Excellent stay

This hotel was a great surprise. Location, style, comfort and service were excellent. We walked to coffee shops, restaurants and to explore the Berkeley campus. A second shout out to service, everyone was super friendly and helpful.

The rooms are small but normal for the area! Area was safe and we had a great trip
Tracy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I liked the convenience for visiting USC . The staff was very nice and helpful and the public areas are cute. They gave me a room with a confortable bed but it had a tiny bathroom and the tub was old and seemed like it was from the 80’’s. I only stayed one night so ut was ok but not a 4-star experience.
Angelica, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property is nice and classic Northern California. It’s a hit dated and needs the elevator fixed but all in all it is my favorite place to stay when visiting kids at Cal.
Hrach, 2-night trip

Good location, friendly staff,
Rennie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved the creative decor, the spaciousness of the room, and the pleasantness of the staff. The only thing I did not care for was my location right next to the elevator — a bit noisy.

Perfect hotel for our quick trip to Berkeley. Clean, friendly staff and great location.

A hotel in the middle of everything in Berkeley

If you want to be in the middle of everything in Berkeley this is the hotel. The staff is great but the rooms are a bit old now. This time the hotel had problems and for days the WiFi did not work that was disappointing.
