Water to building was shut off from 9pm to 6am based on notice left on door. I left at 7am and water was still off so unable to shower. Staff did not offer any type of refund. I requested a partial refund with a request for a phone call later in day to confirm. Staff did not call me. I called the next day and they ultimately gave me 50% off the second night but I should not have had to request the refund.

Fits the bill for a kid drop off at Cal

My stay was sbsolutely fine. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The AC was great! The room had a touch of musty smell, which cleared up after I ran the air for a bit. The over all feel of the room is a bit worn out, though CLEAN. So if you don't care about crisp renovated rooms, this Inn is fine. The staff was kind. The location, great! And I only needed the room to sleep.

Really nice!

We had a wonderful 5 day stay at this inn. Great location, helpful front office people. We didn't need our room cleaned, just clean towels midway through, but had trouble getting towels from housekeeping. Probably a language barrier. We recommend this sweet little hotel and hope to come back soon.

This is motel is a real value in Berkeley. We were in for a show at the Greek Theater. It is a very short uber from motel to theater and there are a lot of dining options nearby. Room was clean & staff friendly.

my partner and I stayed here for a concert at the Greek Theatre, we loved the area as it had many dining options and places to shop as well within walking distance. my only problem was that a couple nights the parking lot was full when we’d come back in the evening so we weren’t sure if we had to park elsewhere even though we were staying at this inn. thankfully after speaking to the front desk, they let us have a spot in a restricted area on the property still. there’s more rooms than there are parking spots so maybe there should be a rule that those staying on property get one parking spot at all times to avoid this issue with future guests.
