Perfect for a quick overnight in Berkeley, where rooms can be expensive. This property is affordable and the room was clean and well appointed. Comfortable bed, smooth AC, quiet night sleep. Within walking distance of both Thai and Kabob restaurants. I did not try the wifi, and I skipped the breakfast the next morning, but it looked pretty standard fare.

Pros - -Hot free breakfast with better than average selection of entrees (omelets, biscuits and gravy, pancakes) was very much appreciated. -Coffee and fridge in the room -Free Wi-Fi in... More

I choose this hotel over many other more hip places because it has local free parking, a free hot breakfast and the rooms are ample, quiet and clean with microwave, sink and refrigerator. The rates are reasonable. The hotel is close to Trader Joe's location on University. This makes for a great combination for in-room food or snacks.

Okay - this hotel is not in the center of town - it's about a mile from Shattuck - closer to San Pablo, but it is so worth it! It was very quiet and the rooms were exceptionally clean (and I am very picky). The rooms also have refrigerators and microwave ovens. The beds were super comfy. The free parking... More

We were extremely pleased with our New Year's Eve stay at this hotel on University Ave. - a place you would think would be very noisy and not as nice. The hotel is very nice and they have a great breakfast in the morning. The rooms were spacious enough for a smaller hotel. The parking was free and plentiful. The... More

Stayed here for a couple of nights while visiting family in Berkeley. They kindly gave me a quiet room as a I prefer, what they did not take into consideration was the construction site outside the window which started at 7am drilling concrete. The hotel is very clean and the typical American style, with slightly odd 80ies design. The room... More
