“This inn's proximity to the BART station and UC Berkeley is certainly a plus, and rooms include microwaves and refrigerators. While some rooms feature comfortable beds and bathtubs, reports indicate inconsistent maintenance and service experiences should be anticipated. For budget travelers prioritizing location, this may suffice with tempered expectations.”
