Good stay
I don’t usually stay in hotels like this, but I was pleasantly surprised! Rooms were a bit dated but in good condition. There was no ac, it they had fans in place to make things comfortable. Hotel is run by a family who was very nice.

As it should be.
One night stay for business. My expectations were low given the area and price however the parking, room and service were all good. The bed was comfortable and the room was spotless. I would definitely recommend this place.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff were very friendly and room seemed clean overall (except for mold/dirt around bathroom window frame). This is a very basic, old-fashioned motel in a not-so-nice part of Berkeley. It was fine for a one night stay for a good price. Free parking was a plus.

The staff at this motel are terrific. Check-in was fast and easy. I had emailed ahead to request a ground floor room as my suitcases were heavy, and received a return email confirmation the same day (the property is a two floor walk up). The room is clean and the bathroom fixtures have been updated. There is a small microwave, refrige, coffeemaker and tv in the room. There was a portable tower fan instead of a wall air conditioner, I'm not sure if this is permanent.

It was clean and comfortable. Felt safe and was in great location. Staff was nice. My critique is that there was no air conditioning. You just had a fan. Granted, it is the Bay Area and doesn’t get too hot. Also, if you wanted any shampoo or conditioner or soap you have to ask for it as it’s not in the room.

My husband and I were picking up our son from Summer School, we needed a place to stay for only one night and came across this hotel in Expedia. It’s a nice small hotel. Room was clean, bed comfortable. Bathroom clean. Fast and easy check in and check out. Restaurants and convenience stores nearby. It’s a great option, and we highly recommend it.

Nice place to stay, in the heart of all things Berkeley! Easy walk to cute coffee shops and eateries. Asian, Mexican, and many other types of restaurants are a short walk. The price was great comparatively to bigger name hotels and motels.
