It was very comfortable and up to a fine standard. The security windows were a bit off-putting, and worried me about the neighborhood, but I walked day and night woithout incident.

Strong unpleasant smell in the room
We planned to stay a total of 3 nights but decided to switch to a different hotel for the last two. Not sure why (maybe from the wood on the ceiling) but there was a strong unpleasant smell in the room. We chose the place because it included free parking but we’ll not return in the future.

Nice place to stay, in the heart of all things Berkeley! Easy walk to cute coffee shops and eateries. Asian, Mexican, and many other types of restaurants are a short walk. The price was great comparatively to bigger name hotels and motels.
