This is my 2nd time staying at this hotel and it was amazing! I loved the breakfast and the free hot drinks available 24/7. The bed was comfortable, and I loved how this room had a fridge and microwave. Also, the room’s temperature felt very cozy, especially during this cold and rainy weather. I will definitely stay here again the next time I travel to Berkeley.
