I really liked the common areas of this hotel more than I liked the rooms. The garden area was lovely and inviting, even in January. The freshly baked cookies and coffee/tea that are available in the afternoon and evening in the check-in area are a nice touch. The living room with the comfy couches and gas fireplace are very inviting.... More

Only stayed one night at the Rose Garden Inn, but had a pleasant experience. Staff was friendly and welcoming -- the complimentary coffee/tea and cookie on check-in were appreciated. The room I stayed in was roomy with every convenience (including refrigerator and small refrigerator). The decor is faux Victorian which can be a bit overwhelming for a minimalist like me,... More

Was an alright place to stay for the proximity of businesses in the area; however I would not stay again. Was expecting a little more of an upscale experience. This hotel was recommended by an acquaintance, but when researching the property at its website and on others the photos don't provide an accurate picture of the condition of the property.... More

We have stayed here twice and have been satisfied both times. This is not a large hotel that is part of a chain. We most often stay in large chains - Hilton, Marriott, etc -- but have stayed here because of the location and value. The rooms are not fancy, but the beds are comfortable, the in room entertainment (direct... More

It was horrible experience. They did an obvious mistake with customer receipt, wrong name and last name and the number of guests. The manager had awful attitude responding that and he was not accountable for correcting this mistake. They do not care about customer satisfaction. More

I just stayed here on Saturday as I was seeing Michael Franti at the Greek theatre on campus and didn't want to drive back home after. Good location for walking to the Greek - safe area. I had a queen bedroom in the main building. It is definitely older, but the room was nicely decorated and aside from the age,... More

I have lived and worked in the Bay Area for years. I have an office right down the street from this place. It's within walking distance to UC campus and many restaurants, music and book stores, boutiques, etc... We decided to stay here when a friend came in from out of town. They upgraded us to a high end room... More

The rose garden inn reminded me of an old lady whose clothes while clean, are old and faded. the tv was an old style model and we were often without choices be cause the service was constantly searching for a satellite signal. Breakfast consisted if the same selection everyday, scrambled eggs, greasy bacon, sausages and potatoes along with breads, bagels... More

Older homes from the turn of the last century. Friendly staff from start to finish, guests equally as pleasant. The room was nice, quaint, period specific and lovely. Breakfast the next morning was tasty, hot, and very complete. Loved it. Bacon eggs, fried potatoes, or healthy alternatives a plenty. and the coffee was great! Thanks Matt and Donna More

This was my second stay at the Rose Garden in two years. I cannot say enough about the charm, the huge breakfast layout, and the wonderfully helpful staff, most of all the manager who, although I never actually saw him do it, must be able to walk on water. He coordinated educational rates for a class I was in, and... More
