Come for the location and friendly front desk. Don’t come for the shower (weak, inconsistent temperature), or breakfast coffee efficiency (stood in a queue for 15 mins in lobby to get a cup of coffee). They are redoing the restaurant so maybe some steps in a positive direction, but rooms feel dark and old. Outdated bathrooms.

THE BERKELEY GRADUATE REMINDS OF AN INTURIST HOTEL

If you never had a chance to visit Russia when it was still the Soviet Union, the Graduate hotel in Berkeley will giive you a sense of what an Inturist hotel was like. The desk clerks don't smile; they lock the doors at night after about 11; there's one very slow elevator to serve hte rooms on six floors; and you wait in line for 15 or 20 minutes to place your order for breakfast, if you get into line before hte croissants and muffins run out. Oh, and the internet is very slow.
