Good place to crash for an evening after a show! Staff were nice, room was clean and parking lot if safe. No AC so if it were the peak of summer would be way too hot and sheets were pretty scratchy. But in a good spot and a pretty walk able area

The outside area seems rough, but the room definitely makes up for it! Super clean, super nice bathrooms as well.

separate smaller units instead of monolithic building gives it a sense of harmony with surrounding areas.

This is a basic room, well located, and worked for our one night stand. Clean and comfortable enough. Internet service was terrible and we believe it caused the I/O subsystem of my PC to lock up so bad that my wireless mouse no longer worked. Use the hotspot on your phone!

Comfortable and Excellent stay for the price
Was recently renovated very nicely. Had double pane windows so sun and heat was handled well. Traffic noise from University Ave was surprisingly not heard and parking was very adequate complete with surveillance cameras. Excellent stay for the price.

Much better than expected. The room was updated and very clean. Better than other name brand budget hotels i stayed in the past. But no AC. My wife was not happy about that but I was okay with a fan. But during summer, you may wish for AC. Not sure if they have heater. You may want to ask. Surrounding area was not too great. Walked in the morning to get breakfast. Many dangerous looking homeless walking around and also at donut shop and liquor stores asking for change. If you walk further up north toward UCB, then more lively with college students and stores/restaurants. The staffs were great and friendly.

Smells horrible, too loud to sleep and there’s no AC so even if it wasn’t so loud it was too hot to sleep. You have to keep the windows wide open in a high crime area for it to be 80 in the room.

We were pleasantly surprised at this little gem. We needed rooms at the last minute for the Cal game and didn't want to spend alot just to sleep for one night. The staff was friendly and the rooms were very nice and clean. We will definitely use them again for the next game.

clean, tidy, & basic
Clean, more pleasantly decorated than some pricier hotels I've stayed in, friendly staff. Bathroom water pressure was low--we had to hold down the lever to get a complete flush. The room has a tower fan instead of A/C; that would be totally sufficient 80% of the year in the Bay Area, & we just happened to stay during that very hot 20%. Overall excellent stay, & we will recommend the place to others.

Nice-sized room, very clean with a nicely finished bathroom. The fan they provide helps make up for the noisy nearby street and the lack of A/C. Comfy bed. A good budget option if you’re not overly sensitive to noise.
