Great Stay

We had a great stay at this hotel it was close to the Greek Theater. The bed was comfortable the balcony was a nice touch. They don’t have their own parking and you can’t stay in the parking lot that belongs to the grocery store next door. We still managed to find good parking close and the car was safe. Were definitely going to stay here again!

10/10 Exceptional

I really enjoyed staying here and will do it again. I had trouble getting the TV to work, but wasn't there to watch TV. I loved the cafe downstairs and parking on the street at night was easy enough.

Small cute hotel in downtown Berkeley

Great location in downtown Berkeley near by cute restaurants and coffee shops and breweries. Came for a family wedding. Super comfy bed, balcony, robe, slippers, toiletries and clean and the service at the front desk was fantastic. I would definitely come back. It’s also located next door to a supermarket.

6/10 Good

Ground floor rooms facing parking lot, don't black out. If you're light sensitive sleeper, this would be an inconvenience. Rest everything is good.
Raj, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

In a convenient location, but also busy. No parking on site, but we were able to find nearby street parking fairly easily (weekend). A bit run-down. Lots of dining options nearby. Worked great for a quick weekend getaway.

Neglected maintenance

This is a real review which you can tell from all the detail I'm about to give. This hotel (according to the binder in the room explaining its history) was renovated in 2017. While the place has friendly staff and a nice location, it is pretty clear that upkeep since 2017 has been neglected. Issues in my room during my stay: shower drains poorly, light bulb out in bathroom, not very clean overall and rug visibly dirty, alarm clock in room but curiously has no batteries that would make it functional, and paper thin walls so that a conversation in the room next door was completely intelligible by me. Maybe other people who stayed here got updated rooms but this hotel needs some TLC. Bummer because the location is perfect for my needs and it would have been great to stay here again if things were better.

Great location and service in rooms, fully staffed 24/7 lobby/entrance but the function is a little awkward and the door is very heavy

Great stay at this hotel, it had everything I needed and appreciated the coffee in the morning. The bed was a bit firm, but it was okay. Would stay here again.
