The Spotlight on Berkshire Motor Hotel

Budget-Friendly Base for Concert Nights in San Diego

Modern yet no-frills, the Berkshire Motor Hotel is conveniently located along El Cajon Boulevard in San Diego’s North Park area — a trendy, music-loving neighborhood just minutes from local venues and nightlife. With clean, contemporary rooms, free WiFi, and a location that's hard to beat, it’s a smart pick for concert-goers looking for comfort and value.

Why Concert-goers love it

Stay less than 5 minutes' drive from one of San Diego’s top indie venues, The Observatory North Park — perfect for catching a show without a long ride home. The inn offers 24-hour front desk service, so late-night arrivals aren’t a problem. Rooms are equipped with flat-screen TVs and air conditioning, and the vibe is relatively quiet, so you can rest up after a late show. It’s also easy to get to nearby neighborhoods like Hillcrest and Adams Avenue for even more post-show fun.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a central and affordable crash pad
- Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist and needing a safe, no-fuss stay
- Couples making a weekend of it in North Park
- Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
- Budget-conscious music fans who want to save for merch and drinks

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn't have on-site dining, you're within walking distance of local eateries, cafes, and late-night taco joints that North Park is known for. Many spots cater to the post-concert crowd and stay open late. There’s also a mini-fridge in every room for late-night snacks, and morning coffee is just steps away at nearby cafes.

Nightlife Options

North Park is one of San Diego’s best neighborhoods for nightlife. From craft beer bars and cocktail lounges to intimate venues with live music, you’ll find plenty within a short Uber or even a walk. Plus, Hillcrest and Adams Avenue are both under 10 minutes away for even more options.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the clean rooms, friendly staff, and unbeatable location. Many note that it's ideal for quick trips or concert nights, with a solid balance of comfort and convenience. The free parking and proximity to public transit also get high marks.

Areas for Improvement

It’s a no-frills motel, so don’t expect luxury extras like a pool or gym. Some guests have mentioned street noise — not uncommon for the area — but many still found the rooms surprisingly quiet for sleeping.

The Bottom Line

For music lovers wanting a clean, affordable place close to the action, Berkshire Motor Hotel hits the right notes.

Good motel for a shoot...

Liked: The weather in mid-June is nice enough to sleep with the windows open on the second floor.Good sized bathroom. Motel clean everywhere.
Disliked: The location is a residential city area, which can get ‘busy’ with city noises occasionally at night. No breakfast; Dennys is across the street.

Liked: I've stayed here multiple times, and each stay has been great. This time I got a suit which was excellent!!
Disliked: Even though I didn't really need anything for my stay, it would have been nice if there had been basic items such as a small pot and pan with utensils in the kitchen.
