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.

Run down and crime risk
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.

Don’t stay here
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.

Won’t be staying again…
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.

Comfortable and convenient
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.
