Calling this place a fleabag hotel is an insult to fleas. And bags.
Unless you only other option is the streets, it's not worth it.

The hotel is disgusting. Don't ever stay there. There are plenty of cool hotels and motels around Berkeley. This one is dirty, smelly, moldy, and distasteful. The only good thing is the location.

The furnishings are at least that old with torn upholstered chairs, desks and armoirs at least that old and somewhat the worse for wear, faded carpeting, sagging bed. What is available is clean with no bugs seen. Security seemed ...

You haven't seen anything until you have to "roll" the metal drapes down, and then you have thousands of lights from the street lamp in the parking lot... If you like the smell of coffee - then this is the place for you, as you don't need to drink it...
