Ok… needs improvement

Classic historical hotel built in the mid 1920’s now owned by Hilton. The rooms are old charm and reflect the history of Cal Berkeley. This hotel is just a 7 minute walk to the campus entrance. Immediately outside the hotel is a good variety of shops and places to eat around the neighborhood. My complaint is the hotel food and service. We were tired and ate an early dinner at the hotel. Food choices were limited and pricey but you had a waitress. My beef is the breakfast. Instead of sit down with a waitress you Get in line order and wait. Breakfast sandwich was a greasy egg and sausage Pattie on a hamburger bun. The coffee tasted like instant (same as in the rooms) and my daughter’s Matcha drink was terrible. I expected better from a Hilton owned property and the hotel manager needs to take notice. Again, go OUTSIDE the hotel for all your meals! I won’t make that mistake again

I’ll start by saying that the staff was amazing. My low rating is based on the fact that this hotel is listed as 4 star hotel and its price. It’s nowhere near a 4 star. 2-3 star at best.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The original price of this room was over $500. For that price point I would expect a professional staff and look and feel to this hotel. When checking in the person at the front desk was wearing a sweatshirt with his hood on. Also no friendly or welcoming. All the changes were not explained. Very few amenities, parking is a joke for the fees one pays, the lighting in place is too dim, sink in room was literally 12”x16”, it was difficult washing hands, the art work in the room was offensive (Black Panther and Marxist themed). Neighborhood is sketchy and run down. Can’t believe UC Berkeley is such a dump! So glad I didn’t pay full price for this place.

Overall we had good experience except one major issue: the sliding bathroom door failed and locked m daughter inside until I use a cloth hanger to crank it on one end to force it open. We told front desk and they sent someone to fix it but failed. So we had to leave the bathroom door open for the remains time of our stay, which is really inconvenient to say the list!
