Amtrak hates disabled people: We paid a premium for a room advertised as "Accessible." It was not…read more The door latch was broken and literally duck taped, causing the door to slam the entire trip--a clear safety issue. The table was jammed and unusable. For a room advertised as accessible and at a price of over $600 for a 4 hour ride, this level of disrepair is inexcusable. Also, the ticket was advertised as including meals, but there was no breakfast or snacks, and lunch was barely edible (reheated, stale food). Staff were kind, but the facilities and upkeep were not. For the price, this fell far short. I would not recommend booking an accessible room based on this experience. Save your money and just buy a coach ticket or better yet, just drive.

No interaction with staff because I already brought my ticket online…read more You need a code to use the bathrooms, and the SF connection bus driver let us know the code before we got off the bus. Did not use this visit. The kiosk/cafe that sells coffee/drinks was not opened, but they have vending machines for water/sodas and snacks. Did not use. The train was a little late, but we were adequately informed by the platform signage. No issues getting on the train. Coming back from Sacramento, the train was late and we didn't have time to even go into the station. It was directly to the bus to connect back to SF. Very quick boarding. And if you have larger luggage, they store it under the bus. Efficient service. Located on Horton and 59th Street.

Amtrak is another shining example of the California government failing the people. We pay the highest taxes in the nation, we have the shittiest homeless problem in the nation, we have the shittiest roads in the nation, and we have the shittiest trains and buses and public transportation in the nation. We just keep letting the government run all this crap and they are terrible. When are we ever going to learn? The swamp isn't only in Washington it's in Sacramento.

I'll probably be getting on and off Amtrak at this station if I attended UC Berkeley or Berkeley City College. You are better getting something to eat and drink from a nearby restaurant, coffee shop or other eateries and use the restrooms there prior to coming to the train station. This is definitely the station to get on/off at if you or anyone you know is going to work in Berkeley, attending Berkeley City College or University of California, Berkeley!

I'm more of an AC passenger if I have to rely on public transportation. Today I was meeting up with a high school classmate of mine for lunch in Berkeley. Ashby BART, 1:00 PM, corner of Martin Luther King Jr Way and Ashby. This station is okay...eerily quiet. I don't know what it is, but I had the "heebie, jeebie" in this station. It seems as though very few people use this station to ride BART to their destination. I usually can find the exit, but I got somewhat twisted in trying to get to the upper level to exit this station. Once I exited to the parking lot, I wasn't sure which direction to head to the meeting corner. I'm glad that my classmate called me to see where I was. Then there was a stranger (and a gentleman at that) who happened to be walking in the parking lot. He was headed in the same direction of my destination. I asked if I could walk along with him. He said okay. I thanked him for helping me out. When my classmate dropped me off, she told me to be careful and vigilant of my surroundings. The return trip on BART to Downtown Oakland from this station was somewhat weird. I had some guy standing about three feet to the left of me talking to himself - about breaking a leg. I did not feel comfortable because there was hardly anybody on the platform but two other people. I believe the next time I meet her for lunch in Berkeley, she can pick me up from the North Berkeley Station, which is a better and cleaner station.

The conductors are always pleasant, there are tables, power outlets, and wi-fi, and, oh did I mention the cafe car where I can grab a snack, coffee, or beer! Being from a small town in AZ with no public transportation, this train made all the difference in deciding to come to Berkeley. To be fair, it can occasionally be late, or too warm in the car, but the price for monthly unlimited rides is a bargain! I just wish the bring a friend for $5 on the weekend deal applied to multi-ride tickets...it seems like it was designed with commuters in mind and ruined by corporate big-wigs! None the less, I love this train!

We initially didn't know there was free parking in a nearby parking structure until our friends told us, but luckily we found free street parking around the area for two hours. First impression walking in was how clean the whole place felt. I also liked that there were so many different vendors and cuisines for us all to choose from. Whether you're craving Korean Food, Japanese Food, Peruvian Food, American BBQ, Burgers, or pretty much anything else, you'll probably find something here. Honestly, a lot of the vendors caught my attention because what they offered looked really good. We also spotted a cashew based ice cream shop, which was perfect for dessert after our meal. I also liked how everything was indoors too, especially since it keeps people sheltered from the weather on hot days. Another thing I appreciated was the amount of tables and seating made available. It didn't feel stressful trying to find a place to sit, and we were here on a Sunday. As we walked through the market, I thought the layout was designed really well. The way everything was set up made the place feel a lot bigger and more spacious than it actually was. I thought that was pretty smart. I'd definitely come back to this public market again next time I'm in the area.
