Graduate by Hilton Berkeley

Tres bon hôtel très bien situé. Bonne qualité de literie. Seule déception : la salle de sport toute petite et sans elliptique, des machines oú il faut obligatoirement créer un compte et s’enregistrer, et pas de fontaine à eau.

Bel hotel tres bien placé a Berkeley a cote de l'université et des rues animées. Chambres pas tres grandes mais tres propres. Le café propose un petit dej un peu basique.

LOCATION - 5 Stars - Great, especially if visiting UC Berkeley; next to restaurants and shops and steps away from the University STAFF - 2 Stars - There were only 2 or 3 young girls at the front desk that we met during our 3 day stay. All of them looked unhappy at their job and seemed a better fit at a Thrift Store. CLEANLINESS - 3 Stars - much to be desired, specifically in the bathroom. Let's just say I was not about to use the bathtub. Throughout the room and bathroom, it looked like a deep clean was much needed. RESTAURANT - 4 Stars - Nothing spectacular, my salad was not fresh, but prices were reasonable and the service was fast. OTHER - 3 Stars - There was a very strong smell in the lobby, which I could not say what it was - candle or something else. While the decor in the lobby was interesting and inviting, it seemed that students and random people could just come in, buy a coffee and sit there using their computers. The room was a good size (we had the corner Campenile view) however, it did not feel clean, there was no pen, not even a single piece of paper to write a note. The Front Desk lobby area did not have any interesting materials on the area, what to do or see and I was not about to ask the front desk ladies, they did not inspire much confidence. There was no concierge either. Overall good location, but not even a 4 Star hotel.

Great location if you are seeing a show at The Greek. Very limited parking.
