"Staff was not very friendly and was not able to change the Date due to a mistake on the reservation was not help ful at all "

"The people were so rude. I got a confirmation number but when I showed up, the people wouldn't let me in. They said they should have the rent of the room out and I said how can you rent the room when I have a confirmation number they were rude. It was ridiculous and we couldn't go into the room so we just left but how do they give our reservation away?"

"Great place if you’re visiting the Berkeley area or Cal in general. In walking distance of everything Cal related with great local spots everywhere. It’s a very old hotel and they have leaned into that, so if you want somewhere modern this isn’t for you, but if you want a piece of Berkeley history I highly recommend. "

"Great location near the dinner and concert we attended last night. Hot breakfast hit the spot Bacon and eggs with fork tender country taters. Very clean. Would stay there again for sure."

"Really sneaky hotel. Staff at the front desk did not mention how much the parking was until after the deposit was paid, as a result they will lock you into it before disclosing what is collected within the deposit. Overall not straightforward at all and just shady business tactics. Property is old and not up to current day standards. The bathroom tub in our room had cracks snd shower curtains were messy. "

"On Monday, March 9, 2026, 13:19, Sheldon Patterson wrote: Dear Manny, Thank you for your detailed explanation regarding the $259.16 authorization. I appreciate the transparency about how the third-party reservation was configured within your property management system and how the authorization was mistakenly placed on the billing share rather than the incidental share. That said, I want to be very clear: Sheldonmpatterson@yahoo.com is a valid and active email address, and 408.705.8015 is my valid mobile phone number. Both are correct and fully operational. Regarding the authorization, while I understand the internal explanation involving system shares and third-party billing structures, an authorization for the full room and tax amount—when the stay was already prepaid—creates unnecessary financial strain and inconvenience. Even if the amount does not ultimately post, an improper authorization can: • Temporarily reduce available credit or accessible funds • Trigger overdraft or over-limit fees • Interfere with other pending financial obligations • Cause reputational or credit-related complications in certain circumstances It is important to note that unauthorized or improperly processed charges, even if temporary, may carry legal implications depending on their impact and duration. Consumers are protected under federal and state financial regulations regarding unauthorized transactions and improper billing practices."

"Great area for walking, beautiful views, clean room. Plugs available on one side of bed only, room organization could be better. Had problems getting seated for breakfast, and order never arrived after 40 minutes."

"I would like to give a special thank you to Hannah at the front desk for her exceptional service. Although check-in was scheduled for 3:00 PM, we arrived around 11:00 AM simply intending to drop off our bags. She graciously accommodated us with an early check-in at no additional cost and provided us with a room featuring a beautiful view overlooking the city. The rest of the staff were equally friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The hotel itself was clean, well-maintained, and very aesthetically pleasing. However, the fifth floor did have a noticeable musty odor, reminiscent of old or stale cigarette smoke. Additionally, the bed was quite firm, which may not suit those who prefer a softer mattress. The restaurant experience was average. While the staff were attentive and kind—kind enough to remove a drink I didn’t enjoy from the bill—the food and beverages did not particularly stand out. Overall, despite a few minor drawbacks, we had a positive experience and would consider staying here again in the future."
