Simple place to stay

Overall, it’s simply an ok place to stay nothing fancy. Hotel rooms were recently being renovated but in a budget. Good location in downtown and walking distance to shops and restaurants. I was woken up by a strange beeping noise coming from the attic at 2am. It kept beeping every 10 seconds and never stopped. Parking feels unsafe because it’s so close to the street and has no fence/wall. I didn’t have any expectation but hotel breakfast was a joke more like a snack protein bar.

This property Way below Best Western standards

The only reason they are in business is due to the college town visitors and they care least about hospitality and service. Very dirty bathrooms,rude and indifferent front desk staff.Manager not on property most times and hard to talk to.But they hardly care as they keep getting business regardless of service due to Berkeley being a college town

Sure! Here’s a shorter version: ⸻ The front desk staff was unhelpful and a bit odd. I was placed in a room right next to the road—extremely noisy from traffic and foot traffic, making it impossible to sleep. The floor was also dirty, with dust coming in through gaps around the door and windows. For $293 a night, it definitely wasn’t worth it.
