We were moving our son to Berkeley for grad school so booked rooms for 3 nights. The outside doesn't look like much, but inside the rooms are very nice. The beds are very comfortable and the big screen TVs are a pleasant surprise. There is some street noise (its downtown) so higher floors are best.There is no restaurant on site... more

I stayed at the DB Inn for five nights while visiting my son at UC Berkeley. The hotel was in an ideal location, and the room had a great big comfortable bed, plenty of move about space, and was very clean. I had trouble with my flatscreen(!) TV the second night and the owner was in my room in a... more

I booked a three night stay through Hotels.com -- no muss no fuss. The hotel is a three story strip in what used to be a sketchy part of town, apparently. It's literally a five minute walk from the hotel to the local BART station and was a twenty minute walk to the part of the UC Berkeley campus I... more

On this visit, we were drawn to the Downtown Berkeley Inn based on all the great reviews and the more reasonable price than the Durant. Unlike the great reviews everyone has posted, we were... more

Location is great - just a block or so off Shattuck. and, for those so inclined, close to the subway that you can take from either Oakland or SFO airport. Room is big and a bit spartan, but excelled in the two things that matter the most to... more

I found the Downtown Berkeley Inn to be very clean, comfortable and conveniently located walking distance to shops, restaurants, BART, university. The decor had a nice, simple and modern feel. The rates are very reasonable and the owner was a lovely person and extremely helpful when I had questions. I loved it and I would absolutely stay here again!!!! more

I stayed in the Downtown Berkeley Inn for four days while I was visiting UC Berkeley, and I was very impressed. The rooms are clean, decorated with new furniture, and the location is very close to everything in Berkeley. Every room has a large flat screen TV, and there is free parking. The hotel is run by a family that... more

I am so glad that I stumbled upon this hotel website while looking for a reasonably-priced hotel where I could stay while on a 6 day business/pleasure trip combination to the Bay Area. First of all, the price was a very reasonable (my total bill, after taxes and fees, was $724 for six nights.) The location was great, just a... more
