“Pleasant oasis close to UC campus”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

I really liked the common areas of this hotel more than I liked the rooms. The garden area was lovely and inviting, even in January. The freshly baked cookies and coffee/tea that are available in the afternoon and evening in the check-in area are a nice touch. The living room with the comfy couches and gas fireplace are very inviting. The rooms seemed a bit tired and somewhat musty, although ours was very roomy. One bed was very soft and there was a step up from one room to the next that was a real trip hazard. When we came in at midnight we could hear, in one of our rooms and in the bathroom, the folks in the next room talking very loudly. The parking was certainly adequate on the weekends since the overflow could park on the street, but it would be problematic during the week. Overall, a pleasant experience.

“Comfort and Convenience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Only stayed one night at the Rose Garden Inn, but had a pleasant experience. Staff was friendly and welcoming -- the complimentary coffee/tea and cookie on check-in were appreciated. The room I stayed in was roomy with every convenience (including refrigerator and small refrigerator). The decor is faux Victorian which can be a bit overwhelming for a minimalist like me, but considering the theme of the property it made sense. Garden well taken care of. Bed was comfy and the off-street parking was helpful. Only downside was that in my room (201) the floor in the bathroom slants down so some of the water escaped from the accessible shower and flooded the floor. Written warning about this would be helpful!

“Was ok”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

Was an alright place to stay for the proximity of businesses in the area; however I would not stay again. Was expecting a little more of an upscale experience. This hotel was recommended by an acquaintance, but when researching the property at its website and on others the photos don't provide an accurate picture of the condition of the property. I consistently had muddy water from the faucet, dusty upholstered furniture and a few other very small things. Luckily my stay was very short. My stay wasn't unpleasant, the staff was friendly however if I revisit the area I'll stay elsewhere.

“good value in a very expensive area”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

We have stayed here twice and have been satisfied both times. This is not a large hotel that is part of a chain. We most often stay in large chains - Hilton, Marriott, etc -- but have stayed here because of the location and value. The rooms are not fancy, but the beds are comfortable, the in room entertainment (direct TV) good, and there's free parking. You can also walk to local restaurants, a Whole foods market, and other stores. The breakfast is ok, but is included in room price. There are no elevators, so if you don't want to/can't carry your bags up flights of stairs, ask for a 1st floor room. The court yard garden with flowers and benches is very nice and pleasantly fragrant when the flowers are blooming.

Room Tip: we got a large king room with a fireplace, microwave, and refrigerator for $159/night. there are no...

“No respect to the customer.”

It was horrible experience.
They did an obvious mistake with customer receipt, wrong name and last name and the number of guests. The manager had awful attitude responding that and he was not accountable for correcting this mistake.
They do not care about customer satisfaction.
