Love the beautiful architecture and historical aspects of the property. Well located near the Cal campus and very convenient for public transportation. Breakfast was a lovely added bonus! Only detraction regarding the area is the homeless situation which is evident throughout Berkeley & SF.
Historic and beautiful. Bed was soft and everything clean. Can’t wait to visit again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
Building is gorgeous! Great location
However our room was tiny, bathroom super old, bed small and uncomfortable very difficult to find a working outlet anywhere
For almost $400 I’d expect more!
Love the old building, such a great piece of history for Berkeley. The architecture and pool were amazing. Plus the little quiet green space courtyard. Staff all very friendly. The room was comfortable and quaint. Great location too. Only downside was construction a few doors down, which started very early. And some college kids doing some workout chanting at 6:30 but you can’t fault the property for those.
Lovely, classic Berkeley hotel. We had a wonderful stay and we will be back!

Easy to walk to Greek Theater, Interesting history, good food!
Beautiful indoor pool only available for lap swimming, no free swim.
The bar doesn’t open till 4 pm & closes early.
Expedia room gives you the one by the elevator.
