    The property was very clean and efficiently run. The staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the breakfast - lots of options. It was the perfect location to stay for homecoming weekend at Cal. Room was large and very well stocked.

    Great location to stay in Berkeley. Close to BART, so easy to go to SF centre in 30 minutes. Not cheap, but if you are staying in SF for the same price, you'll be in a pretty awful district (Polk or south of Mission). Friendly cleaning personnel and all together recommended.

    Very clean room, even if the hotel building is not that modern, you can quickly tell that its management cares about guests and maintains everything very well. The location is great, easy parking on property. It's a busy area, but the motel feels safe, with video surveillance system clearly visible. The price is very competitive. We'll definitely stay there again.

    The staff was wonderful and the room was kept very clean. They were so responsive to all of our needs. The location was excellent, so close to many great restaurants, laundromats, convenience stores and it seemed like a real bargain for being in the heart of Berkeley. My husband and I would definitely stay again.

    Great location if you need to go to UC Berkeley. It is also in front of the BART station. The hotel room was very clean and it was comfortable. I didn't try the breakfast or the gym.

    The room had a small fridge, which came in handy during the holidays. The location was ideal. Restaurants and cafes were in walking distance from the hotel.

    The room was very clean and comfortable. So was the bed. They made the room up each day when I was out . . . that was nice! The location was good for getting to the freeway each day, but we had to Uber to eat at night as there were no restaurants nearby.
