Name: University Inn
Address: 920 University Avenue, Berkeley, CA
Telephone: (888) 420-1644

Liked: Very comfortable bed and pillows.
Disliked: No shuttle to and from airport

Not worth it and disappointing.

Liked: Room was okay.
Disliked: Hotel was very run down. Didn’t look like photos at all. Half of things in building were broken or didn’t work. Breakfast was the worst thing I’ve ever seen. Shower was broken (horrible water flow), outlets in room didn’t work well.Was loud from outside. Neighbors seemed to be throwing a party at 2 am.I think the disappointment comes from the expectation that this place is advertised as much nicer than it is and priced to be much nicer than it is.

Very good

Cheap but not good.

Liked: Price was good at around $100.
Disliked: 1.) Noise outside and inside. Person upstairs yelling for an hour, someone playing with a ball upstairs for many hours. Concern reported to front desk who said they were busy. 2.) overpowering cleaning scent in room and the public areas. 3.) phone didn’t work. Nobody cared. There were no towels in room, so had to go get someone to bring towels. 4.) fridge wasn’t working, leaked all over the floor. 5.) when I reported the fridge and phone, the response was, “no problem…” Well I consider it a problem. They don’t care.

Disappointing

Liked: Accessibility, after getting off the BART, it took 10 minutes to get to the hotel using a bus/taxi
Disliked: Cleanliness and quality of sheets, blankets, and towels. The sheets and blankets looked worn out, and the towels were too thin. Chairs in the lobby had sloppy cushions with worn-out and stained covers.

Exceptional

Liked: The staff at the front desk were very helpful and welcoming. They made our stay very enjoyable.

Good

Liked: Price is kinda cheap
Disliked: The staff isn’t very nice

Horrible and dangerous

Liked: On offer: 3 pieces of bread, 2 bagels, old cereal, etc.
Disliked: This was The Shining abd the Bates Motel all rolled up in one. Dark, old facility, zombie-like indifferent staff, completely empty huge facility except for the room next to us filled with 3-5 boisterous, drunk, drugged men shouting and banging furniture from 11pm until noon. Terrifying with little or no help from hotel staff. DO NOT STAY HERE!!
