Would totally stay here again. They do not have a parking lot but we only had to park 1 block away. The coffee shop in the morning is pretty delicious with lots of regulars enjoying their drinks here. Staff was very nice & friendly. Room was quiet & clean. Bed was comfortable. Fun neighborhood. Zero complaints.

Ground floor rooms facing parking lot, don't black out. If you're light sensitive sleeper, this would be an inconvenience. Rest everything is good.

In a convenient location, but also busy. No parking on site, but we were able to find nearby street parking fairly easily (weekend). A bit run-down. Lots of dining options nearby. Worked great for a quick weekend getaway.

This hotel is near my mother and in a great walking location in Berkeley. I have stayed here for years. Due to my schedule change, I stayed in two different rooms this time. Both were comfortable and everything worked. The rooms are starting to look a little shabby, it has been a long time since a refresh and it is due. I would stay again next time due to location and the very interesting coffee shop.

You could not find a better location if you're visiting Berkeley, in the heart of the gormet ghetto. Very walkable and convenient. My room was very clean, and quiet! The staff are very friendly and helpful. The building itself is just a little run down, but all the plusses totally compensated for that! I had a lovely stay with Sens and would stay there again!

Great stay!

Great stay at this hotel, it had everything I needed and appreciated the coffee in the morning. The bed was a bit firm, but it was okay. Would stay here again.
