Convenient position in Berkeley

Dependable Wi-Fi
Despite a small number of dissenting voices, most past visitors were appreciative of the free Wi-Fi supplied by the hotel. The general opinion of the wireless Internet was that it was dependable and worked well for the most part.
positive:
Rooms well-equipped with useful amenities
Although they were judged to be far from perfect overall, the amount of beneficial amenities included with the Berkeley Inn's rooms was seen in a favorable light by previous guests. In particular, the inclusion of a microwave and refrigerator with each room was praised.
Negative Reviews
negative:
In need of TLC throughout
Past visitors were often disappointed about the condition of the Berkeley Inn. It has been stated that the rooms are past their best, with the furniture and televisions derided for being outdated. Furthermore, the supposed lack of soundproofing has also received criticism.
negative:
Cleanliness in need of improvement
The hotel's hygiene standards have scored poorly with numerous former guests. When it came to the accommodation's apparent lack of cleanliness, stained sheets, pungent smells of cigarette smoke and visible dust have all been somewhat regular issues in the past.
negative:
No-thrills choice with limited facilities
With no food options, elevator or recreational facilities, the Berkeley Inn is a bare bones accommodation choice - something that was lambasted by visitors to the hotel. Moreover, the reportedly limited amount of on-site parking spaces has proven to be problematic on various occasions.
