Hotel's location lets you explore Berkeley easily
La Quinta Inn Berkeley is near the public transportation system, which is efficient and offers several rides throughout the day. The front desk staff is kind enough to help you in making reservations, printing tickets, and arranging itineraries. Moreover, the hotel has some connections with car service companies that always come in handy.

Small fitness area
The exercise room is not that big. However, it is very clean and you get to use modern equipment to have effective workouts. Furthermore, not so many persons use it so you can pretty much work out anytime you want.

Weird smells is present in the rooms and hallways
The hallways sometimes smell like rotten food. Some rooms have musty odors. However, the odors are not very intense to gross you out. In addition, the staff is efficient in spraying air fresheners. Moreover, opening the windows can help in getting rid of the smells faster.

Elevator is lacking
There is only one elevator in the whole building. It works slowly sometimes. However, it is clean and the staff is always ready to help you with your bags.
