This property Way below Best Western standards

The only reason they are in business is due to the college town visitors and they care least about hospitality and service. Very dirty bathrooms,rude and indifferent front desk staff.Manager not on property most times and hard to talk to.But they hardly care as they keep getting business regardless of service due to Berkeley being a college town

Sure! Here’s a shorter version: ⸻ The front desk staff was unhelpful and a bit odd. I was placed in a room right next to the road—extremely noisy from traffic and foot traffic, making it impossible to sleep. The floor was also dirty, with dust coming in through gaps around the door and windows. For $293 a night, it definitely wasn’t worth it.

Price, location and availability of parking were excellent. Room, although a bit smaller than expected, was as advertised, very comfortable and lighting was excellent. Breakfast was very limited, but adequate. Toilet didn't flush properly at first, but was functional and got fixed as soon as I pointed out the problem. Overall, I was quite satisfied.

Not Worth the Saving

The bedding was dirty, and the shower was absolutely disgusting. There was even a used bar of soap left in the shower. The price was unbeatable since it included free parking, which is rare in Berkeley but not worth it. I am all for saving money, but there is a point where it outweighs any savings.

deeply unimpressed

The rooms had visible wear and tear, the sheets / comforter were stained, the staff was rude and my toilet didn't work. I had to fill the tank with warer just to flush it every time (awful) and when i told them about it, they did nothing to fix it. I then had to hear the man at the front desk yell on the phone through the wall since my room was next to the lobby.
