    Simple hotel for an overnight stay.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great place for the price. Clean, renovated, easy, parking included, convenient. Nothing extra, but everything was there. And the shower was very good, just right for tall people :)

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Many good food and coffee spots near by, check in was easy, and a very chill stay

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Rooms where clean.No frills.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Too loud, climate control was buggy… no soap in the bathroom

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I checked in, went to my room, & immediately checked out. The staff was friendly & there is parking. Those are the highlights. The room was not comfortable & I felt very uncomfortable & unsafe. The train was very loud. There is no way I could have slept there.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Very dated. The carpet was sticky, the bed had painful springs. They showed a lot of neglect. It took 5 minutes to get someone to the desk at check in, and he seemed like I was inconveniencing him.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I had a very nice stay. The room was clean. I was happily surprised that the room had been renovated and looked better than the photos!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We were there fishing so just needed a place to sleep.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Considering the location near the heart of UC Berkeley, the rate was pretty decent, but, the hotel was a bit run-down. Rooms were decent, staff was very friendly, parking was easy. Bathroom vanity was so small there was literally no place to set our toiletries but in the other room. Shower was very nice. Bed was stiff. NO A/C!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Always love my stays here.

  • Engine customer May 2026

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Target for the trip. Had safe parking

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Close to everything I'm looking for.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Room was clean, towels and sheets very clean and white. The bathroom was very clean. Refrigerator, and microwave in room. The carpet could use a good cleaning.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Outside is pretty plain but room Was clean and simple. Off street parking, doesn’t feel super safe though. No breakfast or ice machine or lobby for that matter. But it is right on university ave with good coffee and restaurants nearby.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Good. Do not confuse with the DoubleTree at the Berkeley Marina (also good)

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Over all, the room was ok. Not the Ritz but for one night it was ok.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Internet was fast. Did not arrive with a vehicle so I cannot review parking
