The service I experienced was simple and relaxing. The hotel manager was nice, very helpful, and offered good service. The rooms were very spacious and clean. Rooms were organized and bathrooms very clean. The service and price was very affordable especially at this juncture. Bed was very comfortable, parking available, and good location. I was there for a graduation along... more

True to it's reputation, Berkeley also has a weird hotel market. You would think the demand from a zillion students and their families would spawn the usual selection of 6's, Hamptons, and the like; but apparently, there just isn't room to build. Instead, you're left with a tiny handful of luxury hotels, some odd mid-range ones, and a smattering of... more

We wanted a motel on the bus or subway line. Travelodge is close to the bus line – the Berkeley bus line. The subway terminal that gets you to San Francisco (called BART) is about a 10 block walk. We walked this at night and passed 3 homeless people sleeping in doorways with their shopping carts. My friend who lives... more

I recently chose Berkeley Travelodge to house guests from overseas. Even though the preparation of the rooms was unsatisfactory, this would have been bearable had the night staff not been rude and treated us to obscenities. Although the rooms were advertised as queen beds, the size of the beds was obviously twin. Furthermore, one of the toilets began overfilling when... more

The Berkeley Travelodge property is of very low quality. From the exterior the property looks like a very low-budget motel. The room interior was clean but old, run-down, and musty in odor. On the day of check-out, I left the room, walked downstairs to my car, packed my luggage and then walked over to the office to get a receipt.... more

What can you say, for the price, it is what it is. I need to be in Berkeley about twenty days out fo the year. My usual spot is down for renovations, so I had to break out of my comfort zone and try something new. I went with the "close to work" criteria in my decision. This will likely... more

Stayed on a 2nd floor room. Manager was generally nice and the location to the restaurants towards UC-Berkeley was great. She also said that safety was okay from the hotel towards the campus and not so great the opposite way - towards freeway. Price was good relative to other chain hotels and nicer properties closer to campus. Unfortunately, our room,... more

The clerk seemed rude when I checked in, but found over the next two days that it's just how she comes off- she was really very helpful and accomodating when I had to ask a couple of minor favors. The room was very comfortable, but I'd have to warn that they are really pretty small. I can't imagine them being... more

I have been staying with travel lodge since the mid 1950’s. My recent stay in Berkeley was very unpleasant. The room was just barely acceptable, the carpet was very dirty. This alone we could live with. But, after we checked in I could not phone out (dialing 9 gave me a busy tone). I phoned the office and ask them... more
