So sad to see the closing of Howard Johnsons
This is the best place to stay in Bay Area. It's quiet, clean, close to everything, including family & friends. They are the nicest people. It is VERY sad that it is closing in January.

A good place to stay.
Clean. Friendly staff. 5min walk to train station and easy train ride yo San Fran. 30 minute walk to university. Bus stop right outside hotel - easy bus ride to university. 15 minute walk to downtown Berkeley. I’ve stayed here twice and the area is safe. Would definitely stay again.

4/10 Fair

adequately clean, but very basic
The room was clean and bed was comfortable. Beyond that, not much to recommend it. Bathroom door did not fully close; fridge barely cold enough; smoke detector covered with plastic(!!); furnishings pretty beat up.

2/10 Poor

Think twice before booking
Found dirty shorts in one of the drawers. Had to ask for basic necessities since it was not found in the room. Basic toiletries, I.e. shampoo, soap, etc. Room smelled badly. Parking was incredibly tight. It was not a good experience at all.

It’s a 6-minute easy walk to BART station. Property itself is fine and close to buses as well as BART. Only negative is area feel sketchy - I think its fine during day, but I would NOT go out after dark in this particular neighborhood.

I love that there was on site parking. The location was very good. The room itself was very clean, but it smelled of smoke upon arrival. Plus, I assume bathroom window was open to get rid of the smell, but I was worried about the window locking properly, once smell went away. The manager was extremely helpful and kind. I would definitely stay here again.
