The place was filthy. My room smelled like mildew, the carpets were stained and the sheets had cigarette burns. There were a few people loitering in the parking lot (I don't know if they were employees but why would they need to hang out in the parking lot late in the evening). It smelled like smoke the moment I stepped outside. I ended up checking out the same night I checked in. In speaking to the man at the front desk there was no resolution to the problem, a refund or an offer to a different room. I ended up driving two hours back home and cut my trip short, losing over $100. Please do yourself a favor and don't stay at this place. It is dirty and there are much better options at the same price point.

The hotel was situated in a fairly pleasant and quiet part of Berkeley and about a 15 minute walk to the campus edge. The hotel itself was a bit run down. Water somehow leaked from my sink into the quarters below. I hope they fix it soon. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was nothing to write home about. The lodging cost was reasonable.

Not worth the price, even for a quick stay
For the price of the room, we expected more from this stay. The room was in pretty bad disrepair and the cleanliness was not great. The shower head had been removed, there were shelves that were removed, but the drywall was never repaired, the bathroom did not lock, the windows and blinds were super dirty, and the door handle to get into the room was not clean.

Pretty uncomfortable stay. Took a while to get in, staff was playing loud music next to our room but they did turn it off once we requested them to. The room had basic amenities but the appearance was very shabby. There were extremely loud noises from upstairs at one point that was concerning enough for us to wonder if we needed to call 911.
