Loud Hotel
Had trouble getting any sleep because of a loud TV in the next room. Had to call the office numerous times and actually go to the front desk in person before they finally got the TV turned down, but by that time it was too late and already morning.

Would not recommend.
Their concept of "Free Parking" is a misnomer. There are not enough spaces for all guests. There IS free parking, if you get there early enough. Otherwise, you need to park on the street, which is metered until 6pm, so NOT free. My room key worked once then had to be replaced. I was woken up, after midnight, by water leaking into my bathroom, from the room above. This was, apparently, because the occupant of the room above "didn't use the shower properly". It took 5 minutes to wake the night manager, so he could call up to the room above mine and give me extra towels, for the flooding. I considered asking for another room, but there were no other vacancies, so why bother. The cabinet that hid the fridge wouldn't close and it was so close to the bed, that I nearly tripped over it.

The room was clean and tidy, but it looked like it was just "thrown together". Some of the outlets/usb plugs were rusted and/or not working. The sink faucet worked, but wasn't secured in place and the bathtub faucet was sticking and hard to operate. The room is in desperate need of maintenance.

The place was filthy. My room smelled like mildew, the carpets were stained and the sheets had cigarette burns. There were a few people loitering in the parking lot (I don't know if they were employees but why would they need to hang out in the parking lot late in the evening). It smelled like smoke the moment I stepped outside. I ended up checking out the same night I checked in. In speaking to the man at the front desk there was no resolution to the problem, a refund or an offer to a different room. I ended up driving two hours back home and cut my trip short, losing over $100. Please do yourself a favor and don't stay at this place. It is dirty and there are much better options at the same price point.

The hotel was situated in a fairly pleasant and quiet part of Berkeley and about a 15 minute walk to the campus edge. The hotel itself was a bit run down. Water somehow leaked from my sink into the quarters below. I hope they fix it soon. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was nothing to write home about. The lodging cost was reasonable.
