Pros (+) The Fay building was from like 1902 and it was super cool to stay in the attic. Felt clean and the bed was cool. Old time furniture and a cool hang out vibe
Cons (-) The couch was a little sat out. That could have been a bit better

Summary of reviews
Guests say
Overall, guests enjoyed the friendly service and convenient location, but many expressed concerns about cleanliness, with reports of mold and dirt in several rooms. The hotel has character and charm, but maintenance issues and outdated facilities detracted from the experience.AI-generated from customer reviews

Pros (+) Cleanliness, comfort and location are big pluses
Cons (-) A little lower price
Pros (+) Friendly staff and convenient location
Cons (-) Not good value for money. Rooms are partially renovated and feel worn. Breakfast was not as good as a Holiday Inn. And for $300/night, I expect a little better.
Pros (+) Room was really big for the price! Loved the vibe of the place and the location was perfect! Breakfast was delicious!
Pros (+) Super relaxed in the middle of city chaos....thank you
Pros (+) The Rose Garden Inn is exactly as advertised on its website: it is a peaceful, quaint "village" style hotel -- a nice place to come home to. It is protected by a security fence and has off-street, complementary (not protected) parking. The staff is super friendly. Our room had a king-size bed and a king-size sofa bed. The furniture is not new, and there was a clothes-iron burn on the carpet -- it ...

Pros (+) I really loved the place. It's quaint and gorgeous and a very serene setting. I was doing business at UC Berkeley and was able to walk from to the university. It is not as sterile as other hotels and has a lot of character. The rooms are a little small but were fine for what I was looking for. The price was right and it is overall a very pleasant place to stay. If I ever venture back into Berkeley...
Cons (-) I didn't have a microwave or refrigerator in my room but I had access to a microwave in the lobby and was able to keep my beer cold with ice.

Pros (+) Staff was friendly and helpful during check in. Breakfast was great! Choose this option if you can. Freshly cooked sausage, bacon, and eggs among many other items. They also offered fresh baked cookies midday. Location was close to Oakland where we spent most of our time. Rooms were well kept. Wi-fi was good. Room service was delicious, but pricy (through an outside vendor).
Cons (-) A bit confusing to figure out where the main office/concierge was from the parking lot because the inn has many small buildings. I picked the wrong building at first. An arrow sign pointing to the concierge would have been nice. No AC, but there was an operational ceiling fan and open window are enough to cool the room. 2 small parking lots on either side of the property. Thankfully, we always fou...

Pros (+) The staff is friendly, welcoming, laid back, and very gracious. Our room (the Honeymoon Suite, I believe) was enormous and had some charm. It's great to be walking distance from campus, and to have offstreet parking (although we had to use street parking overnight 2 of our 4 nights at the Rose Garden Inn). Breakfast is very good -- although there's no change day-to-day, so it gets a little boring ...
Cons (-) The Rose Garden Inn is quirky & seems a little bit down on its heels. There was dust under the sink (which is in the room, not in the bathroom -- not even close to it) and there are places in & around the tub where the plaster suggests water leaks. Worse yet, untold thousands of gallons of water are wasted because the faucet & shower aren't water-conserving and the water just gushes out. And the d...

Pros (+) Like staying in an old Victorian home. Surrounded by tended gardens , with a courtyard and airy breakfast room. My room had an old-fashioned appearance and a gas fireplace. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. location is great, a short walk from UC Berkeley.
Cons (-) Parking was a bit tight. My bathroom could have used an upgrade, but worked well.
