The hotel has a convenient location, particularly for those visiting UC Berkeley. However, cleanliness and maintenance are significant issues, with multiple complaints about dirty rooms, stained sheets, and malfunctioning appliances. The staff's friendliness is a highlight, but their responsiveness to issues varies.

    Whoever cleaned the room didn't do a good job. Counters had smears on them. There was only 1 cup with the coffee maker, and no creamer. Shampoo containers were "single use" size but were only 1/3 full (i.e., used!). Worst of all, sheets were uniformly damp/wet; I thought there might have been a leak, dripping on the bed, but realized that the sheets were only partially dry when put on the bed. I've stayed here before this, but won't again.

    The microwave was broken… had to ask for hangers, the walk hung hair dryer didn’t work ( found the replacement hairdryer in a sack the last morning of our visit), tried to flush toilet on arrival and found toilet water turned off ( realized it was because the toilet occasionally kept running)… See above

    The place was clean and okay overall but they miss on the details... I had a water leak under the sink they said they would send someone the next morning, no one came. The shower curtain was inside out, the mini fridge had so much ice build up that I had a small pool of water on the floor, and their free in-room water bottles had one that was open and half empty.

    Unfortunately, our hotel room was very dirty and poorly maintained. For the price we paid it was ridiculous. Ill fitted sheets, broken handles on drawers, broken shelf, broken shower handle, gross stains and splatters on wall that looked like boogers and a cockroach to top it off. Staff didn’t care at all when we brought up our concerns. Very suspicious of all the five star reviews.

    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.

    The young gentlemen at the front desk were exceptional! I did not get the same from the older gent who came the next day. He seemed to have bias level service. Unfortunate, because the younger front desk staff weren't so. See my comment above. I'd specifically asked before booking if they would allow bags to be held after checkout for a few hours & was told yes. Then that next day was told by the older gent that they didn't have space in the back room. Yet later I saw a long checked out person come into the reception & his bags were nicely brought to him from the backroom.

    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.

    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.

    We had a wonderful 5 day stay at this inn. Great location, helpful front office people. We didn't need our room cleaned, just clean towels midway through, but had trouble getting towels from housekeeping. Probably a language barrier. We recommend this sweet little hotel and hope to come back soon.

    my partner and I stayed here for a concert at the Greek Theatre, we loved the area as it had many dining options and places to shop as well within walking distance. my only problem was that a couple nights the parking lot was full when we’d come back in the evening so we weren’t sure if we had to park elsewhere even though we were staying at this inn. thankfully after speaking to the front desk, they let us have a spot in a restricted area on the property still. there’s more rooms than there are parking spots so maybe there should be a rule that those staying on property get one parking spot at all times to avoid this issue with future guests.

In the room we had the AC was doing a weird noise like something is hanging off it when it was cooling. This noise was at such a frequency that it was waking us up all night long. Very unfortunate.

    Hotel is clean, well maintained, and reasonably close to the Berkeley campus (about a 30 minute walk). Trader Joe's is nearby and there's a good breakfast place across the street (Nations). Rooms are small and don't have space for much beyond the two beds (minimal sitting room for example). Few amenities other than parking and the basic room (no ice machine for example). But if all you want is a place to crash at the end of a day, this is a good option.

    Overall it was a pretty good stay - good value, friendly staff. The room was a little small, but perfectly adequate. The only issue was something so ridiculous that I have no idea why it hasn’t been fixed. The mini fridge is essentially impossible to open. The cabinet door opens one way while the fridge door opens the other (see the picture). If the room was large this wouldn’t be a problem. But the room is small, so the cabinet door bumps into the bed meaning the fridge door can only be opened a couple of inches. It’s fixable - swap the hinges on the cabinet door.

    Good location on University Ave - about 15 minutes walk from either Berkeley or North Berkeley BART. The room was comfortable but teeny - there was a desk and a chair, but it was funny because everything was so close together, there would be no way to pull out the chair and sit at the desk! Also the A/C was so loud and clattering - we joked about it sounding like a propeller plane trying to take off. That said, it was totally fine. It was the cheapest option in the Berkeley area so I am glad that it was as nice as it was. It could have wound being way more sketchy and it was not at all. Owners were helpful and nice.

    Room was completely misrepresented in photos. Condition of the room was nearly unusable. Loose lock, loose faucet, hole in the wall of the shower with shower doors ripped off and shower curtain outside it letting water dump onto the floor. No shelving in shower. Water leaking through bathroom light in the ceiling from the room upstairs. Bathroom door didn't shut correctly. Toilet paper roll was dirty. Door had gaps, was loud at night. Beds uncomfortable and loud, linens and towels weren't very clean. All outlets were loose, some didn't work, things couldn't stay plugged in. Hair dryer plug had been disassembled with the circuit board out. Could hear guests in other rooms talking clearly through walls and ceiling.
