5.0 of 5 stars. I always stay at the Golden Bear Inn when I'm in the bay area. No, it's not fancy; yes, the walls are thin, and by all appearances it is your run of the mill come and go and you please type of motel....

4.0 of 5 stars. For a cheap hotel/motel option in Berkeley pretty close to campus, this is probably your best bet. Of course it isn't right next to campus, but it is right by a bus stop for a bus that will take you...

This hotel is not near any shopping areas. It's not quaint. It's a dump. San Pablo Ave is the worst part of town, known for auto body stores.
