Beautiful Blast from the Past

Beautiful historic building in the heart of the Berkeley campus. Building shows its age and lacks a few creature comforts. No TV in guest rooms, but fast internet let us easily stream on our iPad. We will stay again, but if you go be prepared for a beautiful well run facility a few decades behind in technology and modern conveniences.

Love the architecture and history of the building. Rooms are small but adequate. There is a free medical clinic next door which can attract some sketchy people, but overall we love staying here.
