We stayed at this hotel to take part in our son's graduation from UC Berkeley. I appreciated that the theme of the hotel was about the graduates from Berkeley. They had a photo booth and the staff were very happy to snap some photos. The room was clean and spacious. I also like that the lobby is lively and comfortable to hang out. It fell very festive atmosphere to celebrate our son's graduation.

Best hotel in town

The bed was incredible and the room was so sound proof I could watch the construction across the street and never hear it. The staff were all top notch. I will stay here every time I go to Berkeley.
