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.

This is a community gathering place (plays, dances, weddings...) that is also a hotel. It has been faithfully / lovingly preserved as it was envisioned 100 years ago. It has a character and beauty not found in many contemporary hotels. What I particularly love about the hotel: the simple, beautiful room illuminated with natural light, the plant-filled atrium where one can have a quiet conversation or picnic meal among tree ferns and hummingbirds, and the galleries leading to one beautiful setting after another. This is my go-to place to stay when visiting Berkeley.

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!

Standard rooms are basic. Door handle on bathroom was broken — the door would only stay shut when you were inside it and locked the door. Great history but tired.

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!

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.
