University Inn & Suites Berkeley

The hotel does have a good location and I have stayed there several times before. It seems the management lost interests in maintaining the hotel to an acceptable standard. The bathmat in my room was dirty, still had black smuggles on it. When I went to the front desk to exchange it, the staff merely shrugged and gave me another regular towel. There is no hairdryer nor an ice bucket in the room. There is no liquid soap other than a few very thin bar of soaps. I had to ask for lotion. I will never stay there again. This most recent experience saddened me. I don't expect much when staying at a budget hotel. But the things I pointed above are the minimum. I felt like I didn't get the $200 I paid for.

Clean room and close to the university

Exterior of building needs a lot of work but inside was clean. Staff was helpful. Rooms were better than places at a similar price in nearby cities.

It's nice and clean and updated but the walls are thin and the breakfast is very continental. Could also use some new pillows. However, I will stay there again for the price and convenience.

Great place would stay there again
