This motel lives up to its good tripadvisor ratings. It is very clean, very conveniently located and includes a light breakfast. It was also very quiet even though all the rooms were sold out. We had two rooms (for four of us) and, inexplicably, my daughters' room was never cleaned. We were gone all day and came back to one... More

Superclean, nice staff, breakfast with cereal bars and veggie juice, rooms were spotless clean. Fridge was noisy but that's normal. First night we had a normal room which was great, second night we had to move to one of their upgraded rooms (got it for the same price). Upgraded room had wooden floor instead of carpet and a massage shower.... More

I needed a good, quiet, clean, comfortable, affordable place to call home for eight nights in Berkeley, and a colleague, a well-known name in the music biz, recommended this one -- and it delivered. The rooms are smallish, but the beds are big and comfy. Rooms have microwaves and mini-fridges with freezers, wifi and HDTV. Best of all, the rooms... More

We stayed at the Rodeway in Berkeley during spring break for a college tour of Berkeley. It was one of the closest places to the University that was available so we could get there for a tour since the university said there was no parking for visitors. Great location, lots of excellent restaurants near by. However, we were an overbooking,... More

I found this Rodeway to be an oasis in the middle of Berkeley - and the best Rodeway Inn in which I have stayed. It is clean, quiet and well furnished. The king-size bed was very comfortable with a like-new mattress. The lav, wc and tub were spotless and in perfect condition. Also appreciated the cleanliness of the exterior including... More

This was my first stay at the Rodeway Inn in Berkeley. I perform music at the nearby Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse quite frequently when I am in the Bay Area. I like the convenience of being in the center of Berkeley near both the University and some excellent restaurants within walking distance. The energy from a college town is my... More

Although this motel has good points (good price, apparently clean, good location, friendly staff), there was a suspicious musty smell that might have been mold. Those with respiratory issues might do well to stay away. More

The hotel is just okay overall. It's a good value and a good location. The rooms are pretty small. I was alone with a king bed so it was okay. The bathroom is VERY small. The water pressure in the shower is awful. It does have a small fridge and microwave. Mine doesn't have a coffee machine but there is... More

It's a very small motor inn that has been decently kept up. We had 4 people in a room (2 adults, 2 teenagers) and it was very crowded. The beds were full, not queens, and way too soft. Two people to a bed (and we're not large people) made for a very uncomfortable night's sleep. The lobby is tiny (6... More

I recently stayed 4 nights at the Rodeway in Berkeley while attending a nursing education conference. It is an excellent value. The staff was pleasant and accommodating, the rooms clean and well kept (it was remodeled in 2007), comfortable, and quiet. Rooms have refrigerators and microwaves, great water pressure, the water tastes great. They also have a continental breakfast including... More
