I use the hotel a lot and it is always fine. The room I had on my most recent visit needed new carpet. Overly worn with holes at bathroom entry.

5 Stars for a low budget.

Great value, close to the Berkeley boat launch, good service, clean inside and out, well illuminated parking lot. I didn't like bars on bathroom windows because of bars are needed then they should also have them in front window. FYI: I'm used to staying in 4 and 5 star hotels with my family, but was solo and only needed a place to shower sleep a few hours.
