economy value on University Ave

Good location on University Ave - about 15 minutes walk from either Berkeley or North Berkeley BART. The room was comfortable but teeny - there was a desk and a chair, but it was funny because everything was so close together, there would be no way to pull out the chair and sit at the desk! Also the A/C was so loud and clattering - we joked about it sounding like a propeller plane trying to take off. That said, it was totally fine. It was the cheapest option in the Berkeley area so I am glad that it was as nice as it was. It could have wound being way more sketchy and it was not at all. Owners were helpful and nice.

Worse than a motel 6

Room was completely misrepresented in photos. Condition of the room was nearly unusable. Loose lock, loose faucet, hole in the wall of the shower with shower doors ripped off and shower curtain outside it letting water dump onto the floor. No shelving in shower. Water leaking through bathroom light in the ceiling from the room upstairs. Bathroom door didn't shut correctly. Toilet paper roll was dirty. Door had gaps, was loud at night. Beds uncomfortable and loud, linens and towels weren't very clean. All outlets were loose, some didn't work, things couldn't stay plugged in. Hair dryer plug had been disassembled with the circuit board out. Could hear guests in other rooms talking clearly through walls and ceiling.

The only problem I had was that the room I was given was right next to the laundry room where they clean all the linens, so during the day it was noisy.
