Good peaceful stay. It’s walking distance to food, Trader Joe’s (big plus), shops, etc. It served its purpose as a no frills, clean, safe & quiet stay at a value. Would definitely come back.

The plug outlets by the bed wasn’t working. It also had outdated USB ports (not USB C). Parking lot is tight, obviously motel was built years ago when it wasn’t heavily populated as now more working professionals especially medical travel up there frequently. Keep that in mind on the weekends & weeknights if you don’t want to lose your parking, plan on walking. The rooms are set to accommodate travelers with everything you’d need, however it’s very compact space so more people that occupy it, the more it’ll feel cramped, but it’s doable. Just keep the above in mind, overall still a good place to stay for a short period and rest.

The motel-designed inn is an easy walk from downtown Berkeley Bart where there are plenty of places to eat or have coffee and a number of entertainment venues. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. ´There was a coffee machine in the room, but no bottled water for drinking. A dispensing machine for soft drinks in the parking lot existed, looked unreliable, but I didn't try it.

Breakfast was advertised as included but a sign said that renovation work meant no breakfast would be provided. No reduction in price for this despite being advertised.

I am a frequent stayer here, so staff knows me well. I always get treated great. I am accommodated when needed. Front desk has become like extended family, and I appreciate them very much!!!! The young gentleman and lady with pretty blue eyes are very nice to me.

Your cleaning lady Maria wasn't very nice when she came to my door this morning wanting to clean. I left the day prior for her to clean, she received my request from staff, and she didn't clean. I was gone all morning to go to work, and returned at 2 pm. Today at about 9 am, just waking up, she knocked continuously on my door. I answered. Her attitude was terrible. She insisted she was going to clean right then, not caring if it was an inconvenience to me. About five minutes later I left. She still didn't clean after an hour sitting outside in the cold. I told staff. Because staff went to her, She stopped cleaning other rooms to clean mine. Staff says she's had many complaints. I'm not sure what Maria is going through.

There is a Nation's Burger place to get breakfast, and coffee, across the street. Trader Joe's grocery store up the street. Near my job. The house keeping staff is always pleasant with me, and doesn't hesitate to help with towels, and toiletries. One house keeper took the time to help with my door card.

It would be nice if you offered muffin and juice to have something to go in the morning. But, it isn't a deal breaker for me. Probably shouldn't advertise breakfast. Not sure if it's the motel, or booking. com, that needs to update. Because I'm a regular guest, the fact that so much care is given by staff for a nice stay, I don't mind getting food near by.

I love that everything was so near, food, stores and the university, all walking distance. The place was clean and area secured. Everyone was so friendly and always making sure we had what we needed. I will definitely stay there again when I go!

Everything was good! 👍

The staff at the desk was very pleasant and helpful. Helped me open my room door, and told me about the breakfast and if I need anything call him.

The only thing I didn't like was not having a chair to sit. It's hard for me to stand when I get dressed. The bed is sort of high due to my height, don't get me wrong, the bed is fine, it's easier for me to sit in a chair and dress due to my disabilities. But overall, it was great!

The new ownership. I felt like I mattered. It was very clean and well operated .

They have renovation going on so you don’t expect everything to be perfect, but I’m pretty sure as soon as they’re done this will be a very great place to get away.

Very convenient location. The property must have been recently renovated and was very clean.

The central location had a drawback: traffic noise from the adjacent street in the morning.
