“Location Nice view of SF”
Worth knowing: Miniature cramped rooms. Dark and stuffy.
Great place to stay for a Cal football game. The higher rates were just a common “market will bear” thing.

“The architecture and furnishings were so cozy and nice.”
Worth knowing: Hot water in our room could have arrived a bit sooner for the shower, and wasn’t quite hot enough in the late morning, perhaps just a use vs. capacity issue?
A fascinating hotel with so much history.

“Beautiful hotel with so many interesting rooms to explore, and gardens to stubble upon. It was as if we were staying in a museum. The breakfast buffet was good. The staff were friendly and helpful. Great location.”
Worth knowing: Parking was expensive, and limited.
Great place to stay if you like architecture and are not too fussy!

“The Berkeley City Club is a gorgeous building, designed by Julia Morgan in 1929. The building is also a listed historical place so there is tremendous history. It has a gothic feel with vaulted ceilings, Corinthian columns and lots of stones, stairs and stained glass windows. Picture a monastery converted to a hotel. The meeting/event rooms are beautiful with fireplaces. I booked a double/queen room which is on the small side, no AC, nice sizeable bathroom with lovely tiles. I had breakfast and lunch in Julia, the breakfast is included and continental. Lunch in Julia offered a French California inspired menu. Quite good. It was busy during lunch as the BCC is opened to members and has ongoing events, etc.. The dining room staff were great, super helpful and nice.”
Worth knowing: The rooms are a bit small, no work desk available. The room does not have AC so summertime can be unbearable. The wi fi is really bad. There is no water offered, no kettle or mini fridge either. For first time visits, the front door is a bit confusing as you have to push a button and speak to someone to get in.
