The room was filthy (smelled like mold, dusty) and the TV did not work nor did some of the lights. The shower had a weird slimy feeling on the floor. The night I stayed there I asked the front desk how I reach out for partial refund for the state of the room and the TV not working and she told me to go through the Expedia app and I did yet no one has gotten back to me. Their \"breakfast\" consisted of old fruit and they ran out of milk. Overall super unsatisfied with my stay. For $218 a night I expect a room that doesn't smell like mold, walls that are not damaged, TVs that don't work, and have dust-covered lamps that don't work.

It's located in the heart of Berkeley, easily within walking distance of both the downtown (which can arrived at via the BART) and the college campus. The staff were all great. I was a little disappointed by the free 'breakfast.' basically toast, oatmeal and other processed food. The second day they did have some fruit. The room was small and relatively clean but definitely showing its age. I enjoyed my stay.

Not a five-star hotel, but fine for an overnight stay. The room was clean and functional. One of the USB plugs did not work, but there were others that did. Location is on the edge of the downtown district, but still within walking distance of UCB. Nation’s burger location next door is a bonus for a quick meal.

Front desk staff gave wrong info about the guestroom phone when I called a few days before arrival. He said that the guestroom phone can be used to make local calls and perhaps long-distance calls. However, when I checked in, I found that the guestroom phone is not calling the front desk only and the phone/clock did NOT work.

There was also NO front desk staff before 7 am. So I had to call them later for them to email me the receipt because I checked out at about 6 am.

Breakfast was minimal and all items (except fruit) had very high sugar. There was also only one type of fruit each morning: either banana or apple.

The room was nice and clean, the bed was comfortable, shower was hot and clean. The breakfast was basic: pastries, yogurts, coffee, juice, cereal, and oatmeal. Parking was free which is a plus. The soap dispenser was a little unsanitary in our opinion as you had to grip the bottle and squeeze the soap out rather than just pumping it out from the top. The main downside was that the room was not so soundproof. You could hear as people walked by the room and as they spoke, you could hear the housekeeping carts as the rolled up and down the walkways, you could hear traffic driving past the building, and we even heard someone snoring from the neighboring room. There was certainly room for improvement, but I still wouldn't say the property was bad.

The arrival experience was terrible. Got to the hotel with my family 9:30pm but the lobby was locked and there was no front desk agent onsite. They left a note that they would be back in 20 minutes but only came back almost 40 minutes later, so we had to sit in the car while was waited. It’s the worst arrival experience ever. I probably would have scored them average if that didn’t happen. Rooms were quite small too.

The room was fine, but the first night we couldn’t sleep at all. The walls are insanely thin, and our neighbors were all noisy which made sleep hard.

The rooms were spacious and nice. The parking lot had limited capacity. I arrived around 9pm and there was only one space left. Cost of the room was under $150. Downtown Berkeley before you get to campus is underwhelming, with plenty of homeless folks seen on my morning run up to campus, but they didn't seem threatening. And you could probably pay a lot more for a hotel room in some parts of SF with the same experience.

Summarizing, if you want to economize, consider staying there. If the downsides are an issue, stay closer to campus but expect to pay $70-150 more.

For the economical price, I am satisfied. The man staffing the front desk was very nice and helpful. The place was clean. I wish there were hooks on the bathroom door to hang towels. But otherwise fine for the reasonable price
with good moderately priced restos nearby offering Thai and Tibetan cuisine.

Pictures on website made the room look much more taken care & updated than it actually is. Our room was worn out, torn carpet and beaten walls, doors and ceiling.

Sheets and towels very old, broken plaster walls, etc. This is more likely a second rate motel than a proper hotel. And the price was way too high.

I've stayed here for years, but this time it was exceedingly run down. Portions of the wall were damaged. Everything is dates.

Aside from the linens, which were clean daily, everything else was somewhat gross.

punk'd styaing here

Atrocious place. Waited at the door in the cold with heavy bags ringing bell until someone came and asked why I hadn't rung. Room was no more than a place to rest head during an extremely high pressure and stressful trip resolving personal business. Check out was aggressive and no accommodation was allowed nor offered (even for pay). The beds squeak and springy; bugs aroudn the open drains on first floow. Management staff act like deer in the headlights, totally unable to hear or understand whatever good/bad/urgent/funny thing is being said. I felt like an inconvenience the mgmt resented having there the whole time, in between reminders of how ripped off I was has just been suckered

The room was like a motel which I didn't realize, so you open the door and it leads to the parking lot. I was travelling alone so it felt unsafe. The neighbourhood is a bit rough with homeless people around. I didn't feel safe leaving at night. There was a small hole in the floor of the bathroom. One of the walls was very dusty and hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Breakfast was very small and in the tiny room that you check in at.

The property doesn't live up to the pictures, It is a much cheaper option that other downtown hotels and the free parking is a really nice perk. But it's a basic 2* motel with a light renovation. Bathroom was nicely redone with tile shower walls and tile floors. But there were a few hairs easily spotted on the toilet, 2 of 3 toiletries had fallen off the wall, a giant drywall problem on the ceiling, and both the hotel and street were very noisy. Breakfast was pretty modest and provided for takeout in the lobby which is a tiny area - only hot breakfast option was plain oatmeal packets - who provides plain? I guess that's all that was left at the bottom of the box. Cereals, 1 cup of yogurt, milk, pastry, and apples rounded out the small selection. Staff was helpful and friendly, and the bed was comfy with lots of nice pillows.

The bed was broken when we checked in. We immediately showed them. They said the would fix it or move us. The fix was to put a metal garbage can underneath the frame to hold it up. We stayed there three nights and they never permanently fixed it. We already reached out to Expedia but there was no response. Not good customer service by hotel or Expedia.

Great location to the university, stadium, and bars. Travels with a group of friends to the Cal game. Great location and plenty of food and drink options in the area.
