I don't understand negative reviews. We have stayed here many times over the past two years, and the room has always been very clean and pleasantly decorated, in a kind of minimalist Asian style. Very comfortable platform bed. Good air conditioning; large TV; good lighting. I know that some have complained about the noise, but I don't know of any... more

Nice room. No hotel noise. Friendly manager. Close to Cal. more

we were part of a large group attending a wedding, and we were a bit boisterous at times. No problem... our kids were told which room would be best for partying. We needed boarding passes for many people at many times over many days. No problem...we got great seat assignments on Southwest-while we were out enjoying wedding festivities. Free parking,... more

The location is great and the staff there are amongst the nicest I've ever met. The room sizes are a bit small but the has been redone w/ modern chic decor, super comfortable foam beds, and large plasma tv's. One block from Shattuck. Will definitely stay here again! more

You may be enticed by the offerings: a brand new TV, a foam bed, newly remodeled bathrooms. You have an alternative in nearby hotels, at cheaper price, eg. Berkeley City Club with even breakfast offered is a much better alternative. When we got there, we had to ring a bell to get customer service, a practice that is normal for... more

I read the reviews and they sounded great. The capets are stained and gross. I woke up freezing in the middle of the night as the heater was broken, and had to wake the night attendent (while standing on the sidewalk, ringing a bell) to change rooms. If they put new carpet in and new bed spreads it would be... more

This was my second stay at the Downtown Berkeley Inn. I stayed for eight nights and everything was absolutely perfect. The owners were so welcoming and so accomodating. My room was always immaculate when I returned at the end of the day-- no matter what time I left. The television service was excellent and the bed was so comfortable---much better... more
