Hotels Near Lacis Museum of Lace and Textiles in Berkeley

The location is a bit far from downtown Berkeley, but it was clean and the bed was comfortable.However, I was surprised that the car noise was loud on the road right in front of me. Breakfast was served in a lunch box, and if you choose the food you want, you can bring it to the room on time and eat it comfortably. But I checked out for more than 10 days, and I didn't immediately cancel my deposit.

I’m a local, but it’s so nice to getaway for a quick staycation and Hyatt Place Emeryville is perfect. It’s close to shopping, restaurants and the movies and the staff are delightful and accommodating.

Great location for visiting our relatives. Front desk staff was helpful, and we appreciated that they had extra towels and toilet paper behind the front desk so that we wouldn’t have to wait for someone to deliver this to our room. Beds in our 7th floor room was surprisingly firm. Most hotels have worn soft beds. Bathroom is well designed considering it’s a small space. Bright lights and white walls with a modern shower reminds me of a deluxe cruise ship bathroom. Mini microwave in the room is a nice plus because the Trader Jo’s is right across the street. Free parking is a definite plus. And lobby area feels like a mini living room. At night, you need your hotel key to walk through the front entrance sliding doors as well as tap key to access elevator — great double security feature which I appreciated! And housekeeping staff were genuinely helpful and friendly.

I came here to meet my friend since we're in different hotels for the sales force event. My friend told me that Sonesta Hotel has a bar. First night was great until Gerrardo started talking to women from a different ethnicity how much he hates American women that we were garbage. I felt really angry. And when the 3 ladies across from me and my friend confront him he walked off... The other bartender Alice all I can say is amazing one of of kind person that's funny and can keep a crowd entertained. Second day same bartenders Alice and Gerardo. Let you tell you again was the same story but, instead of Garardo putting women down he started to talk down Chinese people while he was talking to a Japanese group telling them that Japan is number 1 that Chinese people are thieves that China steals Japanese people idea. I felt offended because I'm Chinese. And also that Gerardo smelled like so much alcohol that you could tell he's been drinking. I'm giving only a 5 star rating because of Alice I saw how she kept the bar going people enjoying themselves laughing so my friend and I joined the fun and joined the bar. She even apologized for her co-workers behavior and bought us a free drink. I told Alice dont apologized for someone elses behavior. ALICE You are amazing. This is the first time meeting a actual Tomgirl. Thank you for sharing your food with me. If Alice is the permanent bartender this would be amazing. She's knows how women feel and how they like to be treated.

I traveled to the Bay Area for a memorial service. I had my 90 year old, disabled father in tow. After the long drive, my dad had great difficulty getting out of the car and walking. The friendly and helpful staff was right there to help me and even loaned us a wheelchair for the weekend. We got a suite on the 5th floor. Although it was not ADA accessible, it did have a walk-in shower and wide doorways. There was a nice balcony with a great view of the bay. The bedroom and living room had separate air controls (which was wonderful as I run hot and dad runs cold). There is a full, 6-person conference table in the suite! My cousins brought dinner over and we had a family dinner right in our room! We also hosted family and friends in the very comfortable downstairs bistro area for drinks and conversation. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the food was great!

We chose this hotel because of the location for getting to the trolley, a Hop-on Hop-off tour stop, the local bus system, and the nearby BART system. For this it did not disappoint. The price is reasonable, and the hotel was very clean, and the staff was very friendly. From this, I digress. The noise level during the nights, was that a very loud level. All from external. Sirens, music, loud cars and trucks going by, garbage trucks in the middle of the night, quite a bit of yelling, and the like. Normal ear plugs did not help. If you stay here, you will need some heavy duty ear plugs. We get up earlier and the hotel lobby coffee was not ready ever before 7:00 a.m. there is coffee in the room, however if you need real creamer, you'll be out of luck until 7:00 approximately. Not a terrible review, just want people to be aware.

I stayed here during a conference where the price was raised to $240/night. If the price had been quite a bit lower as it might normally be, I probably wouldn't complain much. The location is hard to beat in terms of proximity to Union Square and the Moscone Center, and the front desk staff was friendly. Other reviews have noted that the rooms are dated--and I found that to be true as well. But, my room was clean. The wifi worked, and the rooms were insulated from noise from adjoining rooms. However, there was hardly any noise isolation from the outside. I was on the 6th floor facing Geary Street, and I could hear just about everything going on well into the evening. The heat in my room was also not working until my last night there--and that combined with very thin covers left me pretty cold (though the bed itself was comfortable). When the heat did work, it made a strange noise reminiscent of a dying cat, so I ended up turning it off anyway. One tip for taller or larger travelers: I am 5' 2'', and the shower head was only 2 inches above my head. So if you're much taller than me, you'll be bending down to rinse your hair. You'll also find the bathroom overall to be quite small.

I booked in for 2 nights here as a solo female traveller. I had confirmation emails etc. as proof that I had booked a single room - I arrived at the hostel around 6.20pm on a Friday to find I had been placed in a large mixed dorm. The guy on the front desk was polite but totally unhelpful apparently under instruction from his manager. I offered to take any of the female dorms but was told all were sold out. I could not take the bed offered by them in the large mixed dorm, and they offered no like for like alternative. I was told that if i cancelled my stay/didn't check in I would lose my full amount paid as it was outside the cancellation period - they didn't grasp that within the cancellation period I was getting the room I booked, so it wasn't a cancellation on my behalf and was instead them not supplying what was purchased. I wasted so much time here to be offered no help while going through ********** customer support - I eventually gave up at 9:30pm when my employer forked out for a bed in another hotel for me. ********** were meant to get a full refund for me, as they failed to uphold their part of the sale, but 2.5 weeks later I've had or heard nothing from the hostel. To pay for something which is totally unavailable, with no budge room and no option for a refund, is a total scam. Do not book here as a solo female traveller as you will not be respected or safe.

I stayed 3 nights in a female room, beds in a capsule style, a spacious and quiet room, a big locker, and it covered my bag, common bag and jacket. In every floor they have a lounge with TV, microwave, freezer, coffee and tea. The location is excellent, close to the market, public transport and tourist points at 20 minutes walk. I love and recommend!

No option but to use the compulsory $20 a night valet parking. The design of the atrium inside creates so much noise, that even on the 8th floor in your room you can hear restaurant/bar and people noise. Do not accept rooms 13 or 14 on any floor as there is a service elevator between those rooms that constantly goes and sounds like your own personal elevator in the room. Staff on the first night were less than helpful or understanding, but the following morning after about 3 hrs sleep, staff did give us a room move. --- Could staff training be improved to have them experience a night in one of these rooms so that when a guest has such a problem, they can deal with it promptly? I know they were not responsible for the design of the building, but those are the problems they should be able to rectify immediately. As a Hilton member on arrival, we got some complimentary drinks, but our encounter with the surly and plainly rude bar tender, convinced us we were not going to use up any more valuable minutes of our lives staying for another. (Can't recall his name, but he was late 30's bleach spiky hair and fortunately for him I tipped him whilst still processing how rude he was - 'thank you' are 2 easy words .... even if you don't mean it. I can speak form experience having tended a bar for 2 years in Scotland where 'tipping' is not in the vocabulary of drinkers, yet it still paid for me through College. Oh, and the early finish time for breakfast through the week was not helpful. Never stayed at a hotel that I can recall having 9am finish for breakfast where the doors are pulled closed on 9am!
