Best location in Berkeley. Very friendly and nice staff. Great bed.They rent a bike for guests wtaht is great. Excelent rstaurant in lobby.
Problem with rooms isolation. You can hear walking above your room and every conversation from next room.
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!
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.
THE BERKELEY GRADUATE REMINDS OF AN INTURIST HOTEL
If you never had a chance to visit Russia when it was still the Soviet Union, the Graduate hotel in Berkeley will giive you a sense of what an Inturist hotel was like. The desk clerks don't smile; they lock the doors at night after about 11; there's one very slow elevator to serve hte rooms on six floors; and you wait in line for 15 or 20 minutes to place your order for breakfast, if you get into line before hte croissants and muffins run out. Oh, and the internet is very slow.
