Reviews
"Excellent customer service and beautiful vintage hotel with a great ambiance. We had a beautiful room overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Their complimentary breakfast was good in a fancy place with lots of nice details like fresh flowers everywhere, paintings, comfy couches, fireplace, piano… Walking distance to UC Berkeley and restaurants."
"What an honor to stay at this storied historic hotel. I felt her brilliant architect’s spirit in every space. Love the restaurant and the staff too."
"Okay let's do this! No AC no Heater. Pool by reservation for half the day. Beds dear Lord that isn't a bed it's not comfy at all. Great service they are kind when you call and ask about a heater. At least you have a space heater I mean for $250 idk bro it's a little wild. I get it julia but her best work was hearst castle tbh. Awesome location don't bring the kids. It looks nice for a venue. We should really not fire it reviews for being a hotel. Should be reviews for historial stuff and maybe the restaurant idk. Please y'all quit giving reviews about it being a hotel. Some upgrades 1000% this places gets 6stars but that's gonna take some HVAC and pleaseeee get some swipey cards and comfy beds with good pillows."
"Gorgeous hotel and refuge in the middle of Berkeley. Comfortable rooms, beautiful building. It's a Julia Morgan building and I love everything about it. Courtyard is a lovely place to be."
"Unpleasant experience. 2 out of 5 stars only for the courtyard and architecture. Otherwise I would rate it with one star. Waited an hour to check-in and encountered unfriendly staff. The reservation clearly said that check in is at 3pm, but the room wasn't ready until 4-20. The room smelled bad and had no working AC. To top it off, the restaurant was closed. Noise from other rooms and clanging pipes made sleep impossible, and the water was rusty. In order to access the pool you have to make an advanced reservations which is not clear upon booking. Cannot recommend."
