It was very comfortable and up to a fine standard. The security windows were a bit off-putting, and worried me about the neighborhood, but I walked day and night woithout incident.

Coming back!
Surprisingly comfortable mom & pop, no frills but totally comfortable overnight spot. 5m walk to the variety of shops and restaurants of Fourth Street. Clean, affordable, great location, off street parking and a friendly cat tha greets you! Would absolutely stay again.

Polite and professional staff. Clean rooms. Quiet heat. Good location for me. Good value for the price. Always satisfied staying here. The only downside are the trains that pass by after dark but before midnight. I find them kind of soothing, not bothersome. Cheers.

A budget find with drawbacks
Given the neighborhood and price, I expected less. For example, the bed was more comfortable than expected and the area mostly quiet at night. But the lighting was either dim or glaring, making reading difficult. Heat is provided by an electric space heater, which was not quite adequate on cold nights. And most of all whatever cleaning products are used have an overwhelming scent and irritated my eyes and throat. If management used more eco-friendly products, the place could be a little gem. Very clean, nicely decorated, and within walking distance of Berkeley's Fourth Street shops.

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!
