Coming from halfway across the world, Malaysia, we had no idea what hotels were available in the Berkeley area. The only source available were through the internet. My wife found RGI through the...

One night was tolerable; I'm pleased that we didn't book for longer

Our room (garden, 3) was large enough to sleep in, but no more; in bad weather, or with the garden and public rooms of the inn occupied by a function, we'd have disliked it as cramped and dark. The...

Mostly positive

Did not expect much from other negative reviews. We were pleasantly surprised by the Inn. First of all, the staff was very friendly and helpful. That made the shortcomings of the Inn quite bearable....

We traveled to Berkeley for Homecoming / Parent's Weekend and choose to stay at the Rose Garden Inn. We booked a Junior Suite for two nights. It was spacious but the floorplan & furnishings left...

I had read some of the other reviews and was somewhat concerned. But a friend highly recommended the hotel, so I gave it a try. I would say I'm glad I did. The hotel grounds are very pretty. When I...

Overpriced for what you get

The price is high for a small hotel like this. The rooms were ok, clean but kind of worn. Breakfasts were decent. Service was ok. If it were priced lower it would be fine, but at the current rates the...

It is really hard to find a place to stay in oakland/berkeley. I spent the first few days of my trip in san francisco and then needed to be in the east bay for four nights. I booked RGI from the web...

It's interesting how varied the reviews are for the RGI. I've stayed here half a dozen times, and I've always found it a pleasure. Yes, some upgrading needs to be done, and the rooms (I've been in...

First off, I know this is a long review, but to interested travelers, it's worth the read! >When I first called the RG, I was politely greeted and assisted by the staff as I inquired about...

Avoid This Place!

My elderly parents insisted on staying here because of its convenient location. That, and the breakfast, is the only thing this place has going for it. The rooms are small, dark, cramped, dark,...

When the guests asked me about moving to another room (after they had explained their medical issue) they were given keys to 3 other rooms to look at & they were the ones that selected the room they...
