Berkeley, Oakland hotel rooms at the Red Lion

"Felt safe staying here with my family. Parking is expensive but our car was safe and we had peace of mind. There are cheaper parking garages nearby which we were originally going to use, but while there we weren’t convinced they seemed safe. Entire property is clean and comfortable. Beds were also comfortable. I also used the gym which was on the smaller size but the equipment was nice and smooth. They sell to go breakfast for reasonable prices and there is a cute coffee shop down the street! I would stay here again "

"There wasn't a microwave or mini fridge in the room and the parking garage is the worst i've ever experienced. "

"Really lovely stay here! Great location, lovely staff and comfortable rooms. The downsides are that there was a broken hook in our room so we couldn’t hang clothes during our showers, and there was a metal part of the bed sticking out, so when I got out of bed it cut my leg. "

"Bathrooms are awkwardly small and double bed rooms were also smaller than expected. Ended up in a downsized room from what we reserved and expected. The industrial adult playground aspect of the common area wasn't as interesting as the listing makes it seem. Above average location, but value overall isn't great due to cost per night. Not super impressed and we won't stay here again."

"Not what it seemed"

"Hotel itself is great. We stay here often when we are in Berkeley. However staff are not trained for 5* hotel. Front desk is polite the most. There is no 5* wording and mannerism. Wait staff is indifferent and tired most of the evenings we dined there. A man who served at breakfast in a cafe was consistently dismissive and gloomy. Considering high end prices we expected a bit more enthusiasm and friendliness typical for such properties. That attitude takes away from the experience. "

"$35 for breakfast-- outrageous!!"

"For the cost of the breakfast I would have liked to have a bigger spread. The limited menu was not worth the price tag. "

"Good"
