    room condition

    Clean bedding and decent location, but needs significant upgrades

    I appreciated the clean bedding and the location close to downtown, which is convenient. However, the service was lackluster, and the condition of the room left much to be desired. The door to my room was difficult to open, and the overall atmosphere felt unwelcoming.

    great vibe
    memorable experience
    fun activities
    long check-in

    The vibe was great, and we loved visiting the nearby Berkeley Marina and checking out the Ferry Building. Such fun places for activities! Plus, the New Parkway Theater was a memorable experience for our group.

    The check-in process took a bit longer than expected, which was a downer, but overall, we enjoyed our time.

    poor service but a somewhat clean room
