Liked: Staff & service
This is a very good location, and with parking! (near campus), the staff is nice and right there. It's a pretty good second rate motel. My main complaint is super strong smell of cleaners they use but I went over the floor with a towel and opened my window and it dissipated over time. Also, the AC/heat blows on your when you sleep.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. But i must say the hotel is in terrible condition. Bathroom was dirty, the floor was so slippery, there was water damage all over the door frames and the cabinet where the fridge was. The bed sheet was stained, which let me to believe they dont change the bed after each guest, luckily i caught the cleaning service before they left an did change it out for me so i appreciated that. All in all i wouldn't stay there again for the price that i payed.

I always stay in this hotel when I visit Berkeley.

My husband and I visit to Berkeley 2-3 times per year because my kid is attending at UC Berkeley. I searched hotels to find a place that is in a walkable distance, affordable, convenient, clean, has good bed, and includes breakfast. After the first visit at this hotel, I am keep reserving this place.
