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.

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.

Beautiful historical building and grounds. Lousy area kind of, and parking is terrible …cool rooms, if very small.

The property is beautiful! The staff was very welcoming. The person that checked me in was very friendly and helpful after I arrived way too early. They made sure my bags were stored so I could go grab food. They also picked out a room with a view of the Golden Gate.
