Great hotel and location. Only two issues: 1. the sink is very small. It would help to have more surface near it to place my bathroom accessories. 2. very thin walls and floors. one evening i could hear strong footsteps above me, but they stopped. One night I could hear an alarm that went off for hours -- the room must have been empty. On the plus side: 3. It was nice to be able to use the $25 resort fee on food at the very good restaurant!

Unique artsy hotel

Funky hotel with great artwork, comfortable bed and yummy restaurant. Great service at the front desk. The person inline in front of me was having some kind of issues and didn’t want to discuss it infront of other people. The young lady behind the desk immediately recognized she needed privacy and invited the guest to come around to the side to speak to her privately. It was seamless and classy and so well done.

Close to UC Berkeley. Old hotel. Excellent staff

Older hotel with excellent staff. Next to Unit 1 Residence Hall and convenient to UC Berkeley which were my main reasons for staying here. Elevators are a little slow. Had a room with 2 double beds which was fine. Bathroom was small, without a ventilation fan so heat and moisture remain trapped in the room. Fixed shower head was difficult to move, no shower wand, and pressure was low. Parking is pricey but convenient. Nice lobby for hanging out or waiting for others but a lot of students use it for studying. Limited dining options onsite but plenty within walking distance. Staff were helpful, and accommodating. Good place for a short trip if you need to be very close to UC Berkeley.

Location is perfect for UC Berkeley based activities. Room has everything I need. Nice hit water, comfy bed, blinds block out the light, safe. Saw the same staff over all days of my stay. Knowledgeable and easy to communicate with.

I liked the convenience for visiting USC . The staff was very nice and helpful and the public areas are cute. They gave me a room with a confortable bed but it had a tiny bathroom and the tub was old and seemed like it was from the 80’’s. I only stayed one night so ut was ok but not a 4-star experience.
