Convenient for UC Berkeley
Other than a mix-up at checkin, stay was fine. Room was smallish, but adequate counter and cupboard space for short stay. Easy walk to UC Berkeley.

Easy, friendly, check in and great location! The rooms have everything you need just being an eye mask if you need the room dark to sleep and the curtains are good but the bathroom set up/location in the room we had allows a lot of light in.

Pretty, safe, and comfortable
This was an incredible stay for me, my husband, and our dog. The hotel is so pretty and charming! It's in the middle of the downtown buzz, and yet it feels safe. I also didn't feel like the noise was too bad, and we slept ok. I LOVED that each floor had a water machine, that's something every hotel should have, as it makes life so much easier. It's always nice to find a cool hotel where we can bring our doggo. We weren't there long, but will definitely be back.
