There was no place to hang clothing in the room. We had to use the ironing board as a table. The parking lot was too crowded, and the spaces that were available were very tight.

Quick and easy check in. The person working the counter was kind. Definitely not a place I would choose for myself but my employer booked this for me. There’s mold growing on the ceiling of the bathroom and between the tiles (on the grout) in the shower. The toilet paper roll is broken and tp fell right off when I had to use it. I personally don’t feel particularly safe in motels like this but I guess if you’re in a bind it works.

Everything was pretty dirty. Especially the shower. Bedding had burn holes. Very loud metal stairs near our room kept us up. Could hear the neighbors even though they were not being loud

one night stay surprise visiting daughter Berkeley
We visited our daughter a student at Cal on Dec 19th as a birthday surprise. Front desk Sam is very nice, parking is super safe and plenty, super close to our daughter's apartment; perfect for sleeping; bed is very comfortable, though short; room is very simple, could have a few more items; room on 2nd floor is reasonably quiet. Highly recommend this motel.
bathroom very clean, but need a tray for soap, more hangers for towels
I thought this red painting not conducive for sleeping
beautiful mirror and mini ceiling chandelier, but I wish the room has a vanity mirror for make up cauz I cannot see from the sink mirror that is far away
big iron board must be helpful for all those special occasions

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I booked here for my son’s graduation because I knew eating out was going to cost an arm and a leg. We had stayed here a few years ago the first time we came up to tour the campus so I knew the rooms were no frills but clean and the office staff were very nice and accommodating. Unfortunately they have a very small parking lot and our car was hit while another guest was trying to turn around. Luckily because it’s small and we were in our hotel we heard the crunch and we were able to get their DL, insurance and phone number. Next time I’ll pay the extra $25 for parking at the Hyatt Place in Emeryville and just stay there. If you wait to book your room the day of it’s about $50 cheaper than booking ahead of time.
