Pros

24-hour front desk provides guest assistance

Walking distance to Berkeley Repertory Theatre and downtown performing arts venues

Eco-friendly practices and energy-efficient amenities

Close proximity to BART public transportation

Cons

Oakland International Airport requires transportation arrangements

No on-site restaurant

“I think this inn's location is excellent, placing you within walking distance of UC Berkeley and the Greek Theater, ideal for couples or anyone on vacation looking to explore. While some areas, like the carpets, could use refreshing, the helpful staff more than make up for any minor inconveniences. For the price and unbeatable location, it's still a very solid option in Berkeley.”
