“Sather Berkeley caters primarily to budget-conscious business and solo travelers needing basic accommodations, but families and couples may find the experience lacking. Its location near a gas station and a restaurant offers some convenience, and while the bathroom is acceptable, concerns around room privacy and cleanliness temper any enthusiasm. For those not backed by corporate support, resolving issues appears challenging, making it a less appealing choice for casual vacationers.”
