Pros (+) The neighborhood. Excellent restaurants, bars, shops in walking distance. Awesomely diverse.
Cons (-) Older hotel. Could use an update but still no problem. You are downtown so it is a little noisy and there are homeless people around. But....this is what Berkeley is so don't be surprised.
Pros (+) The room, facilities, and staff are great.
Cons (-) Breakfast could use some work. It was okay, considering there is no kitchen on site. But it wasn't even good catered hot food.
