4.2Mediocre
Chris, Jan 2015

Pros. Chose because of proximity to UC Berkeley and downtown.

Cons. Carpet was very stained. Furniture was tired and worn. Bathroom strongly smelled of cigarette smoke. I asked for a different room but none were available. It appeared as if remodeling activities were underway and ramping up. I would ask when/if rooms remodeled before staying there.
