The hotel is across the street from the campus and very close to Memorial Stadium. My room was nice, small, but functional. I had a conference in the Faculty Club and it was a very short walk. The place also has a rooftop areas which is available to guests. I took advantage of a warm, clear night and could see... More

A very nice boutique hotel. I believe it was originally built as a women's college in 1928, so manage expectations. The rooms were very clean and quite small.

No water coming through shower or cold water, two cold showers on Saturday and a hot one just before checking out on Sunday. If you or anyone uses the toilet during the night it can be... More

There was only a single armchair. We had to request a chair for the desk. There were no coffee or tea making facilities in the room... More

I'm a Berkeley resident and I stayed at this adorable hotel off and on between apartments. I have stayed at other hotels in Berkeley but this seemed hands down the best value, most central (across the street from campus, 2 blocks from Telegraph, and walking distance from College or even the Gourmet Ghetto), and charming. If you're looking for a... More
