10/10 Exceptional

Our room was perfect, clean, comfortable and maintained. We would definitely stay here again when in the Berkeley area. Many thanks to the new owners and their staff!!

10/10 Exceptional

The facilites were great, but the reception was always empty. We had to leave early and haven’t received my refund yet. We left Monday 19th we dropped the key by the reception window.

good Berkeley option

Hotel is clean, well maintained, and reasonably close to the Berkeley campus (about a 30 minute walk). Trader Joe's is nearby and there's a good breakfast place across the street (Nations). Rooms are small and don't have space for much beyond the two beds (minimal sitting room for example). Few amenities other than parking and the basic room (no ice machine for example). But if all you want is a place to crash at the end of a day, this is a good option.

Racism

I enjoyed my stay, but was disappointed by the front desk staff keeping the door locked while I(black man) waited outside, despite there being space inside as another (white)couple completed their transaction.
Joseph, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very convenient place when visiting Berkeley. Close to campus and other points of interest. Place has been renovated and it’s so much better than before.
Roberto, 2-night trip

Room with king bed was tight. Might have been better to book the room with 2 queens or doubles.

Anne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent room, but poor (fixable) design choice

Overall it was a pretty good stay - good value, friendly staff. The room was a little small, but perfectly adequate. The only issue was something so ridiculous that I have no idea why it hasn’t been fixed. The mini fridge is essentially impossible to open. The cabinet door opens one way while the fridge door opens the other (see the picture). If the room was large this wouldn’t be a problem. But the room is small, so the cabinet door bumps into the bed meaning the fridge door can only be opened a couple of inches. It’s fixable - swap the hinges on the cabinet door.

economy value on University Ave

Good location on University Ave - about 15 minutes walk from either Berkeley or North Berkeley BART. The room was comfortable but teeny - there was a desk and a chair, but it was funny because everything was so close together, there would be no way to pull out the chair and sit at the desk! Also the A/C was so loud and clattering - we joked about it sounding like a propeller plane trying to take off. That said, it was totally fine. It was the cheapest option in the Berkeley area so I am glad that it was as nice as it was. It could have wound being way more sketchy and it was not at all. Owners were helpful and nice.

Great location for affordable price.

I liked that I was so close to the university and i was walking distance to the market. Very convenient location for an affordable price.
Anielka, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The area around the property -- the streets of Berkeley -- was a bit run down and depressing.
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was very clean. Convenient location. Kinda tight quarters.
Mark, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Wayyyyy overpriced for the location and size of room
Susanna, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worse than a motel 6

Room was completely misrepresented in photos. Condition of the room was nearly unusable. Loose lock, loose faucet, hole in the wall of the shower with shower doors ripped off and shower curtain outside it letting water dump onto the floor. No shelving in shower. Water leaking through bathroom light in the ceiling from the room upstairs. Bathroom door didn't shut correctly. Toilet paper roll was dirty. Door had gaps, was loud at night. Beds uncomfortable and loud, linens and towels weren't very clean. All outlets were loose, some didn't work, things couldn't stay plugged in. Hair dryer plug had been disassembled with the circuit board out. Could hear guests in other rooms talking clearly through walls and ceiling.
