Convenient location for downtown Berkeley. Next to BART subway, UC Berkeley and dozens of restaurants and shopping options within walking distance. I especially enjoyed the kitchen and was able to cook several meals for friends and family during our for night stay.

Keycards. I'd rather use my smartphone to hold door key codes.

The breakfast was outstanding! The waffles were amazing. We were going to go out to a restaurant for breakfast, but there was no need once we saw the free breakfast offerings.

The parking was very expensive, and then having to have tax on top of it seemed ridiculous. When you are spending over $350/night for a room, parking should be included or a less expensive price.

We loved it all! We loved the staff especially - all the staff, the valets, the front desk, the cleaning staff, the food service staff, etc. We especially want to thank Rhashana, our food service provider from Nepal. Rhashana greeted us every morning and made sure we were happy. Thank you Rhashana and thank you Marriott!

Invest more in a broader range of pillow options: some softer, some firmer, some larger, some smaller.

Lovely 4th floor clean, quiet, roomy king bed/ suite. Enjoyed “Study Hall” rooftop bar, breakfast had good & solid healthy food choices. Appreciated quick, courteous valet parking in congested Berkeley.

Unfortunately, we did not know we visited Residence Inn for overnight on UCB freshman orientation weekend & hotel was super busy w/ lots of guests. (I graduated over 4 decades ago from UCB & love Berkeley, but my daughter & I wanted a quieter accommodation.)

Personel very kind, problems are solved immediately after reporting. Room has a well equiped kitchen, coffee and tea. Very nice place for a shorter or longer stay. Excellent train connection with San Francisco. Private parking paid around 50 $ per day. Supermarket in a walking distance, some ready meals available in the hotel lobby to warm up in the microwave.

We had a room with Bay view, but the windows were rather dirty (everything else was clean).

Breakfast was excellent, lots of choices and tasted great. The room was large and the mini kitchen was so cute my kids opted to cook in rather than dine out. The bathroom was a great layout for a crew of 4. They welcomed my dog with a dog treat at the front desk too. Would love to stay here again.

$50 per night for parking and $150 pet fee.

The clerk who take care of check-in was super professional -- really excellent. The housekeeping people were always polite and careful. Lourdes, in particular, really excelled. All personnel was impeccable and highly professional, including people helping at breakfast. Breakfast is included and a lot of fun with the waffle stations. The fitness center is well organized an open 24h. Berkeley downtown BART station just a few steps away.

Great location. Very comfortable bed. Study Hall on 12th floor was gorgeous.

Really didn't like when we opened one of the cupboards in the kitchen and found an enormous dildo that someone had left behind. Certainly made it a unique experience.

Location was excellent for our purpose and that was to attend my daughter’s graduation at UC Berkeley but since we checked out early in the morning ,we did not get much from what we paid for.It would have been different had we stayed a little longer till noon ,but the city view was awesome at night and breakfast was very good.

Nothing except it’s quite pricey.

Excellent breakfast -on of the better I have had. Great staff, very helpful. Location is wonderful, close to restaurants and the UC campus. Parking is valet-only, though. The views were also amazing.

Better explanation of the parking rules. You cannot retrieve your own car. Other than that it was great.
