid I didn't really want to go out again. But it was fine, there are nearby places to eat.

This is a good location if you are visiting Berkeley. The hotel is convenient to the university and back to the freeway. It is reasonably priced based on other hotels in the area and you do not pay for parking if you are a registered guest.

Baseball game couple's trip

We got a suite with jetted tub. The tub was wonderful but there was no soap down for the tub, only up for people standing to take a shower. Also, breakfast is included but doesn't start until 7 AM when most people are already on the road to catch their flight. My husband was treated rudely when he asked if he could at least have a muffin which was already out on the counter. The suite was a very comfortable size.
