Sather Hotel Berkeley, SureStay Collection By Best Western

Comparatively speaking, the price is a steal! The room was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. Staff was friendly and accommodating. It was pouring rain when we got there and my clothes got soaking wet. House keeping put them in one of their dryers for me and brought them to our room when they were dry. We had a really pleasant stay and will definitely be back!

Horrible supposed to be part of Best Western hotels should not be, but make it worst Best western doesn’t take accountability for letting them be part of their collection. Was charged 200 extra dollars for my room then said sorry it will take 3 days receive back. When it was my money for my trip then don’t get me started on the breakfast !!! Just stay away and don’t give these people any business.

This is a conveniently located hotel right on University a few blocks from Berkeley. It has a small parking lot which can be full sometimes but there is street parking as well. The rooms are functional, but nothing special but they are clean and everything works.

Sather Hotel was fantastic! The rooms were a little small, but they were laid out well such that it didn't bother us. The staff was incredible, including Josh and Sam and the main guy (forgot his name). The location was excellent for our purposes. Breakfast was pretty small, but still very good. I hope to return!

Room is Basic in need of TLC. Definitely dated. Had some chipped paint. Light fixture not secure. It was fine for us to sleep overnight. It's a basic motel. Not at all like a typical Best Western. I'm guessing they were recently purchased by Best Western and hopefully upgrades to come soon. The breakfast was grabngo (toast, oatmeal, yogurt, coffee). Staff was friendly and accommodating. Great central location to UC Berkeley about a mile away from campus. We strolled the neighborhood and plenty of places to eat within walking distance. The staff were very kind and friendly which was the best part!

I travel for work so I see my fair share of hotels and this is my first time ever leaving a review for a hotel. I have never witnessed a more impatient and unkind staff. Please consider staying somewhere else for your own sake. My bathroom hadn’t been cleaned when I got there and there was still urine in the toilet and stains on the sheets. Please find somewhere restful.

This was a very disappointing experience. I booked this hotel on the basis of the pictures and the two excellent reviews on the website. My experience was the opposite. The hotel is several blocks away from the central part of downtown Berkeley, on the opposite side of MLK Jr Way, among gas stations and other unappealing buildings. It is actually not a hotel, as it does not have a lobby or any public rooms, just a motel-style shabby office instead of a lobby. I was not told anything about breakfast when I checked in, but I was asked for a $100 deposit; I have no idea why, because there was nothing in the room worth stealing. ||||The room opened directly from the parking lot, motel style. The mattress was old and sagging, and the sheets and towels looked and felt very old. The room had not been renovated in a long time, and had shabby walls and broken plaster. On the positive side, the bathroom was clean with modern fixtures. ||||I had reserved the room for 3 nights, but one uncomfortable night was enough, so I checked out the following morning. The cost for the first night was the standard rate of $139, but I also had to pay for the second night, which was an astronomical $354 + tax, so priced because it was the UC homecoming weekend. No doubt the room was sold to someone else, given the shortage of rooms in Berkeley that weekend, but I still had to pay for it too. So much for the SureStay Collection by Best Western.
