The room was very clean, not large but really nicely appointed. The area was good, walked to the Greek Theatre and to restaurants. Overall for the price it was a very good hotel and convenient.

An Inexpensive Motel

Our stay was pleasant, as were the staff. Although recently renovated, the bathroom had only been painted so steel fittings were old and rusty, and the grout/sealant needed bleaching as it had black mould on it. Most of the charging points and some sockets were not working, or had the tiniest charge going into them - not enough to actually charge a phone. A couple of queries prior to our stay went unanswered. There is not enough parking for one car per room. No breakfast is available though there’s a breakfast restaurant across the street. The bed was comfy and the linens clean. Price was the main driver for us and it is inexpensive for Berkeley.

$150 doesn’t get you much

Paid $150 to stay one night on a hot day in room 207. Left the AC running, but it was weak and the small room was still warm when I returned after dinner. As the night cool down, the AC kicked in stronger. There were 2 fist-sized stains on the blanket so that didn’t feel too good. All the USB ports in the room were non-functioning but the attendant lent me his laptop charger for the night. Water pressure was decent, but there was a little bit of reddish mildew around the tiles. Free parking was a plus and there wasn’t any loud activity even though it was a Saturday night. It wasn’t a BAD experience, but I think I’ll pay a little more for a better hotel in the future.

The exterior of the motel is cute and inviting. Our room was small but clean and just fine for one night. The only disappointment was that the AC in our room didnt work. The location is super convenient and I appreciated the free parking.

Water to building was shut off from 9pm to 6am based on notice left on door. I left at 7am and water was still off so unable to shower. Staff did not offer any type of refund. I requested a partial refund with a request for a phone call later in day to confirm. Staff did not call me. I called the next day and they ultimately gave me 50% off the second night but I should not have had to request the refund.

Fits the bill for a kid drop off at Cal

My stay was sbsolutely fine. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The AC was great! The room had a touch of musty smell, which cleared up after I ran the air for a bit. The over all feel of the room is a bit worn out, though CLEAN. So if you don't care about crisp renovated rooms, this Inn is fine. The staff was kind. The location, great! And I only needed the room to sleep.
