A comfortable place to stay in a great location

This is a very comfortable and affordable place to stay for a visit to Berkeley. It's in a convenient location within walking distance of a lot of great restaurants and shops, a Trader Joe's, and the BART. My room was clean and quiet. The lobby was generously stocked with free snacks and drinks.

Great location in Berkeley

The Signature Inn was in a very convenient location for my trip to Berkeley. The parking was great, the rooms were adequate, and the bed was comfortable. I liked the touch with the Le Croixs!

Property was very nice and clean and the staff was very nice! Property included parking as well so that was a huge relief! Stayed here for a concert and thought it was cool that the staff also played music from the band too. When we checked out and got in the car staff was already in the room cleaning so it's nice to see they care

Unfortunately, our hotel room was very dirty and poorly maintained. For the price we paid it was ridiculous. Ill fitted sheets, broken handles on drawers, broken shelf, broken shower handle, gross stains and splatters on wall that looked like boogers and a cockroach to top it off. Staff didn’t care at all when we brought up our concerns. Very suspicious of all the five star reviews.

The room was very clean, not large but really nicely appointed. The area was good, walked to the Greek Theatre and to restaurants. Overall for the price it was a very good hotel and convenient.

An Inexpensive Motel

Our stay was pleasant, as were the staff. Although recently renovated, the bathroom had only been painted so steel fittings were old and rusty, and the grout/sealant needed bleaching as it had black mould on it. Most of the charging points and some sockets were not working, or had the tiniest charge going into them - not enough to actually charge a phone. A couple of queries prior to our stay went unanswered. There is not enough parking for one car per room. No breakfast is available though there’s a breakfast restaurant across the street. The bed was comfy and the linens clean. Price was the main driver for us and it is inexpensive for Berkeley.
