As a single mom, I came there for a school conference, but found the best part to be the wildly comfortable bed with a substantial / down-type comforter excellent pillows and blockout curtians.

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!
