Downtown Berkeley Inn

The lady who greeted us upon arrival was so very nice and welcoming!! And what a long time employee!!

Noisy, Wi-Fi, doesn't have a refrigerator or microwave.

Parking could be tight during peak season (student move in/out days), but street parking outside of the property is available (free from 8:00 pm to 9:00 am as of 2026).

really cheap brand of toilet paper

Quiet & peaceful…I’ll definitely return the next time I’m in Berkeley!

no refrigerator, and no ice machine

The location and parking are the best part. The room itself was clean and it was nice the windows opened. Not fancy but very reasonable.

staff is very friendly and accommodating. building is nice, rooms are pleasant, location is great. on site parking is super convenient. incredible value for a great experience. I guess the elevator is a bit slow? idk I think thats just elevators. its a normal speed for an elevator. really its incredible that we even have elevators. you just walk in a box and press a button and youre in a different place. it doesn't matter how long it takes, thats a miracle. we really ask a lot from elevators and I think its unfair to ask that they also be lightning fast. the fact that this place even has an elevator is super cool. very disability friendly.

It was within walking distance of where I needed to go. The woman in charge of the hotel was dismissive of my telling her the air conditioning wasn't working. She also was somewhat curt. When I returned to the hotel to claim my bags, she had me get them out of a dark room (she didn't offer to turn on a light or to get my bags for me). The room was somewhat shabby: the lining of the draperies had several strips of duct tape on it to hide tears, the shades of the two bedside lamps were torn and both were missing one of two bulbs, there was one little bar of soap for the shower, and despite my having removed the "Do Not Disturb" sign from the outside handle of my door in the morning as I left, no one made my bed or cleaned my room or emptied the wastebaskets.

Location next to food /businesses on downtown street, but two blocks from that traffic noise. I requested a small fridge and got that. The staff was very nice to me. The price was affordable for me. The bed was memory foam and my older body doesn't do well with that - so a very personal thing for me

The hotel location is great. The room is large and relatively comfortable.

The staff was very kind and helpful. The internet connectivity was slow throughout.

Service is very good. Room is small. There is no refrigerator.

Tv didn't work, fire alarm chirped randomly, ac very loud

old furniture, stained carpet

No onsite parking, limited parking spaces, but street parking was there and free from 6pm to 9 am so it wasn’t a problem.

The owner was very friendly and helpful. The location was very good for me and the price was affordable. The bathroom was clean and well-stocked. The listing says there is parking on the premises, but neglects to mention that this is very limited, that nearby street parking is practically non-existent, and that nearby paid parking is expensive. Fortunately, I arrived early enough in the day to get one of the available spaces, but I would have liked to have been adequately informed about this before I booked the room. In addition, the room was very worn (worn patches in the carpet, which had not been thoroughly cleaned for years, I would say; torn and broken window curtains patched with duct tape; and a poorly maintained "split" style heating/AC unit -- it was effective, but much noisier than it should have been, and than other units of this type that I have experience with).

Liked it all

I had trouble getting the TV to function fully

Location, price, cleanliness and staff behaviour were good. WiFi was too bad! I had to go to cafe and UC Berkeley campus to send some emails. Phone hotspot was not working as well. Too bad!
