Downtown Berkeley Inn

I liked everything about it.

Nothing that I didn't like.

Great room and location for the value!

I usually stay in higher end places, and was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the Downtown Berkeley Inn. The room was comfortable, had air conditioning and was quiet. It’s Berkeley, so some street noise is inevitable but no noise from other guests. The proprietor was super nice and helpful, bringing a bucket of ice up to my room when I needed it. The furnishings are a bit worn but very serviceable. Good simple shower. No breakfast, and I brought my own coffee maker since I don’t care for standard motel coffee. Another advantage is that there was free parking! We managed to get a spot every time.

I would have liked to bring my own coffee, but the coffee maker in the room was set up for premade pods. There may be other coffee makers if you ask. She’s very accommodating

It was quiet even though it's next to a school. It's only 1 block from downtown. Transportation is plentiful and close including a bike route.

I had to request a mini fridge for my long stay ,it's not actually a room feature. Low water pressure in the sink. Cleaning is by request as well, but that is only a slight drawback.
