Hotels with smoking rooms in Berkeley, Oakland

"Well I hesitate to review this hotel because I like it so much lol. I have stayed there many nights over many trips in the last 15 years and I think it is perfect. I returned in March after three years gone and a lot of same friendly, welcoming staff is still there. Rooms can be small (club rooms) and not all have a refrigerator (so call them to double check before you book a type of room) but: (1) The staff is wonderful. Just good people. They go out of their way to be helpful. Obviously respect to them also helps. (2) Location--5 minute walk to the Ferry Bldg and Embarcadero and to the F trolley to the Wharf or Castro and stops all along Market St; 3 minute walk to California street cable car; 8 minute walk to Montgomery Muni and BART station and to many buses including 38R Geary express; 10 min walk to Chinatown and North Beach! The list goes on. (4) Great lounge with workspaces and complimentary espresso drinks. (5) Quiet area at night. No horns from traffic. I always feel like I am "coming home" to SF when I visit and that is because of the staff. Can't wait to go again."

"I booked a room before there it was nice. This time they gave me a room in a building call Historic. Basically it was old and falling apart. The door knob came off. The shower head was hanging and the elevator was small and broken. The worst was when I was checking out to get to the garage to get the car, it takes awhile to get there. The valet said I needed to go back to the front desk to get my ticket stamped. I have a disability and to go back amd forth was excruciating. While I finally got to the front to check out, others hotel guests were complaining about the same things and the staff seem to be used to this type of things. I will never stay there again. "

"Rooms were clean, hotel is a little outdated but other than that good stay."

"Perfect"

"We slept in our clothes. The hotel is in very bad shape. The shape. The bathroom pocket door did not close. Only hot water came out of the faust. The curtains were ripped. The door to the outdoors was dirty. The front desk would not call us a taxis to "

"The bedsheets are stained, and the floor wasn’t cleaned thoroughly."

"Everything was good. No bad issues at all. Larger trash cans in the rooms would be the only change I would make. "

"This hotel is dated and not worth the price that they charge. Had to have them fix the toilet twice and have them fix the sink because it wasn’t draining. The sink shouldn’t have drainage issues at this price and management should check these things. Wallpaper peeling. I get that it’s a historic hotel but I would stay somewhere else. Old school charm is fine but not at their rates. Time has passed this hotel by."
