“The Nash Hotel's location proves ideal for campus visits and exploring the surrounding Berkeley scene, including easy access to the BART. Though not a modern hotel, the staff earns points for being accommodating, particularly with early or late check-in requests. For travelers prioritizing location and value over amenities, this can be a reasonable choice.”
