Such a lovely and original hotel! If you like character over commercial, this is the place for you! Beautiful art deco features, a friendly staff, a lovely bar and gorgeous complimentary breakfast beyond the normal fare, and sweet rooms with just enough space for all! Will definitely be booking again for all my return trips to the area!

Historic property in a great location. Very accessible and easy walk in and around the university, friendly and helpful staff, but no coffee makers in the room, no TV’s in the rooms and poor water pressure for showering. The little things do add up.

Lovely stay in a gorgeous historic hotel

We stayed just one night, but wished we could have stayed longer! Comfy bed, lovely room & bath, and scrumptious breakfast. Fantastic view of the bay, GG Bridge, and SF in the distance. Excellent to be able to walk to Cal Performances on campus. We also spent a lot to time admiring the beautiful architecture and decor of the building. The wonderful staff is so lucky to be able to enjoy it daily!

Beautiful Blast from the Past

Beautiful historic building in the heart of the Berkeley campus. Building shows its age and lacks a few creature comforts. No TV in guest rooms, but fast internet let us easily stream on our iPad. We will stay again, but if you go be prepared for a beautiful well run facility a few decades behind in technology and modern conveniences.

It has amazing charm! The updates that have been made to the rooms and common areas are thoughtful, but do not take away from the history or stature of the propery.
