Nice central location. Staff was mediocre at best and didn’t make an effort to be accommodating. Not a 4 star hotel but still nice

The wonderful, friendly, helpful staff absolutely made this visit. The rooms are small but modernized and clean—if you’ve stayed in hotels in Europe you it will feel familiar. The lobby and bar / restaurant are gorgeous but the stairs and hallways are a bit worn down. Which can come with the territory in historic hotels so I didn’t really mind. Hotel is walking distance from so many things, including the BART which is literally around the corner. Overall delightful stay, made even better by the staff.

A hidden gem in downtown Berkeley with lovely staff, convenient walking and a great bar and restaurant. Our room was quiet, clean and comfortable. Very relaxing in what can be a rather chaotic city.
