This fun and funky boutique hotel was just right for us. Close to UC Berkeley campus, in easy walking distance of restaurants, etc., we were right at home immediately. Bus and BART are convenient. They helped us rent a car and got us a discount, too. Down-to-earth friendly and helpful service. Suggestions for driving and parking in SF. A complete... more

I stayed here because it seemed quaint, but when I saw the actual location I was worried. I went to UCB and this far down Telegraph it starts to get sketchy. I was worried about the car. Also, it seemed very easy to obtain access to the property and our room opened to the outdoors (garden). Breakfast was dour and... more

We are def. returning to the Rose Garden Inn. Staff is amazingly attentive, but not intrusive... which is always a plus. Our room was spacious, warm, and comforting... almost as if you never left home! Not to mention, breakfast is served early in the morning. Your day can be devoted to a stroll down Telegraph's shops or you can ask... more

My stay at the Rose Garden Inn quite delightful. The hotel resembles a collection of upscale bed and breakfasts. I loved the victorian themes, the antique dolls, and the window seats with multiple pillows and cushions. The location is quite convenient, there is parking at the hotel, the breakfast was fine, the people were gracious and helpful. I would definitely... more

The Rose Garden Inn was very disappointing. The facilities consist of four different buildings of different styles built at different times and connected in a hodgepodge way. It appears that amateurs designed and built the grounds of this complex. In addition, the place feels old and not very well maintained. The room that we stayed in was small and made... more

Coming from halfway across the world, Malaysia, we had no idea what hotels were available in the Berkeley area. The only source available were through the internet. My wife found RGI through the net, immediately booked a room and later informed me. Her reasons - it has a lot of roses and flowersand it looked so romantic. I was apprehensive... more

Our room (garden, 3) was large enough to sleep in, but no more; in bad weather, or with the garden and public rooms of the inn occupied by a function, we'd have disliked it as cramped and dark. The bed was good; the electrical outlets numerous; the internet connection excellent. The bathroom was semi-functional, with a slow bathtub drain (a... more

Did not expect much from other negative reviews. We were pleasantly surprised by the Inn. First of all, the staff was very friendly and helpful. That made the shortcomings of the Inn quite bearable. An example was when something in the room broke (things seem to be at the end of their life expectancy on the premises), staff was there... more

We traveled to Berkeley for Homecoming / Parent's Weekend and choose to stay at the Rose Garden Inn. We booked a Junior Suite for two nights. It was spacious but the floorplan & furnishings left lots to be desired. When entering the room you were met head-on with a large queen bed - literally right when entering the room. There... more
