I was very upset that the "FREE PARKING" in the list of included items makes no mention of it being first come first serve. The hotel has very limited parking. If you don't get one of the 10 parking spaces you could have to park on the street which has 2-hour parking limits. NO HEAT: My room did not have any heat. It was just below 50 degrees overnight during my stay. and my room was about 58 when I checked in. I like a cold room but not that cold. I could not get the heater to turn on. Then I found that the window closing mechanism (crank) was broken. I could not fully close the window. I finally had to turn on the hair dryer to get a little heat in the room. By the way, the hair dryer switch is broken too. I had to use the ground fault switch to turn it on and off. There is no refrigerator in the room to cool your drinks. Didn't really need one the night I stayed but it would be nice and they have the space for one under the sink.

The staff was helpful and friendly. Check-in was a breeze. The room is well laid out and clean. I had a very favorable impression when I walked into the room. My stay was in early November so the room was a bit chilly.

The room was a bit run-down. There was a blue stain in the center of the bathtub, and a window screen was taped back together. The wifi had a weak signal, three different networks, and maxed out at 10/2.

The location is fantastic for public transit, food, culture, and the university. There is parking. Clean but a bit spartan.

My room was super ghetto looking; it didn’t match what was shown in the booking.com images at ALL. the bed was super worn looking, the lighting bad, the walls super stained, carpet sad. I didn’t even get under the covers I was so freaked out how dirty it looked inside.

Maybe the location. But that was about it.

It's the city. Area is OK, but older.

Location was great, very centralized.

Open-access elevator; shoddy furniture; no daily bed/towel/housekeeping.

It is probably safe. That is, however, the minimal positive comment I can make.

Room Maintenance could be improved. #306. Windows didn’t open or close easily. Tv remote batteries needed changing. Etc.

I didn't mind the run-down interiors. However, I had three notable issues: 1. The room smelled of mold or mildew through the entire stay. 2. All four of ceiling and wall-mounted lamps were white or "daylight" color -- this can disrupt your sleep rhythm if you get too much of this light in the evening or at night. At least the bathroom and the sink light need to be "warm white" (evening) color. 3. The air conditioner makes an unpleasant raspy sound.

The location is perfect for a stay in Berkeley, right in the middle of central Berkeley. Staff were nice. The place was also really quiet.

There is NO ICE MACHINE. No AC unit, just a fan, it was so hot in the room I had a hard time falling asleep. Staff was nice but took a very long time to come to the window there was a line us us waiting to check in, they apologized and said they were busy watching tv. We were fortunate enough to go during a day not many people were checked in because their parking lot is tiny.

The room was very old and tired, and clearly didn't appear to have been updated in a long time. The curtains were torn and didn't fully close. The WiFi worked OK, but given that the Bay Area is known for fast internet speeds, the measured download (< 5 mbps) and upload (< 3 mbps) were disappointing. The air conditioning was very old, and did not work properly. The lack of mini-fridge was also a pity, but we knew this when booking. Most of all, the room was incredibly expensive for the quality.

The check-in process was easy, and the person on the front desk was helpful. There was an elevator, which was helpful for our cases, and there seemed to be good parking (although we did not bring a car). The location was quite good – close to Downtown BART.

The bed was squeaky and remarkably uncomfortable. The pillows were hard, and I could have used another one. The room was stuffy and the windows didn't open, thus the air conditioner had to be turned on. And it was WAY too noisy

The room was clean, large, and quiet. It was close to everything I needed. Navigation to and from was easy. Coffee was good and the quality bathroom amenities was good.

When I got there (around 7pm) it took quite a while to get a staff member to come let me in to checkin. Office door locked, even though its sign said "This door must remain unlocked while building is occupied." When we returned from dinner that night, our room was REALLY hot as it had been baking in the sun all day and the windows have been modified so they do not open. The air conditioner unit was not working properly. Calling the front desk went to voicemail. I went down to the office and it was locked again (this was about 11pm) and despite ringing the doorbell and knocking loudly, no one came. Another guest came out of another room and said "There's no service at night." What? Is this a hotel or my grandparents' house? We had to force-prop the window partially open and leave the ROOM DOOR open to ventilate it or we wouldn't have been able to sleep. Nice location and decent room; abysmal service. It is cheaper than other places nearby, but you get what you pay for in terms of customer service.

great location. comfortable room and decent bed (a bit firm for my taste but ok).

Although the motel advertised “free parking ,” they had spaces for only 8-10 cars. so other guest would have to park on the street which is metered. Also, no hot water at the sink in the room.

Centrally located with easy access to restaurants.
