Perfect location for UC Berkeley. Kind staff and proper university feeling. Hotel is a bit worn and the rooms are small. Breakfast is nice, but voucher-system gives less choice.

Great place if you’re visiting the Berkeley area or Cal in general. In walking distance of everything Cal related with great local spots everywhere. It’s a very old hotel and they have leaned into that, so if you want somewhere modern this isn’t for you, but if you want a piece of Berkeley history I highly recommend.
