8/10 Good
"The view of the bay was great with groups rowing on the water jn the evenings. Staff was cheerful and helpful. Had to pay extra for parking. Real plates and silverware for breakfast was nice but the food was the usual instant eggs, etc. Didn't like the half shower door. Water got on the floor. And the open closet was a hazard. Accidentally walked into the clothes rod and bumped my head."

8/10 Good
"Super close to UC B campus. Not much amenities in the hotel services ( for example no ice or filtered water fountain for refil). Also, I got burned by hot coffee at lobby, but I can't find a quick access for cold water to deminish the pain ( the first floor bath room dose not have cold water ... ^_^, bad luck to me)"
