Great boutique stay in the heart of Berkeley

If you want to be near Berkeley Campus, this boutique hotel is super cute! The theming is great, the rooms are cozy and retro yet have all the modern amenities. Gym was quite nice for a small hotel. The bar was appreciated as well! Parking was easy (not cheap). Would 100% stay again!

This property was close to the Greek Theater and was $378. We had to wait until 4:00pm to check in. Everyone else was allowed to check in...except us. Our room was filthy. The bath tub wasn't an option. And, the ENTIRE night, you could clearly hear conversations in other rooms, as well as banging around. The staff...was used to this. They didn't care. However, one girl was leaving and she offered to give me her parking space. I don't know where I would have parked otherwise. Total ripoff.

Come for the location and friendly front desk. Don’t come for the shower (weak, inconsistent temperature), or breakfast coffee efficiency (stood in a queue for 15 mins in lobby to get a cup of coffee). They are redoing the restaurant so maybe some steps in a positive direction, but rooms feel dark and old. Outdated bathrooms.
