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!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

Property was okay. They need to change the carpet in alleys. Food options were limited, I suppose due to renovations. However, it was very expensive for the service and quality.
