"Hotel Nash is a budget hotel, so don't go in expecting anything other than the basics. But if you want to see Berkeley, it's clean, comfortable, and has a fantastic location in the downtown next to campus. I feel I got my money's worth."

"We had a great stay at this hotel it was close to the Greek Theater. The bed was comfortable the balcony was a nice touch. They don’t have their own parking and you can’t stay in the parking lot that belongs to the grocery store next door. We still managed to find good parking close and the car was safe. Were definitely going to stay here again!"

We enjoyed dining, shopping, and walking in Berkeley, but chose the location primarily for it's proximity to our friends. We will go out of our way to visit the Oceanview diner again! We really enjoyed the cool, foggy, and even rainy waterfront.

Until 10 years ago I'd lived in Berkeley most of my life. The city has allowed its residential streets to deteriorate to a shocking degree, and Telegraph Ave, the student area near the campus, is Grunge City. Still, a lot to like.

Berkeley is a nice town, but the biggest detractors are the number of indigent people hanging around. The city really needs to get a handle on this as it poses a serious health hazard and safety concern.

It was overall all okay area, but I would not recommend walking around alone at night. There are a lot of homeless people and it is not well lit.
"Honestly this experience blew my expectations out of the water. So many wonderful amenities, exceptional city view, roof top terrace and pool, fully equipped gym, and exceptional service and staff. Tom and I think Andrea went above and beyond to help us out at breakfast. I was so pleasantly surprised as these days it is very rare to find good service. The management is doing something right as everyone seems to like their job and is kind, happy, and polite. "
"The elevator attendants for the Cavana were sweetest, kindest staff we have ever experienced. Great food at the restaurant. The vallet were kind and attentive. rooms are clean, modern and comfortable. I only stay here when in SF"
"We had a fantastic stay at citizenM in San Francisco. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was excellent, with plenty of fresh and tasty options to start the day right. The common living area was one of my favorite parts — modern, cozy, and perfect for relaxing or hanging out after exploring the city.
The rooms are definitely on the small side, but they’re smartly designed and have everything you need. We didn’t spend much time in them anyway, so it wasn’t an issue. Overall, I’d highly recommend citizenM for anyone looking for a stylish, comfortable, and well-run hotel in the heart of San Francisco."
"Always love to stay at this hotel whenever I’m in SF! Very close to so many things and it is also a very quiet area. Will always recommend this location "

Location is great, its only a block away from Tenderloin where we try to avoid at night. "
"The staff was friendly, and the room was clean and comfortable. However, the refrigerator was not very cold, and the shower water pressure was low. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay."
