"No short term parking at entrance, but people seem to double park with impunity. Ring the bell and someone will let you in; take elevator to Mezzanine to check in. Real keys--one for front door, one for the room. Comfortable bed. Fridge with separate freezer (no ice tray), single serve coffee maker, microwave and hot water kettle. King room with bath had closet with hangers, iron and ironing board. Hair dryer in dresser drawer. No outlets in bathroom, mirror over desk. Nash Cafe next door open 5pm til late. 2 blocks to Downtown Berkeley BART station, 2 blocks to edge of Cal Berkeley campus. Lots of restaurants, shops and bars nearby. Check for Farmer's Market schedule. Note: parking at Center Street garage is (in September 2026) $25 per day PLUS $25 overnight."
