This is a beautiful historic property which is also a private club. Built in 1929 so this gorgeous structure has some aging issues. You know that as a guest. No TV, and no AC. You can deal. But as an owner you need to be responsible. So when the bathroom sink leaked and the closet light didn't work, we reported those things as we left for a 4 hour hospital treatment. When we returned nothing had been done. They miscommunicated about the maintenance and didn't have another room. So we decided to leave. At departure they then offered an upgrade to another room, but couldn't refund the night we hadn't used although we were checking out before 1:00pm. I won't stay again, but you must see the building because it is a treasure. Not the management, but the building.

The perfect place to stay for a lover of History architecture and uniqueness. We got to stay on the top floor with a great City View . I picked this place for the historical pool and loved everything else . The breakfast food was outstanding and the dining hall delightful as well. We walked to a concert at the Greek Theater and found a late night food court on the way home. I will spend more time in the hotel next time I stay here! If you are finicky about needing a place to feel overly sanitized and super updated than maybe stay somewhere else. If you want to stay in an unforgettable whimsical fascinating spot this is it!

Berkeley didnt disappoint.
we had a 6th floor room with amazing views of the Golden gate Bridge ( hiding in the fog)and University of Berkeley. We could walk out onto a roof terrace. The breakfast was good and we used the parking. also took a yoga class in the Library and swam in the marvellous pool.

Historic building…
A good stay in a historic building. I loved the convenience of being able to walk anywhere on Cal’s campus. The included continental breakfast was well worth the price of the hotel stay. Fresh quiches and fresh bread and pastries were awesome! However, if you are used to the more spacious amenities of more modern hotels this isn’t for you. Only a few USB ports in the room, beds and rooms are on the smaller side. You have an actual metal key to get into your hotel room. No rfid cards here. My only complaint was a $100 charge on my room. The hotel did call me to confirm the charge was actually mine. Not sure if another guest mistakenly used my room number. Overall, if you are looking for a place to campus and don’t need all the modern conveniences it is a great option. I love history and would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Small, musty and very basic room ... particularly surprising considering the price. The hotel is a great historic location in Berkeley and reasonably close to Cal campus and downtown attractions, but the space and amenities need some serious updating. Parking is extra challenging and an extra charge if you have a car.
