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.

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.

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.

Maria

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was in poor condition — stained carpets, greasy marks on the bed frames and glass windows, a torn window screen, and peeling paint on the bathroom door. Not even water cups in the room. Breakfast was equally disappointing. When I arrived at 8:15 AM, staff informed me they were out of coffee and would not make more. There was no milk either. Perhaps we were given an inferior room (ours faced a busy avenue rather than the quieter neighborhood behind the hotel). Perhaps the staff member I encountered was simply having a bad day, or the person at check-in took issue with me traveling with a child. We paid more than $700 for two nights. Whatever the reason, the entire stay felt deeply overpriced and unwelcoming.
