Hotel was clean, it was near our family, so it was ok.

The housekeeper was very friendly. The condition of our hotel room was quite run-down, and the front desk clerks were not friendly and seemed put out when I needed to visit the office. We were given a room downstairs, right next door to the housekeeping room. When we mentioned that the door next to us opened and slammed closed constantly and we heard running water and other noises throughout the day every day, rather than offering another room or some discount, the clerk simply said "sorry".

I like this place to stay when I visit my daughter at UC Berkeley because of the short walking distance to the UCB, very comfortable bed(s), new shower room, renovated rooms. However, the breakfast is not prepared enough. When I went to the office to pick up some food, only coffee and a few danish bread were left. It was 8:30am.

The most disturbing attribute was the fact that the flimsy floor tiles were curling up and became a trip and cutting hazard to bare feet. The second most disturbing was the sound transmission between the first and second floor that allowed foot fall, music and dancing noise to be heard from the adjoining space.

The room was okay, but very cramped. The beds were lumpy & uncomfortable and the air conditioner did not work so it was very hot. (Pretty sure management knew this but did not inform us at check in). Location was good and there was parking so that was helpful.

You get what you pay for here. Run down motel in a dirty part of Berkeley. Lots of homeless camped here. Loud noises until 1am and my car got broken into and stuff stolen. Would not stay here again.

The rooms are not the same as advertised they are very small. The conditions of the room are terrible. There were stains on the comforter and dirt and stains all over the walls and doors. The free breakfast is just stale bread and watered down juice.

I booked this hotel due to its proximity to a concert venue. I paid $250 for this room, which is very overpriced for the quality of the room.
Upon checking in, half of the parking lot was roped off. Only 1 side of the parking lot was available for guest parking. When I entered the lobby to check-in, front desk told me they could not find my reservation. I attempted to find my reservation under my hotels.com account, but WiFi in the lobby wasn’t working. I confirmed the address of the hotel, I provided my full name and ID. Front desk said I might have the wrong hotel, at that point I was anxious and frustrated thinking that there was an error with my reservation. Finally the guy behind the desk said “I’m just joking with you”….not sure what gave him an indication that that ‘joke’ was funny or appropriate for the situation.
When I finally got to my room, it was TINY with a very strong smell of cleaning product. Before take a shower, I inspected the inside and found hair and wet tiles (hopefully water or cleaning solution) by the drain. I shouldn’t have to clean any part of a hotel room upon first entering it.
The shower was poorly designed; the shower head faced the shower curtain so when I turned the water on, all the water seeped onto the bathroom floor.
Bed was uncomfortable, the mini fridge made a weird clicking sound throughout the night.
There was also a party going on in the parking lot. Music, solo cups, 20 or so people acting like it was a bar.

We received terrible customer service from a man working the desk on September 18th. We booked 8 rooms and made a mistake with one of the guest's names. A Hotels.com representative and I tried working with this individual to resolve the problem. The person had a horrendous attitude, making the whole ordeal more stressful than it needed to be. The issue was eventually resolved not due to his assistance but in spite of it.

Clean and comfortable and perfectly fine as a lower budget option in otherwise expensive Berkeley. The room was on the small side and there was a fair bit of noise from the parking lot, but the bed was comfortable, and the location is convenient.

The receptionist was exceptionally negligent and borderline rude. Rooms are clean (ish) as long as you don't look under the bed.

Was just dirty. It was beautiful in the pictures and was nothing like what the pictures looks like in my opinion. Also they took $150 deposit and I have yet to see the back and it’s been over a week

Pretty average stay. Staff was nice and accomodating. I ended up booking two nights seperately due to a change of plans and they quickly and easily combined them so i could stay the same room both nights.
The room itself was clean. Though everything was pretty well worn; lots of scuff marks on walls, floors and doors, chipped furniture, poorly patched damage to sheetrock from doorhandles, etc.

We stayed on the second floor in a king size bed room. Bathrooms had been updated and were very nice! The mattress needs to be replaced, parking was limited, but overall we were quite pleased with the value of this room.

Definitely expected a little more based on the price. Room was clean and mostly good, but old fridge made weird sounds. Motel type grounds, not particularly inspiring. “Functional” is a good way to describe.

Recently remodeled motel in excellent condition with new air conditioners and great nearby access to several restaurants and a Trader Joe’s. What I didn’t like was a motion activated fan that turned on anytime you walked by the bathroom. Also only decaf coffee was available both mornings.

When we check in, the staff is very friendly and helpful, he is a nice dude who help us with enthusiasm. The next day when we check out, the other staff who is very rude and keep knocking my door to remind us about check out time, he was knocking our door for more than 5 times, his attitude and service is absolutely nightmare, I really hope they should improve this part, checking out at 11 am and unstoppable reminding is absolutely ridiculous.
