Gosh not sure where to begin. So many things went wrong. First off this is a tired looking hotel. We were not familiar with the area, so went by the name of hotel chain La Quinta. Won't do that again, huge disappointment. We were going to stay two nights, but after one night here, we were more than ready to... More

We stayed here for my cousin's wedding in Berkeley. The hotel (really a motel) is older but clean. It is perfectly fine for sleeping and getting ready, but not really a place you would just want to lounge around. They have a nice breakfast in the morning and it was a bit different each day. My kids tried the pool... More

I was a bit worried with some of the reviews...but it was the best price for Berkeley, so I tried it. Each visit was great. The front desk were very friendly. I requested a quiet room, and I got one. The beds are confy and the little balcony actually opens up to fresh air. Yes, I did hear the train-but... More

I'm really surprised at the bad reviews of this hotel. Look no further for the best bang for your buck in East Bay-try to book through Hotwire. This hotel was clean and the staff always greeted us when we walked in the doors. There's a comfortable lobby lounge area and a dining area for the great deluxe continental breakfast which... More

Stayed here while our son checked out UC Berkeley. Place needs major overhauling. Rooms were smelly and could use updating. People at front desk were not very pleasant. Have stayed at many La Quinta's and they are usually great, especially for the money. This one falls short. More

I had to wait 30 minutes to even get a glance from anyone at the front desk when we came to check in. Customer Service 101: Always greet people when they walk in and if you're on the phone have that person hold and help the person standing in front of you! then when I did get service she was... More

When we got to the hotel the front desk was accommodating since our booking through exPedia had not yet come through. However that completely pales in comparison to the bathroom. It wasn't clean a d the was diarrhea left in the toilet from a previous occupant. Hardly with your money. There are plenty of other hotels in the Bay area. More

We stay here because it's dog friendly. We are completely shocked tonight to be subjected to an outrageously loud party in the ballroom right outside our door with electronically amplified music, a DJ yelling at the top of his lungs, raucous guests and screaming children running up and down the hall right outside our door. We are told this will... More

We haved stayed at a La Quinta at the SFO airport several times and love it. Unfortunately, this is the second La Quinta we've tried that we hated!!!! What's up with this chain? Don't they care about their reputation? I know they are individually owned and operated, but someone has to control the quality. It's not a "value" if it's... More
