hot and cold

The hotel was old but had clean bedding and everything seemed clean in general. My main complaint is that the shower water went from luke warm to scalding hot. I re-adjusted the water and then the water went to cold. Re-adjusted, then scalded me again. I finally gave up before getting clean and refreshed.

A place to sleep at a steep price.

My wife and I stayed at the travel lodge just before flying back to the east coast. It was a fairly clean room. What you are paying for is the location. It is very close to the BART and the shops and restaurants of Berkeley. The room is small and the cleaning products used have a crazy strong odor, we tried airing the place out while getting ready for dinner but to no avail. It smells like you are staying in the pool shed with all the pool chemicals. We paid $99 for the night which was the cheapest we found but it was more like a $50-60 room. This is the cost of staying in Berkeley.

Berkeley Travelodge- APC Concert

The hotel was small but the room was ok six. The bathroom was a little cramped. The hotel attendant was very nice and helpful. Rowdy roomates since so close to the college but we went for a concert at Greek theatre so it was good walking distance.

a very positive experience

Went to Berkeley for a engagement party and shared the room with an old friend. We got the best room in the motel in my opinion. It was upstairs in the back corner, so very little noise from other rooms or the street. It was clean and comfortable.

We wanted to go to dinner after the party at a little after nine PM and nothing was open on a Thurs. night. We ended up eating at a bowling alley on San Pablo

If you like seedy motels, decorated for children that are a real solid hike from the light rail - this is your place.

So convenient

Stayed here for the UCBerkeley homecoming/parents weekend. The location was an easy 5 min walk to the campus and many, many restaurants. Free parking was particularly appreciated on a football weekend. Rooms were compact but quite clean. Exactly what you want for a quick visit to UCB.

My review of Berkeley Travelodge

An old fashioned motel with very small rooms and generally not very nice, particularly for the price even if the location was fair.
