Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were very friendly and helpful both checkin and check out. The room & amenities were as expected, and were clean and quiet. Easy check in. Convenient location. Above average breakfast for the typical buffet (eg passion orange guava juice, press-a-button pancakes, good sausage gravy). Parking was convenient and onsite but the expedia review summary on this was misleading. The expedia review summary said "Free parking was a big plus with a secure and easily accessible parking lot." This gave us the impression the lot was gated or in some other way secured from public access. When we arrived we found the lot was not gated and open to the street. It's not the hotel's fault the expedia summary is wrong and doesn't provide description. We should have checked the hotel website. Also we appreciate the staff advising us so we didn't risk our items.

I liked the free breakfast. The pancakes are silly but the rest of the food and options was great. I would have preferred some kind of room service because after a long day walking around campus with my kid I didn't really want to go out again. But it was fine, there are nearby places to eat.

This is a good location if you are visiting Berkeley. The hotel is convenient to the university and back to the freeway. It is reasonably priced based on other hotels in the area and you do not pay for parking if you are a registered guest.

Baseball game couple's trip

We got a suite with jetted tub. The tub was wonderful but there was no soap down for the tub, only up for people standing to take a shower. Also, breakfast is included but doesn't start until 7 AM when most people are already on the road to catch their flight. My husband was treated rudely when he asked if he could at least have a muffin which was already out on the counter. The suite was a very comfortable size.

Our Stay at Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites

We went to check out UCB and the hotel was only a few minutes away which was great. Our hotel stay was wonderful. The beds were so comfortable. Everything was so very clean. Breakfast was yummy. Will stay there again.
