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.

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.

“Beautiful historical hotel with so much character! I truly enjoyed the nostalgic feel of an era gone by — from the elegant architecture to the vintage charm throughout the property. It feels like stepping back in time while still enjoying modern comfort. A unique and memorable place to stay in Berkeley!”

If you like looking at historic property this is the place. If you are looking for a quiet get away without distractions this is the place. You can hear the other showers on the other floors and the vacuums through the floors. The pool is ok, swimming at night is a bit spooky.
