Good service but old building with issues
Old building with small rooms, thin walls, and a terrible shower. The service was excellent and helpful, and the bed was comfortable, but I probably would not stay there again.

4/10 Fair

Property has run out of funding - presumably. Unrepaired nonworking elevator; functioning elevator you could hear the cables squeaking; dirty floors, booths and windows in common areas; empty coffee cups and dirty table tops throughout common area; multiple days foot traffic evident; on tile floors; parking lot inadequate so had to street park. Hilton “worldwide” transition and property rehab team there but also completely under staffed; Preposterous food service - on a Monday am at 7:30 no croissant or other baked goods, what was there was left from weekend; only one worker on duty to tend to line of 10 (how do you run a register and be a barista in a busy day, as well as make breakfast sandwiches all by yourself!). The staff were professional and polite and hard working but understaffed and stuck with what could be a gem property in an ideal location close to UC Berkeley but maintained like a dilapidated Super 8.

The only issue is the elevators don't always work. One was down and then later the other one went out.
