I have to admit I was very nervous to stay in this 2 star hotel, but this and the Wyndham Travelodge were all that were available and I am glad I chose Downtown Berkeley Inn. It is a small motel with rooms around a small parking area. Front desk staff extremely kind and helpful. We were in room 309. PROS: It was quiet and clean. No safety concerns about people loitering outside the hotel, no weird old musty smells, no bugs, never heard another guest despite it being completely full when we were there (those were my worst fears). Mattresses were clearly new, super comfortable. Shower water pressure was great and despite it being an older bathroom they had a u shaped shower curtain bar that made for more space than showering . Hairdryer in room and decent toiletries. Wifi was good. Super convenient location to walk to Cal and everything in the area. Relatively inexpensive. CONS: You get what you pay for, it’s an older motel, so some stains on carpets, bathroom floor/tub, duvet covers.
