My wife and I visited Berkeley in order to assist the ceremony in which our daughter got her PhD. It was not our first visit to Berkeley, but the first time at the Rose Garden Inn. No doubt! everything was wonderful. First of all we admire the gardens in which all rooms are surrounded. We enjoy the quiet environment, the rich breakfast and the excellent location.
We will return!

I have stayed at quite a few of the very nice hotels in Berkeley, (ie..Hotel Durant and Holiday Inn Express), but this hotel is far and away the best. Let me start by saying the service is exceptional. When you walk in they now who you are and always try to accomodate any special requests. They have a huge full buffet breakfast including eggs, ...

Ownership and service were Great! The Innkeeper most hospitable! I wish they had a place in Monterey! Great breakfast each morning and very romantic rooms.

I would definitely go back. I went in the winter so the gardens weren't blooming fully but they were still really beautiful. I know in the warmer months that the roses and gardens would be perfect. The place has character in a nice way. The rooms are funky and kind of artistic and the building is gorgeous. I really liked it.
Also, there ...

The Rose Garden Inn was a pleasant surprise. We were there during the "rainy season" so did not get the full benefit of the patio gardens, but they were lovely. The location was within walking distance of the BART stations (though it was a long walk for most). Parking was readily available for most of the stay.

The breakfast was ...

I spent the weekend here on my 25th birthday with my boyfriend and it was just perfect. The room was beautiful and the fire place made it very romantic. I enjoyed the time we spent here and the yummy breakfast that was served!

My husband and I stayed at the Rose Garden Inn for 2 rainy nights in late February. Our visit to Berkeley involved dealing with some difficulties, so I tried not to let my feelings distort how I viewed the hotel. But, let's be frank, the Rose Garden Inn has seen better days. To say it is funky is putting a pretty good spin on it.

My ...

Very odd place. Carpets were dirty, sheets thin and sparce. The room was decorated with endless ugly throw pillows and flowered wreaths. No hot water at all by 9:00 a.m. Very small room with no place to put things. I was very underwhelmed. .... Two nights cost $333.00 for one person and that was supposedly the cheapest room. Won't go there again!

The hotel was so unorganized. I booked two rooms six months ahead for my parents and relatives. They flew from oversea to attend my graduation ceremony at UC Berkeley. Since I lived close to Rose Garden Inn, I actually went to the front desk to make the reservations and received copies of the reservations. I reconfirmed my reservations about two ...
