The property is older but the room was recently updated and clean. For a 1 night stay it was perfectly fine. Especially for the cost!

Strong unpleasant smell in the room

We planned to stay a total of 3 nights but decided to switch to a different hotel for the last two. Not sure why (maybe from the wood on the ceiling) but there was a strong unpleasant smell in the room. We chose the place because it included free parking but we’ll not return in the future.

Amenities are very good -- large screen cable tv, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker. Many electrical outlets for your rechargers. Hot water is very hot and there's a lot of it. Front desk provided free soap, shampoo, and coffee for the coffee maker. Hotel is right on the main bus line, the 51B. Also near a major shopping area on 4th Street. Wall heater was malfunctioning and upon being informed, they replaced it with a new one immediately. Excellent experience in every way.

Great simple place to test your head

Chose this location to visit our daughter attending UC Berkeley. It’s a no frills place, clean, simple, comfortable. Front desk staff was very nice and accommodating.

The room was very nice as was free parking. It's a bit noisy as others come in at night and I tried to get more coffee in the morning and no one answered the phone or came to the door.
