Beautiful Blast from the Past

Beautiful historic building in the heart of the Berkeley campus. Building shows its age and lacks a few creature comforts. No TV in guest rooms, but fast internet let us easily stream on our iPad. We will stay again, but if you go be prepared for a beautiful well run facility a few decades behind in technology and modern conveniences.

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.

Love the architecture and history of the building. Rooms are small but adequate. There is a free medical clinic next door which can attract some sketchy people, but overall we love staying here.

Historic charm..

The place is beautiful and the customer service was stellar. The only issue I had was the room size. Literally a bedroom and bathroom. However, it was very nice and comfortable.

Old and worn

PROS: good mattress, windows that open in room and bathroom, bathroom renovated and bright. CONS: besides the bed, furniture was old and beat up-see photo. Door require key to lock and unlock. Big gap under the door so noise from the hallway and other guests was disruptive. Cups in room were cheap plastic single-use. Heater was not adjustable and was an old wall radiator which was noisy during early evening. Wall art and lamps could have come from a garage sale. No TV in room, wifi signal weak.

We loved the history and architecture of the hotel. Staff was friendly and attentive. Lovely view from our room of the bay. The food at Julia’s was fantastic .The only negative was the noise from party events at night, but quiet by 10:00pm.

This is an old historic hotel. There is no tv only one electric outlet in a room. The pipes are noisy. But that's why you come to BCC. The pool is beautiful. The ere is a little garden plaza. It's a place to relax and talk to family or friends. Read a book and detox.
