4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

We didn't need a lot of room or luxury, so saved about $70 over our usual hotel down the street, and originally paid for two nights through hotels.com. Yes, the room was VERY small, and the furniture was scuffed. However, the carpet seemed new, and the tiny bathroom had granite counters and seemed completely remodeled. The TV was fine, as... More

It doesn't look like much from the street, but you pull in and find a nicely kept one story court. Our room had a nicely painted and upgraded room and bath with tile floor bath and crown molding in the bedroom. Small bedroom for two beds. Wireless internet was fast and easy. New flat screen TV. Breakfast was toaster waffles... More

We stayed just one night to visit our son for his 30th birthday. One night was plenty. From the outside it looks nice and is very convenient to downtown Berkeley. Unfortunately, the property is quite tired even though some updates have been made. Beds are doubles, that is all that is available. Morning was quite noisy but the coffee was... More

Stayed there for 5 nights. One good thing is it is close to BART station - Berkeley North. (5 min walk). It has got few restaurants close by - Indian Food, HImalayan Flavor, pizza places and couple of cafes. But nothing else. If you do not have a car, its far away from amenities. Service was average, rooms are fine.... More

On the positive side, this property is certainly nicer than most Rodeway Inns. The exterior is very appealing with flowers, fountains, picnic tables etc. The room had things you don't expect in a Rodeway like granite in the bathroom. The wifi was excellent, which is very important to me. The breakfast was decent - props to them for having quality... More

The location was perfect for our needs. Although on a major street, it was quiet. The room was very clean and comfortable with a microwave and a small refrigerator which has a freezer compartment so we were able to keep our "Blue Ice" properly frozen. Parking is easy. We would return to the Rodeway next time we need a motel... More
