Our family was in Berkeley for a college visit this week. We chose this motel because it was near UCB, and Tripadvisor.com gave it an overall good rating. We anticipated not spending very much time in the room and decided to look for a no-frills but decent lodging. When I booked the reservation, I noted our late arrival. We arrived... More

This Travelodge is a great place to stay. The location was perfect for us, a few blocks from BART and near UC Berkeley. There is a great variety of restaurants nearby. We had a large room with two comfortable beds. Our room had cable TV and a desk, a refrigerator, a microwave and a coffee maker. Everything was fresh, clean... More

I spent 3 nights here with my management team doing a job in Berkeley. On the website the Travel Lodge advertises the "Bear Bites continental breakfast". This does not exist. Nor, contrary to their website, is there a gym or pool. No daily paper was ever seen. There is a vending machine for sodas and ice. A coffee pot is... More

This is a great hotel. The cleaning staff are very nice. The front desk (Manny) is friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic, close to BART and near a variety of nice restaurants. The bed was comfortable, the bathrooms very clean with plenty of hot water and the room well organized. The price was a great deal. My husband and... More

Manny at the front desk is friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, near U.C. Berkeley and many good restaurants. A short walk to BART. The room was clean, the cleaning... More

We found the place expensive considering its value (summer being high season in Berkeley). Okay for a night, but there are much nicer options in Berkeley, also close by. Unfortunately, the better places were all booked so we ended up here. No charm and not too clean either (lots of stains on the sheets and a dirty shower).

We were looking for a place that was inexpensive, clean, comfortable, safe (including with an in-room safe for valuables), and convenient for a bit of work - i.e. wireless internet at no charge. We found it at this Travelodge. The room was large and the bed comfortable. There was a nice TV and desk, and a refrigerator, microwave and coffee... More

We probably had the best room of the hotel. Quiet, clean and good beds, 10 min from the bart. Just one thing, don't count on the breakfast, you'll get nothing good from here.
