    I got a great discount I wasn't expecting. Yay! The staff is wonderful. My priority is cleanliness, which is a 10. The bed was comfortable. The location is ideal for me and there is free parking.

    The property was very clean and efficiently run. The staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the breakfast - lots of options. It was the perfect location to stay for homecoming weekend at Cal. Room was large and very well stocked.

    Very clean room, even if the hotel building is not that modern, you can quickly tell that its management cares about guests and maintains everything very well. The location is great, easy parking on property. It's a busy area, but the motel feels safe, with video surveillance system clearly visible. The price is very competitive. We'll definitely stay there again.

    The staff was wonderful and the room was kept very clean. They were so responsive to all of our needs. The location was excellent, so close to many great restaurants, laundromats, convenience stores and it seemed like a real bargain for being in the heart of Berkeley. My husband and I would definitely stay again.
