What a hidden gem! This is a beautiful hotel with a rich history. Safe onsite parking and walking distance to Berkeley campus and the Greek theater. Friendly staff and volunteers. Only downside was the bar/lounge and restaurant was closed when we were there (Sunday/Monday) which I get but I think if there are guests, you should be open. But the lounge was open so we brough our own drinks and enjoyed the ambiance. Wonderful continental breakfast included in stay. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back!

This is a historique and charming building. Although it doesn’t have tv or ac, it is a wonderful place to step back in time and relax. The courtyard is lovely and shady. Our room was comfortable and clean and lovely. We would definitely return here!

The hotel is amazing! Historical and cultural! Loved it!! The night we stayed was a wedding and play , the Resturaunt was overwhelmed and unable to seat us , the bar was as overwhelmed,, There was a lot going on and we couldn’t view some of the areas The complimentary breakfast was very pleasant the next day and the hotel it was much quieter! I do recommend it, but maybe not on a Saturday night with a wedding and play going on!

This is such a beautiful historic hotel! The bed was really comfortable and the shower had great water pressure. Room 408 has a nice view of the Golden Gate Bridge. And bring a bathing suit because their indoor pool is magical.

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!
