I am a returning guest. The room and property were extremely clean, pride in ownership is very apparent. My stay was for 8 days so was assigned one of the larger rooms on property. Staff is very friendly and recognize that I am a repeat guest.

The gentleman that runs the hotel is very professional and polite. Always willing to help out. The entrance to the lobby is always open and very inviting. The lighting around the outside of the hotel creates a nice ambiance. The room is set up to be fully functional, window you can open with nice wooden shades, all night ice machine and laundry machine. This is a great place to stay if you are traveling for work or fun; bus stop, convenience store, and restaurants within two blocks on each side. Just a half mile from downtown University Heights (Park Blvd.).

The manager was helpful in locating my lost keys. Turned out I left them at the front desk and was able to recognize them at sight. Of course I retrieved them only after I tore every inch of the room and surrounding outside. It would saved me some sanity if he had only left me a text or even called to ask about keys left at the front desk. One demerit: lack of courtesy towards guests. Thanks. T

When I visit family I need a place near North Park, and for years had been staying at the motels nearby on the Hotel Circle. The Berkshire Motel is everything the Hotel Circle motels are not. Clean, updated, quiet, walkable, and I felt very safe in that location.

Walls are very thin and I heard different people snoring. The say parking is available but they don’t have enough and people were paring in stalls that were not staying at the hotel. I will not stay there again.
