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.

4/10 Poor

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.
