This hotel was closed for several years after the rooms had been renovated. It still looks same today. Breakfast was continental , maybe. Out of cereal , only hot choice is waffles. Coffee was great. The place is well maintained, but dated and old. GREAT location and lots of parking. Staff did a great job.

We enjoyed staying at the University Inn & Suites. Our room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was good to have a good hot shower. The reception at the desk was helpful and breakfast was good to make your own waffles. Liked the inn had complementary coffee and water available near the reception office. The inn also has a swimming pool. There were many excellent restaurants in walking distance. Also the the AC 51B bus stop was two blocks away to go to the university or to the Berkeley BART station.

It's nice and clean and updated but the walls are thin and the breakfast is very continental. Could also use some new pillows. However, I will stay there again for the price and convenience.

6/10 Good

The rooms were generally fine. All the normal places were decently clean. However, the room was in desperate need for a deep cleaning. There were cobwebs on the inside of the window and I saw 2 bugs crawling around my feet in the bathroom (they looked like tiny cockroaches, but I’m not sure. I tried not to look for more). Spots along the grout and under the sink were utterly disgusting and where I’d assume the bugs were coming from. The free breakfast was abysmal, the worst I’ve ever seen (but it was free, so whatever), I definitely passed… But, this hotel was a cheaper option than competition and it was still better than some sleazy motel. So you get what you pay for, overall it was fine for what I needed. The only staff member I interacted with was the girl when I checked in, she was great.

This was my fourth time staying at this hotel, and it was fine (and the rate was good) but the breakfast used to be great, but since the switch away from La Quinta it's become pretty forgettable, which was disappointing.

The room was very clean. Breakfast had good selection of bagels, toast, instant oatmeal, cereal, yogurt cups & waffles along with coffee and tea. Staff was pleasant & helpful. Restaurants across the street. I didn’t need parking, but there was ample free parking.Water & coffee in the lobby.

We just needed a quiet room to sleep overnight. It was perfect for our needs. The night staff and day staff were professional and very nice to our family. We felt safe and slept well.

8/10 Very good

Hotel was in a great location for grabbing a bite to eat and getting to and from UC Berkeley. Plenty of parking which was fairly secure (they closed one gate at night). Staff was super friendly at check-in, which was quick and efficient. Rooms were dated but clean and comfortable. Hotel itself could use a 'refresh' but it was still a nice place to stay. Televisions in room had limited channel access. Continental breakfast (6-9am) had plenty to eat, although at 8:15 when we headed to eat, many of the items were low stock (OJ, cereal, waffle mix and syrup). Make sure to bring your own hairdryer, our room was not stocked with one. For the price and location, we would definitely stay here again

Parking was great, I was driving a box truck. Checked in late, no problem. Room was fine. Breakfast was good.

This is an old building and it feels it. The breakfast offering was very sparse. The only fresh food available was an orange and no protein options. The staff was very unhelpful/unfriendly. The linens were clean and the bed was comfortable. Parking is available on-site.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

The hotel does have a good location and I have stayed there several times before. It seems the management lost interests in maintaining the hotel to an acceptable standard. The bathmat in my room was dirty, still had black smuggles on it. When I went to the front desk to exchange it, the staff merely shrugged and gave me another regular towel. There is no hairdryer nor an ice bucket in the room. There is no liquid soap other than a few very thin bar of soaps. I had to ask for lotion. I will never stay there again. This most recent experience saddened me. I don't expect much when staying at a budget hotel. But the things I pointed above are the minimum. I felt like I didn't get the $200 I paid for.

Pretty clean staff was nice breakfast was good my daughter likes the waffles 😁 so overall was okay ..but I didn't like the price hike up on the weekend especially since we were here two days before the weekend .
Verified review

2/10 Poor

Our stay was not good. I had 4 people in my room and 3 towels, the pillows are micro sized, hair on the sheets. We did not stay for the breakfast because the room next to us decided to stay up in the middle of the night screaming (adults not children)so we left at 3:30 in the morning. Building looks run down, small parking lot but it’s free. Only bonus was we did get to check in early and I did appreciate that. I will not be staying here ever again.

Nice hotel near UC Berkeley. Plenty of parking and the hotel appears well maintained. The manager is nice and very accommodating. They have coffee all day long and it has a good taste. Neighborhood has small shops and restaurants. There is a bus stop steps away and bus #51B takes you straight to UC Berkeley’s historic entrance; avoid the parking headaches. We will return to this hotel. Thank you.
