Hotel Mira Vista - El Cerrito, California

Trip.com M.

Selected this hotel because walking distance to my meeting place and because it had great reviews about cleanliness. However, on the first day, I noticed that there was someone's forgotten food in the refrigerator (so much for cleanliness). Also, on the hotel page, it said there were vending machines for food and drinks: the one for food gad some snacks in it, the one for drinks was totally empty. The positive note is that the night front desk employee kindly shared his water bottle with me. The fan in the bathroom was really loud and, after taking the shower in the evening I received a call from the front desk, because someone had complained about the noise (the fan) coming from my room! All in all, not worth the money I paid.

I stayed at the hotel for 4 nights in December 2024 and was pleased with the hotel.

The room and bathroom were very clean - the check-in process was very easy and quick.

I had a rental car that I parked in the lot each of the nights and felt safe that the car was there.

There are a lot of restaurants and other businesses around the immediate area and access to the interstate was perfect.

I'd have no problem staying here again or recommending it to others.

My wife and I stayed 11/18/23 thru 11/25/23. The hotel is located in a retail/commercial area on Potrero Ave, between San Pablo Ave & I80, easy access for auto travel. The BART is an easy 10 minute walk and public transportation is available at the corner of Potrero and San Pablo. A 5-10 minute walk east on Potrero will take you under the BART tracks into a residential area of single & multiple family homes and other neighborhood amenities such as parks, schools and churches. There are many restaurants, Safeway grocery store with pharmacy, and other retail stores within a half mile of the hotel.||It is an older hotel. I guess 30 to 40 years old. It was probably originally a low budget hotel of one of the major chains. We stayed at a room on the first floor. All the rooms have interior access. There are no outside access to any of the rooms. The room was clean and appeared to have been recently repainted. The room was equipped with a small refrigerator and microwave. The first floor had manufactured wood throughout, including the rooms. There was no carpeting. Our room had 2 platform beds. Both were very comfortable. The rooms were surprisingly quiet considering the location. The front desk staff and the housekeeping staff were friendly and attentive. There is a small laundry room with a a washer and dryer available on the first floor. Every morning coffee and pre-packaged bakery goods were available in the lobby. The lobby was clean and comfortable.||There were several issues with the room. The most disturbing was the condition of the desk. It was completely pocked with what appeared to be cigarette burns. However there was telltale smell of cigarette smoke so, perhaps the damage was done by some other means. The exhaust vent and ceiling/heat lamp needed cleaning. Also, the control switch for the ceiling heat lamp didn't work. There were drawers available for clothing storage. However, there was no place to hang clothes. The closet did not have hangers or a hanger bar.||We would stay here again. The quality, condition, location and price was right for us.

If I could give no stars, I would. Where to begin? I booked a seven day stay, left after 3. No 24-hour attendant. Pull out couch looked like it was used as a toilet, called and asked for them to change it or do something about it, and nothing was done. I could go on, but what I can say is, unless you're just looking for a couple hour bed, don't go there.

I booked this hotel because of its location, considering the fact that El Cerrito is a lot quieter compared to Oakland or San Fran, and it's a bit more cost effective to stay up that way as well. Top notch location also -- there's a fantastic restaurant across the street from the hotel and it's only a block or so away from a BART station. My room was nice, maintained wonderfully over the course of the 5 days I stayed there, and super clean. Super happy with my stay!

Positive: Location for what I needed. Negative: Staff wasn't to pleasant. Actually just one main man. The evening clerk that checked me in was nice. The bed wasn't comfortable and no continental breakfast.

Rooms clean at the least, pillows lumpy and no mini fridge. Front desk day staff rude, unhelpful and disrespectful. Would not recommend.
