Neglected maintenance
This is a real review which you can tell from all the detail I'm about to give. This hotel (according to the binder in the room explaining its history) was renovated in 2017. While the place has friendly staff and a nice location, it is pretty clear that upkeep since 2017 has been neglected. Issues in my room during my stay: shower drains poorly, light bulb out in bathroom, not very clean overall and rug visibly dirty, alarm clock in room but curiously has no batteries that would make it functional, and paper thin walls so that a conversation in the room next door was completely intelligible by me. Maybe other people who stayed here got updated rooms but this hotel needs some TLC. Bummer because the location is perfect for my needs and it would have been great to stay here again if things were better.

Great Stay
We had a great stay at this hotel it was close to the Greek Theater. The bed was comfortable the balcony was a nice touch. They don’t have their own parking and you can’t stay in the parking lot that belongs to the grocery store next door. We still managed to find good parking close and the car was safe. Were definitely going to stay here again!

It is conveniently located near UC Berkeley where our son lives. We love this hotel and try to book here every time we come up to visit him 😀😀😀

Would totally stay here again. They do not have a parking lot but we only had to park 1 block away. The coffee shop in the morning is pretty delicious with lots of regulars enjoying their drinks here. Staff was very nice & friendly. Room was quiet & clean. Bed was comfortable. Fun neighborhood. Zero complaints.

Have barista made coffee is an excellent perk. We also enjoyed the balcony big enough to sit and relax.

Small cute hotel in downtown Berkeley
Great location in downtown Berkeley near by cute restaurants and coffee shops and breweries. Came for a family wedding. Super comfy bed, balcony, robe, slippers, toiletries and clean and the service at the front desk was fantastic. I would definitely come back. It’s also located next door to a supermarket.
