    lackluster toilet seat

    The Downtown Berkeley Inn has a prime spot for grub. just a hop away from La Note for those to-die-for homemade rolls! Plus, it’s a clean, comfy room with super friendly staff. Can't beat that!

    This place is no frills, but who’s asking for glitz in Berkeley?

    Good Spot for Attending Events

    The staff were incredibly helpful, I mean, when we arrived, they practically rolled out the red carpet. Our room was clean and comfy, really made for a pleasant stay just around the corner from the theater we went to.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but it was tolerable for what we got.

    The owner was incredibly friendly, making me feel welcome, and the clean room had a great shower with excellent water pressure. Limited parking was a bit challenging but manageable.

    The parking situation was quite good, but the

    bathroom needed more maintenance. Overall, the property was well-kept, and my room was large and clean, which I appreciated. However, the noise level was a bit high at times.

    I appreciated the clean and comfortable decor, which felt welcoming. The staff were incredibly attentive, making sure everything was just right for my stay. Plus, its location made it easy to explore nearby attractions without hassle.

    A mini fridge would enhance the experience.

    My stay exceeded expectations after a previous visit to berkeley. The location is unbeatable, just a few blocks from the university, and the room was clean and quiet. The staff were friendly and accommodating

    I stayed for two nights while exploring the nearby attractions and was really impressed with the welcoming atmosphere. The staff were attentive and made sure everything was just right for my stay. It was easy to go out for meals, especially with a fantastic spot just a short walk away that served delicious homemade rolls. The clean and comfortable decor made it feel like a home away from home, and I appreciated the free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. A mini fridge would have enhanced the experience, but overall, it was a great stay.

    quiet room
    comfortable mattresses
    great shower
    old motel
    minimal breakfast
    slow wi-fi

    I chose Downtown Berkeley Inn after feeling nervous about staying in a 2-star hotel, but it turned out to be a great decision. The motel is small and has a cozy parking area. Front desk staff were kind and helpful throughout my stay. I stayed in room 309 and it was quiet and clean—no safety concerns outside, no weird smells, and no bugs at all. I appreciated the new, super comfortable mattresses and the shower had great water pressure. The use of a U-shaped shower curtain bar added extra room, which I liked. The Wi-Fi worked well, too. The location is super convenient. I could easily walk to Cal and other attractions. It’s relatively inexpensive, which is a plus. On the downside, it’s an older motel so I noticed some stains on the carpets and bathroom fixtures. The breakfast options were minimal, which could be improved. The only real issue was the Wi-Fi being a bit slow at times, which I'd want improved for future guests. Still, that didn't overshadow my overall good experience here. I would definitely recommend it to others looking for a safe, clean, and quiet place at a reasonable price.
