About Howard Johnson by Wyndham Berkeley

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Berkeley is a budget-friendly hotel offering a clean and well-maintained environment. Guests appreciate its good location, just a 10-minute walk to BART, making it convenient for exploring Berkeley. The hotel provides free parking, which is helpful, though parking can be tight and challenging for larger vehicles. The rooms are generally clean, with some featuring three beds in one room, and equipped with amenities like a hair dryer, ironing board, cooler, and microwave. The rooms do not have carpets, which guests find cleaner. Wi-Fi signals are strong, and daily towel changes are appreciated. However, some guests note that the walls are thin, leading to noise issues, and the overall appearance can seem a bit dingy or institutional, with institutional grey-green walls and a somewhat dated look. Other minor inconveniences include a rickety toilet, tricky shower controls, flickering bathroom lights, and a strobes porch light, especially in specific rooms. Despite these quirks, many guests find the hotel suitable for a short stay and value its affordability and location, with some mentioning they'd stay again. The hotel staff are praised for their helpfulness, especially when dealing with last-minute changes or cancellations.
