Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We loved seeing this iconic property designed by Julia Morgan. We had a lovely time in the Morgan Room before and after our dinner. We were given a complimentary drink ticket at Morgan’s. In the morning there was a delicious continental breakfast with Quiche Lorraine and other delicious items. The staff was very personable and accommodating.

Yesteryear's Elegance
Very much enjoyed staying in this classic hotel. Designed by the same architect that designed Hearst Castle, It has beautiful public spaces with beautful carved wood and tile. The rooms are old with fixtures from the 1920's or 30's but comfortable and functional. Staff was friendly; breakfast included and was a step above the Hampton Inn style breakfast. The hotel is dark in part because of the dark wood but also because of the lighting-perhaps some LED lighting might help that. Location is spectacular-two blocks from UC Berkeley campus but surprisingly quiet. Our room had a view of the Bay. I would gladly stay there again. The place has character.
