I was a bit worried because the area this is in is not the nicest (I’m from here). However I was pleasantly surprised. There was ample parking and the hotel seemed safe. The room was pretty nice, nothing spectacular, but comfortable. The guy in the office was helpful. I would definitely stay again.

Great simple place to test your head

Chose this location to visit our daughter attending UC Berkeley. It’s a no frills place, clean, simple, comfortable. Front desk staff was very nice and accommodating.
