Very nice hotel with newer furnished rooms. Beds are comfy, desk area is very nice for the…read morebusiness travelers and always a benefit when there is a refrigerator. There's a sitting area as well so makes the room pretty spacious. For the bathroom, different layout than most Courtyards where the sink area is outside the bathroom it works although the counter space was quite limited. A big plus especially for this area is free parking and definitely lots of it. It's located more in Richmond than Berkeley but I liked that it was located near the freeway but not that close where you could hear the traffic. Unfortunately there weren't stores or restaurants with walking distance but they do have a bistro that serves breakfast and dinner and also a bar. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Pros: Great location, near plenty of stores and restaurants…read more Stayed here 4 nights, 5 days in Nov 2025. Joshua at the front desk was very welcoming and kind. Property well maintained, clean, and area felt safe. Plenty of free parking. Nice bistro. Loved the breakfast plate with eggs, well seasoned potatoes and bacon. They also make a nice breakfast sandwich. Starbucks coffee is featured at the bistro as well, tasted great. Rooms are comfortable and best of all, warm. We went during Thanksgiving so the area can be cold, was nice to come back to the warm room. Comfy beds, slept very well, nice selection of TV channels with Netflix, Prime, Youtube available as well with your login as well as local channels. Areas of improvement: Our room was not cleaned at all for the first 3 nights. They only offer every "other" day cleaning so this was very disappointing to come back to an unattended room late after Thanksgiving with family. I even asked them to make sure to clean at the front desk on the way out! The couch and ottoman in the room are dirty. Visible stains on the cloth as well as the pillows. Did not want to sit on it at all. Bistro only has one person working the front. Eduardo was working his butt off and needs a serious raise!! During one of our mornings, there was a line of about 3 people so we opted to eat elsewhere because we read online it can take very long. Marriot, please have two people working the bistro. Poor guy was taking orders, making coffees, doing it all up front. Also, chairs in eating area were dirty, needed wipedown. Elevator needs repair, only 1 of 2 was working, and it wasn't very smooth. Very hurky jerky. It also needed major cleaning. The walls of the stainless door unclean. Elevator floor was also dirty. It looked like it was only vacuumed once during our stay. Need to fix the lights that number the floors as well, small things count! Thank you for the free breakfast coupon for not having cleaned our room, we did appreciate that. Overall, room was good (minus the couch). I'm hoping these issues will be resolved because there were definitely some nice things about this place.

Thank you for the reply, but just so you know it wasn't another outlet to book it was your website…read moredirectly so it was what you offered online not a 3rd party and your team still wouldn't book for the price it was online. Like I said your website was not working and I showed them the price it was showing, definitely wasn't my fault your system wasn't letting me complete the transaction online Again no worries we found another hotel to stay at thank you

I was skeptical as I drove up to this hotel from the look outside. It looks fine but it wasn't what…read moreI was thinking it reminded me of maybe a dressed up apartment building when I drove up. But I will tell you looks can definitely be deceiving. The lobby is clean and the staff friendly and accommodating. The room was small but well maintained, clean, and very modern decor almost posh. I was traveling on business and this hotel ranks high on the best (without a full kitchen in the room) hotel I've stayed in on business travel. Quiet! And I mean church mouse quiet. I got the best sleep and no loud guests or door slamming. They offer valet parking in which it was $29 per evening. The valet parks the car in the hotel garage. They offer breakfast (hot or cold) that you could have brought to your room or you could go to the lobby dining area and enjoy. The breakfasts are for a cost. They offer free beverages in the lobby like fruit infused water, tea and coffee. Security seems on par as I felt safe in this hotel. There are some cool walkable restaurants and stores around the hotel. The staff were all nice to me. I recommend this hotel.

I've stayed at multiple Extended Stay locations, and while I've had some decent experiences in the…read morepast (including good continental breakfast options), this particular stay was one of the worst. Despite charging top-tier prices--comparable to the Courtyard Marriott--the accommodations were outdated, unclean, and poorly managed. Filthy and Poorly Maintained The entire building smelled like dog urine and smoke, including the hallways and elevators. Elevators had accidents from dogs (urine and feces), and the staff did not clean them promptly. Room furniture and appliances were old and worn out--not worth the price they're charging. My bathtub was stained pink, and cleanliness overall was questionable. Overpriced with Minimal Services They treat the hotel like an apartment complex, yet they barely provide cleaning services. Rooms are only cleaned every three weeks, and guests are expected to take out their own trash--all while paying nearly $3,000 a month. They don't even have smart TV options. How lame!! Breakfast was a joke--just coffee and muffins. No toast, fruit, or real breakfast options for what they charge. Unethical Pricing & Sneaky Fees Amanda, a front desk staff member, removed me from the system when I was extending my stay--this resulted in losing my lower rate and being quoted a ridiculous $3,300 per month. No one informed me about corporate discounts--I had to find out online that I was overpaying. They deliberately locked me out of my side entrance access and messed with my reservations in an attempt to overcharge me. When I checked out early, they refused to provide a receipt--I had to video call and take screenshots just to document my charges. Later, I discovered sneaky late fees and rate adjustments, meaning I likely overpaid. Rude & Shady Staff The staff had a "nice nasty" attitude--acting polite on the surface while overcharging and making things difficult behind the scenes. The manager was condescending, pretending to care when I checked out early, but was clearly upset I figured out their pricing scam. They watched me on security cameras and revoked my key access to certain areas without notice. They kept calling about a smoke detector issue that wasn't real, seemingly to intimidate me. Sending maintenance staff up to my room in the day when I was working remotely in my room. Final Verdict: Stay Away! This place is run by incompetent and shady management that tries to squeeze every penny out of guests while providing filthy, outdated accommodations. They might have gotten extra money out of me, but they lost a long-term customer. I had a six-month housing stipend and would have stayed, but their dishonesty and poor service made that impossible. Do yourself a favor--stay at the Marriott next door (do your research first) or explore better options. Avoid this place at all costs!

Upon entering the room, I was immediately met with an unpleasant smell, and I began to experience an allergic reaction. We proceeded to the front desk to request a refund from the receptionist, Cecilia. She informed us that they would inspect the room to determine if it had been occupied. We insisted that she come to assess the room immediately to ensure transparency regarding our refund request. Cecilia did not come to inspect the room and mentioned that they would check it later. I requested to speak with the manager, but none was available at that time. We agreed to call the manager. When I called, I spoke with the manager, Durga Dhakal, to inquire about the status of my refund. He did not request any information and simply stated that a refund could not be issued because the bathroom appeared to be used. I clarified that I had not touched anything in that unclean bathroom. He claimed to have taken photos of the restroom. I asked him to email me those photos to prove that the restroom had been used. He hesitated and eventually admitted that he did not have any photos. Avoid this place; you risk being robbed. The staff is horrible, customer service is terrible, and there are FLEAS,ROACHES & MICE everywhere.

I left immediately bc I wasn't safe. My second stay I'm in building 2, and the room is clean and my doors lock. It wants to be bougie real bad--and it's not--but it's solid. It is 5 buildings that all connect, kind of, with a center courtyard. Don't get lost! Guest laundry, decent enough gym (though cardio and weights are separate), pool, and hot tub.

The host at the restaurant was unfriendly to the point where I almost walked away, although I will say that the waitress I had was very kind. I requested housekeeping multiple times during my stay. I was later told it was not completed because my "Do Not Disturb" sign was up during cleaning hours. However, during previous stays at this hotel, staff still knocked on my door to ask when they could return to clean the room, which made this explanation extremely frustrating. On two separate occasions, front desk staff told me directly that my room would be cleaned, and it never was. One front desk employee was dismissive and spoke to me with an attitude that made me feel disrespected. To make matters worse, the hotel uses automated text messages sent from "Glenda." I responded around 11:30 AM requesting housekeeping because I had work calls scheduled. I left my room for a period of time, returned to find it untouched, and later received another text stating they were unable to clean my room due to a high volume of rooms. This contradicted what I had been told earlier and was extremely disappointing. The room itself is in serious need of updates. The walls are extremely thin--I could hear doors slamming, people yelling, and even the person in the next room using the bathroom. The lack of soundproofing made it impossible to rest or work. For someone staying away from home, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I've had. I ultimately checked out early and went straight home.

The hotel is only about a 5-minute walk from the campus and very close to BART, with plenty of shops and great restaurants nearby. The room is very well organized, the bathroom is spotless, and the bed is perfectly comfortable--not too soft or too firm.
