My stay at the hotel was comfortable and convenient. The rooms were clean and cozy, although a bit smaller than expected. The service was below par, with unhelpful staff struggling to resolve issues. The location, though a bit sketchy, was ideal for accessing nearby venues. The dining experience offered good variety and warm dishes. Overall, a decent stay but could use some improvements.

My stay at the Holiday Inn Express was quite satisfying overall. The rooms were clean and well-equipped, although a bit noisy at times, and the hot tub needed better maintenance. The property's location was convenient for my needs, but the surrounding area seemed a bit rundown. The service was professional and courteous, although I encountered a slight issue that was promptly addressed. Dining options were acceptable but generated excessive waste. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel offered good value for the price.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of experiences. The room was adequate for a quick weekend stay, but some basic supplies and cleaning supplies were lacking. The service was a bit lacking, although they were very accommodating when we wanted to extend our stay. The location, although in a somewhat sketchy neighborhood, was convenient for our visit to Cal Berkeley. The dining options were pretty good, with a nice variety on offer. Overall, it was an acceptable experience with some areas needing improvement.
