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 charm, many spaces to relax outside of the room, friendly service, outstanding buffet breakfast!
Amy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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!

Our 5th floor room had lovely view of san francisco! Bed very comfortable. Loved all the history. Highly walkable location. Gorgeous pool. Very nice free breakfast.

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.
