When I visit family I need a place near North Park, and for years had been staying at the motels nearby on the Hotel Circle. The Berkshire Motel is everything the Hotel Circle motels are not. Clean, updated, quiet, walkable, and I felt very safe in that location.

Walls are very thin and I heard different people snoring. The say parking is available but they don’t have enough and people were paring in stalls that were not staying at the hotel. I will not stay there again.

This was my last of 4 hotels on a tour around San Diego and the desert and arguably the best one! It was exactly as advertised. The room was tidy and clean and appeared newly renovated with hard surface flooring, lovely bathroom tiling and tasteful decor. The bed, while not high class hotel standard, was comfortable. I had the room closest to the street and while I heard traffic during the day it did not interrupt my sleep. They only have 6 parking spots but I had no trouble getting one and there is nearby street parking. It's handy to lots of restaurants and the price was very reasonable. It was the only place I stayed that I could plug in a couple of devices without moving furniture and unplugging lamps! The Wifi worked great. My only small gripe was that the reservation says you need to contact them the day before to arrange checkin as they are not always staffed and when I did that I didn't get a reply back. There was someone there when I arrived so it was no problem.
