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.

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

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 .

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.

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.

An old building but luckily they keep the design of it intact. It is a bit need of some upgrades here and there but a great price and at a good location to downtown Berkeley and the Marina.

This is the second time I have stayed at this property and it was not a disappointment. Quick sign in and room was as expected. No trouble exiting the next day. I will definitely stay here the next time I'm in town for another concert.

The room was clean, but there was so many roaches in the restroom at night. I could not sleep at night after that, other than that, the room was okay.

8/10 Very good

The building and rooms are dated, but the hotel was VERY clean and had more amenities than some "fancier" hotels I have been in lately. We stayed four nights, and the staff was always friendly and helpful, even to the point of a maintenance guy helping us when we couldn't get our room key to work.... Thanks!

We were looking for a budget option in the Berkeley area and this fit the bill. You get what you pay for so it was fine for what it was. There were a few strange people coming in later at night, but they never bothered us, and aside from that, it was fairly normal for a motel experience. The staff was not present much which was the biggest challenge when our keys stopped working part way through. We also had to ask for basic items to be stocked in our room at one point. So, not great, but honestly, fine for a budget option.

Never will I ever stay in this dirty, smelly, old hotel where I got bit by bed bugs! A cockroach was walking across the ceiling! The room stank like mold and stale. The white sheets were no longer white! It was a terrible place to stay. Just me trying to save a few bucks and it back fired! Just don’t stay here.
