"Check-in was quick. Unfortunately, the room was dirty with, i'm assuming, previous occupant's dirty undergarments and leftover food. I went back to let the staff know and was quickly assigned another room. In the new room, we needed more shower towels, so we called room service and no one picked up the call. tried multiple times. I had to walk back to the check-in counter and let them know. The facilities are out-dated. Seemed neglected. It felt like a college apartment. The only thing going for this location is the views of San Francisco city lights. The professional pictures make it seem like a resort or higher level hotel, taking advantage of location on the bay... i don't thing it's worth it, considering how isolated it is, the condition of the area, and the difficulty in getting a good meal... won't be coming back here.

"the room was clean no air conditioning staff was rude and they don't except cash or debit only credit cards and the want 60 cash deposit but they don't except cash. makes no sense"

"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. "

"Great area for walking, beautiful views, clean room. Plugs available on one side of bed only, room organization could be better. Had problems getting seated for breakfast, and order never arrived after 40 minutes."

"I would like to give a special thank you to Hannah at the front desk for her exceptional service. Although check-in was scheduled for 3:00 PM, we arrived around 11:00 AM simply intending to drop off our bags. She graciously accommodated us with an early check-in at no additional cost and provided us with a room featuring a beautiful view overlooking the city. The rest of the staff were equally friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The hotel itself was clean, well-maintained, and very aesthetically pleasing. However, the fifth floor did have a noticeable musty odor, reminiscent of old or stale cigarette smoke. Additionally, the bed was quite firm, which may not suit those who prefer a softer mattress. The restaurant experience was average. While the staff were attentive and kind—kind enough to remove a drink I didn’t enjoy from the bill—the food and beverages did not particularly stand out. Overall, despite a few minor drawbacks, we had a positive experience and would consider staying here again in the future."

"This is a wonderful hotel. Super clean, bed was so comfy, breakfast was delicious, staff was super friendly. I will definitely stay again. "

"Smaller than I expected from the images, but overall it was a great place for our group to stay while attending an event at UC Berkeley"
