We were looking for a budget option in the Berkeley area and this fit the bill. You get what you pay for so it was fine for what it was. There were a few strange people coming in later at night, but they never bothered us, and aside from that, it was fairly normal for a motel experience. The staff was not present much which was the biggest challenge when our keys stopped working part way through. We also had to ask for basic items to be stocked in our room at one point. So, not great, but honestly, fine for a budget option.
