Really nice restaurants around! And the amenities were fun, such as the pool table and board games. While I didn’t use it, the patio looked like a great place to relax and lounge. The location was also nearby the BART, so I didn’t have a problem getting here from SFO. Check-in was already really easy and they will provide you with a unique door code to your room and to access the building’s front doors, so no need to worry about misplacing your room card.

    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.
