Valet parking only

We drove our spare car and it’s pretty old. A BMW pulled up and the guy was getting everything out of the trunk, putting it on the luggage carrier and completely helping the people. We pull up, we’re not greeted, we have to walk up to the valet and ask them if there’s other parking since they were ignoring us. My husband went and checked in and he had to get everything out of the car himself no offer of help. Another car pulled up, a Lexus, and they were helped very fast as well. People were being helped based on the car they had. Husband gave them the key and we came to our room. The funny thing is we would’ve tipped. And because we drove my husband’s crappy car, we got crappy service from the valet. The room is amazing. The front desk staff was amazing.

The parking is rather expensive. We gave our number and ticket to the valet who ending up forgotting about us. After waiting 15 mintues and watching other guests get in their cars, we asked where ours was. The valet said he would go get it. No apology for forgetting about us; no apology for the long wait. A rather disappointing end to an otherwise nice stay. Unfortunately, that's what sticks in my head about this property.

I had an extremely nice stay, location is convenient for the university and for restaurants and breakfast is great. My only complaint is that after my stay I had an unexplained charge from the hotel of about $90 on my credit card (beyond the room price).

Heart of the City, with Comfort of Your Home

We stayed as a family with our 3 children for 24 nights and 25 days. Apart from the rude behavior and unbecoming attitude of the valet staff at the Residence Inn Berkeley, one of the most beautiful spots in the city, everything was wonderful. We loved the cleanliness and spaciousness of the rooms, the friendly staff, and the entire team, including Brenna Miller, Gabriela, Teresa, Rachana, Maili, Maria, An Max?, Iris, Gregory, and a gentleman with a mustache and white hair whose name we couldn't get, who did the cleaning. They made us feel like family. While the breakfast wasn't as rich and varied as a Turkish breakfast, we were satisfied and pleased. We would have liked more halal options. The lack of free parking and the extremely slow Wi-Fi were disappointing. Having to eat on the 12th floor and enjoy the view for just 25 days was a bit heartbreaking for us.
