Surprisingly quiet on a Sunday night. Windows open and fresh air made for a wonderful evening. Clean rooms and exemplary service was provided. Thanks.

Gross hotel. Avoid it. Poorly maintained and noisy. Not nearly worth the cost to stay there.

From my experience, it's a very old-fashioned l. It's very dirty in the room's. As far as carpets,and also from experience the entire building smells of mildew. And electrical issues big time. the walls are very thin. So you hear the people who work there talking and radios playing. It's loud in the night time. There's a lot of bums hanging around outside just waiting to rob or beg you for money. You offer them food their not interested. Only my opinion, I would definitely choose a different hotel, for cleanliness, peace, and fresh air. And they can definitely do better on the service situation. This is based on opinions and experiences to enlighten.

Attention. If you have to extend your accommodation, the rates become prohibitive.

Great coffee shop and enormously welcoming people. A rarely in the Berkeley community. Simply elegant behavior.

Située dans un lieu très calme et très peux bouillant. Malheureusement les murs de l'hôtel sont en carton, si votre voisin ronfle ou appel sa petite amie à 3h00 du matin, vous l'entendrez.

Nice amenities. Pretty clean, but the ppl that work the cafe are rude. When you have to be more polite than the pl serving you...?I asked for oatmeal toppings on the side & got a lot of 'tude. Then I asked if the bagel they set on the counter was mine and he said, Idk and walked away! Ahhh, wth?!

I think they serve the best cappuccino in Berkeley. I don't know why it took me so long to give them a try.

Dirty hotel rooms, picked up a friend, there, and was horrified and attempted to stay for coffee, but the cafe staff was rude!!!! Can't imagine these obnoxious baristas would have a job anywhere else. They are service with a grimace and were nasty to each other. The average age of the customer was 80 years old, so maybe the hotel has been converted into a convalescent home??

SenS is a friendly neighborhood cafe with good coffee and pleasant folks behind the counter.

I was skeptical of a hotel that was behind a bakery but I was very pleasantly surprised. The staff were very friendly., The bakery had a good selection of baked goods and add ons to make some tasty combinations and, as hotel guests, we got some free coffee vouchers. The location was wonderful with great restaurants, a supermarket, a drugstore, and other merchants nearby. The room had all the amenities along with a safe and a balcony with a table and chairs.

When I'm in town to visit my daughter at school, I'm glad I found Sens. Very cute boutique hotel. Close to Cal. Easy parking. They share the bank parking lot next door and it's $8/24 hours. That's a steal compared to the $28 per day that ends at 11:59pm. And it's in a good area vs the last hotel I booked. Not knowing the area, it's been hit or miss. So, I'm glad I found this place. This will be my go to spot so I'll need to remember to book early before it sells out during peak times like parents weekend or move in/move out dates. There's a cafe on the ground floor. We got drink tickets good for a small coffee or tea for each of us, for both days we stayed. If you get a latte or something else, they just charge you the difference. We didn't try their sandwiches, but we got pastries and drinks as we headed out for the day. They offer room service. Due to covid, if you want your room made up each day, they call your room at 9am to confirm and I think to let you know that you have to be out of the room while they clean. I always put do not disturb because I don't like my room to be touched. But this is just good to know. The Housekeepers were very loud in the hallway. We were getting dressed, but we could hear them making all kinds of noise. So if you're wanting to sleep in undisturbed, I don't think that'll happen here. Sens is located in the gourmet ghetto. So, you won't be lacking in places to eat. There's a farmers market on Thursdays nearby, so we walked there too. There's also a coffee house that's open til 11pm where you can play board games for $7/hr (I think). It's a bz spot. But so many good places to go within walking distance. I felt very safe so if there are any ladies on a solo trip, or traveling w kids, you're good to go. I drove to campus and paid for parking. But, I could've easily walked the 1mile to campus as well. Overall, very pleasantly surprised. Fyi, It was $513 for 2 midweek nights. My stay was wed to fri.
