5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

This is the second time we stayed here while visiting our sons. Our room was clean and neat. We had a small refrigerator to bring home leftovers from dinner and a microwave. The price was good. The WiFi was slow at night, but earlier in the day it worked. We plan to stay there next time we visit our sons.

This is an adorable little motor inn. Our room was a simple king bed, HBO and free WiFi, complimentary breakfast, which we didn't partake. The WiFi went caput in the evening, probably because of the load that everyone was putting on it at night. Bathrooms are really nice. Overall, simply a nice, clean stay. You can also tell the the...

We flew to Berkeley to see my daughter's dance show, and it also happened to be Cal Day. The hotel we usually stay in raised it rates, as many hotels do during special event weekends. This Rodeway Inn on University was the lowest price option and also had some reasonably good reviews. I was not disappointed with the motel. The... More

Frankly, I was a bit surprised seeing the place after the good reviews. The place was just okay, better than bad, but not good. The rooms were not dirty per se, but there was something about the whole place that was just sketchy. On a good note, the man that worked there was pleasant and the breakfast was a decent... More

We didn't need a lot of room or luxury, so saved about $70 over our usual hotel down the street, and originally paid for two nights through hotels.com. Yes, the room was VERY small, and the furniture was scuffed. However, the carpet seemed new, and the tiny bathroom had granite counters and seemed completely remodeled. The TV was fine, as... More

It doesn't look like much from the street, but you pull in and find a nicely kept one story court. Our room had a nicely painted and upgraded room and bath with tile floor bath and crown molding in the bedroom. Small bedroom for two beds. Wireless internet was fast and easy. New flat screen TV. Breakfast was toaster waffles... More

We stayed just one night to visit our son for his 30th birthday. One night was plenty. From the outside it looks nice and is very convenient to downtown Berkeley. Unfortunately, the property is quite tired even though some updates have been made. Beds are doubles, that is all that is available. Morning was quite noisy but the coffee was... More

Stayed there for 5 nights. One good thing is it is close to BART station - Berkeley North. (5 min walk). It has got few restaurants close by - Indian Food, HImalayan Flavor, pizza places and couple of cafes. But nothing else. If you do not have a car, its far away from amenities. Service was average, rooms are fine.... More

On the positive side, this property is certainly nicer than most Rodeway Inns. The exterior is very appealing with flowers, fountains, picnic tables etc. The room had things you don't expect in a Rodeway like granite in the bathroom. The wifi was excellent, which is very important to me. The breakfast was decent - props to them for having quality... More
