Location is great, close to Berkeley. Helpful and welcoming staff. Slightly worn building: one elevator made noise that had a guest take the stairs, and water pressure in shower was weak. Expensive parking (40$).

6/10 Good

The location and lobby portion of the hotel are awesome and very cool vibe, travelling for work was really helpful to have that workspace available. That said the room wasn't great, the lighting was really dark, AC switched on and off and overall it kind of just smelled old and maybe like mould or something. Its clearly an old building and priority went into the lobby space but the rooms weren't very nice

A nice little hotel with a quirky vibe. Room was small but bed was very comfy. Updating little things like towel racks will go a long way. Loved that it was very walkable to The Greek where we watched a concert. Eric at the front desk was fabulous. Enjoyed our stay!
