I stayed here on my road trip. I thought the room was neat and clean. The free Wi-Fi was a bonus, worked perfectly!!! Staff were friendly too. I paid $95 and loved the room. I usually look at the room before i purchase and I did this with the other hotels on University Ave and this was the cleanest and... More

This is your basic independently owned motor court type property. The furniture is very basic, but in decent condition, and the lighting is good. The plumbing works, the shower stall is large and newish, the towels are plush. The windows open. The purple and green motif is more stylish than average. The wireless works well, the fellow behind the counter... More

For those of you who read my reviews, SLAM is the acronym for Stop Loud Annoying Noises and usually applies to hotels where the bedroom doors SLAM closed rather than with a gentle ‘click’. This is a particular bête noir with me because I often travel across large time zones changes, so there is nothing worse than being shaken from... More

Stayed there for 3 nights. Clean room. Liked the washroom and shower. Comfortable bed. Quiet area. Nice neighbourhood. Nobody below or above, depending if you have a room at ground level or top level. Found owner very accomodating due to a booking mistake. I would go back there.

Any opportunity they get to swindle you, they will. Free internet, my behind, I am taking this to consumer affairs of California. The rooms where cheap as they are disgusting. The lady has a major attitude problem, and the price I originally had these rooms booked for was not honored. I had no choice but to stay the night, but... More

I went there early about 9:00 AM, and the older women asked, when will I check out. I told her the next day, so she was going to charge me for an extra day. "What???" is what I said. "I do not believe it." I told her I would leave at 10:00 PM, she charged me $25 dollars extra. When... More

For me the Capri was the perfect (budget) solution for my needs: the location is excellent, with the North Berkeley BART station a 5 min walk away, and downtown Berkeley a 10-15 min walk. There also are some nice restaurants very close to the motel. My room was newly remodeled and very clean. The wireless internet was free (as usual),... More

I arrived in Berkeley for a friend's memorial service. That night I went to Capri to get a quote of $85 for the hotel room. We went down the street to compare pricing, ten minutes later (or less) came back and the woman at the front desk told me the room was gone...don't believe it but can't do anything about... More

We chose this motel for its proximity to UC Berkeley (it's roughly 20 mins by foot, and there is a bus line on the main road). I figured that for $85/night it had to be reasonably decent. Boy, was I wrong... Rooms are dingy, there were dark stains on the carpets, a poorly patched hole over the bed, upholstery on... More
