    This property is very comfortable and the family that runs it is very accommodating. My daughter lives in the area and this motel was very convenient for my visits back & forth from her place. Not fancy at all (I would pick someplace else if I were traveling with my husband) but perfect for my solo needs. Clean and comfortable.

    I enjoyed the nice and friendly service. The room was very clean but lacked a garbage bin in the room. The surrounding neighbors also lodged at the Inn were quiet and respectful. The neighborhood itself was also peaceful at night. There is a refrigerator and a microwave in the room for your use but no coffee maker available, which was fine because Peets is just up the street on Piedmont Ave

    Relatively cheap, given how expensive hotels are in the Bay Area, but you get what you pay for. Overall condition of the room was alright. What annoyed me though, was the checkout time listed online was 12pm, but they kicked us out at 11:30am, claiming that checkout was at 11am. Not sure we would stay here again.

    The room, while spartan and small, was very clean. Bottled water, a microwave and small refrigerator were in the room, which I had not expected. Shampoo packets were provided, but not soap. The sink drained slowly, but the shower was fine. The building exterior was swept and clean. Staff members were friendly and helpful. Total experience was much more than I expected, especially considering the low price. I would definitely stay at the Travel Inn again.

    It was close to Bart. But check-in was just ok. The woman kept talking on her cell phone and making me wait, making it a long process. The room didn't look like the pictures. The mattress and chair had stains :( There was a lot of noise, long time residents, drinkers, yelling. There were stains on the door, on light switches. Very unsanitary. I won't be booking again.

    I liked that the property was quiet, well-lit at night, much safer than I expected (given that I knew the location in Oakland usually is populated by people who like to hang-out on the streets). I appreciated the level of service and the cleanliness of outside property as well as the room. Originally I was concerned that the event I was attending would end late at night and that the Travel Inn would be dark and without parking spaces upon my return, I was wrong: the place was brightly lighted, inviting, and still had parking spaces within the gates. I also liked that the property has a fence around it, and that an Attendant remains in the office at night near the gate entrance. I plan to return at a later date, and would recommend the Travel Inn to other individuals and families. Thanks for the warm hospitality, and for keeping your property inviting.

    Stayed in this hotel for a weekend trip to San Francisco. Read the reviews and saw good comments and saw how close it was to San Fran so we decided to give it a try. I must say the area is a bit sketchy since it is in Oakland, but the hotel is gated and had surveillance and bright lights at dark which made us feel safe at night. Staff members are very nice and the owner was open to any questions or needs that we needed. The rooms were clean and the bathrooms were nice. It does get loud when others are outside or doors close from other rooms but that didn’t bother us at all. For the price, this hotel is a good choice.

There is definitely some sketchy activity going on around the place. The neighborhood is a bit iffy. For me this was fine, I never felt unsafe, but for a family or someone looking for more amenities, I would probably not recommend. If you are looking for cheap, clean, low-frills and very sweet welcoming owners, this is your place.

    The hotel is very clean and quiet, the bed was super comfortable, and staff made us glad we'd chosen this hotel. And just a few blocks to BART!

    Finding a hotel in Berkeley is a pain these days. Needed a room, this place was very reasonably priced. Pros: good price, air-conditioning that really worked, free water bottles in room. Was quiet. Cons: some sort of plastic liner under the bedsheet that crinkled every time you moved. No carpeting in room (my room at least), the entire room was some sort of linoleum/fake hardwood flooring. No bathmat for shower, so had to use one of my bath towels as a floor mat. Not a super great neighborhood. Will stay again in a pinch, but this is a VERY basic motel. The airconditioning was the biggest plus because it was warm that night.

    An impromptu booking due to a late Amtrak arrival, not much available in my price range. Reviews here weren't as awful as others in the same price range. Pleasantly surprised by the clean, comfortable room despite the dicey exterior and the gate for the parking lot which gave me security concerns. Note to guests: Do ask manager for extra towels, soap, shampoo, etc if you need it. They are very nice and are generous in accommodating requests

    I try to be fair with my remarks and not complain about frivolous things but this time it is necessary. My wife had to clean hair out of the bath before she could use it. The room is very basic and doesn't even have bedside lamps. 1 pillow each and very noisy a/c.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and quality of the Travel Inn. Arriving unexpectly late on Amtrak, I had to scramble to find accommodations late on the Friday of a holiday weekend. At first I was put off by the price, but apparently it is very reasonable in this market. Well located at the edge of Berkley it is convenient to plenty of shops and restaurants. While I don't need luxury, I do need clean and Travel Inn met my expectations in that department. Advice: do ask at check-in for soap/shampoo & towels if you plan to shower. I have come to expect breakfast or at least coffee on site, but Travel Inn's no-frills style doesn't have it. But there is a refrigerator and microwave in the room if you plan ahead to bring what you need to heat up there. The free Wi-Fi worked well updating multiple devices without any problem. I was so impressed that first night that I booked again a few days later an advance of an early AM Amtrak departure.

    I was really surprised by how clean this room was, usually these roadside motels aren’t so tidy, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I arrived to the motel really late, after midnight, and the clerk was incredibly friendly. I would definitely recommend this place. It’s inexpensive, clean, minimalistic and comfy.

    This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room had one chair, the beds were hard as a rock with plastic on the box springs and we had to have our pillow slips changed because they were dirty. No blankets on the beds and no towels racks in the bathroom and no where to put anything. We got up in the morning and there were ants in the bathroom and had to have our room changed. They didn't have another room with queen beds so we were given a room with a king bed and two of the smallest pillows I have ever seen. The flat screen tv was the size of a book and sometimes the volume didn't work. No coffee in the room, no hair dryer and they charged if you wanted ice. We complained to the manager and she offered no explanation at all. I would never ever recommend this hotel and you should take it off your web page. It was the worst experience I have ever had.

    This budget motel was clean and the staff were extremely kind and accommodating. There are no frills or extra amenities but you get more than you pay for. The neighborhood is not great but it's a short walk to Bart and close to other interesting areas in Oakland and Berkeley. I highly recommend if you're on a budget.

    The room was clean and well mainteined. Even though it was not very close to the downtown area, it felt relatively safe. The staff was nice and accommodating. The biggest area for improvement is the toiletries. They did not provide much except for bars of soap. Overall good experience.

    I was looking for a relatively inexpensive, clean, comfortable motel to spend one night to be near family. My son suggested looking on MacArthur Blvd & after reading reviews I chose Travel Inn. This is a very clean, newly remodeled bathroom, clean comfortable bed, great heater for a chilly night. No frills just a great place to spend the night. It felt safe with a deadbolt on the door. Owners/managers were very pleasant and helpful. It has a clean microwave and small refrigerator. I will stay there again.

    My boyfriend and I came to Oakland for a concert, and this hotel was just awesome. They are doing some remodeling, but we felt secure and it was quiet at night. It was clean and the staff was very friendly assisting to our needs. I’ve gone to several 5 star hotels and been dissatisfied and disappointed. But this is a 5 star experience to me and definitely would come back. thank you for making this awesome for us!
