Very Good

Immaculate private bathroom (no share), nice and firm bed, powerful heater, coffee maker, and blackout curtains. I was able to sleep deeply and rest. But make sure to place floor towel on the floor before taking a shower; it could be very slippery.
It’s pretty convenient to got to UC Berkeley. The bus stop is right in front of the motel and you don’t have to transfer. Thank you!
My go to place in Berkeley. Always clean, great staff and safe parking off the street. I was on a motorcycle trip, felt my bike was safe there. Will be back!
I don’t usually stay in hotels like this, but I was pleasantly surprised! Rooms were a bit dated but in good condition. There was no ac, it they had fans in place to make things comfortable. Hotel is run by a family who was very nice.
Everything was great from the check-in to the check out. front desk receptionist was very helpful and polite and friendly and helpful, staff was helpful and thorough, will stay rgere again and recit to everyone.
One night stay for business. My expectations were low given the area and price however the parking, room and service were all good. The bed was comfortable and the room was spotless. I would definitely recommend this place.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff were very friendly and room seemed clean overall (except for mold/dirt around bathroom window frame). This is a very basic, old-fashioned motel in a not-so-nice part of Berkeley. It was fine for a one night stay for a good price. Free parking was a plus.
The staff at this motel are terrific. Check-in was fast and easy. I had emailed ahead to request a ground floor room as my suitcases were heavy, and received a return email confirmation the same day (the property is a two floor walk up). The room is clean and the bathroom fixtures have been updated. There is a small microwave, refrige, coffeemaker and tv in the room. There was a portable tower fan instead of a wall air conditioner, I'm not sure if this is permanent.
