“What stands out is the rooftop terrace-views across San Francisco and Berkeley Hills are not something every hotel can claim. I like that they offer complimentary bike rentals; a genuinely thoughtful touch promoting local exploration. The location is ideal for anyone wanting to dive into Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto.”
