Super 8 by Wyndham Berkeley

One of the least expensive options relatively close to the UC campus (about a 30 minute walk, or shorter bus ride). Customer service was somewhat lacking, but it didn't ruin my day because not everyone can be as friendly and personable as I am. The bed was comfortable and a fridge and microwave were provided. The most frustrating part of my stay was guests nearby waking me up at all hours because of the poor insulation. There is no front desk to call to complain because they informed me at check in that it was not in fact 24 hours. Even so, it was surprising how loud it seemed even when neighbors just entered or exited their rooms in the middle of the night or early morning. No one mentioned the continental breakfast so I didn't realize it was available. Maybe it isn't anymore? I can't be sure if it was poor customer service or misleading website information since both already apply here.

Quick. Clean. Easy. No food, stores or anything open past 11pm.

Adequate for trip purpose . Checking in late above 9pm seems not welcomed.

Had everything I needed.

Needed a last minute, cheap room for the night near UC Berkeley and this fit the bill. Booked this through Hotels.com over other rooms because it said it had a 24 hour front desk and I knew I'd have to check-in around midnight. Got there and this was Not the case. According to the tired, curt person who checked me in, I was lucky he even answered the door because they closed at 11pm... So beware. Otherwise the room was decent and had all the basic amenities you'd expect for a cheaper hotel. The area seemed fairly quiet but this was a weeknight. Parking seemed a little tight but it looked like street parking was available for overflow. I'd stay there again.
