I liked the convenience for visiting USC . The staff was very nice and helpful and the public areas are cute. They gave me a room with a confortable bed but it had a tiny bathroom and the tub was old and seemed like it was from the 80’’s. I only stayed one night so ut was ok but not a 4-star experience.

Be Warned!

We have stayed at other Graduates, but this one had some definite issues. The walls are not insulated very well, so you hear your neighbors. Also, there is a pizza joint across the street on the NW corner open until 2:00 AM. This has become a gathering place for students and other young folks, so very noisy for our three nights between 1:00 AM and 2:30 AM. We couldn't sleep during those hours. Our second night saw the police breaking up the crowds about 2:30 AM. Likely to get worse because they are building new student housing right next door. So unless they change the hours of the pizza place across the street facing west, this place cannot accommodate people who need to sleep between those early morning hours. Be warned!

I loved the creative decor, the spaciousness of the room, and the pleasantness of the staff. The only thing I did not care for was my location right next to the elevator — a bit noisy.

The property is nice and classic Northern California. It’s a hit dated and needs the elevator fixed but all in all it is my favorite place to stay when visiting kids at Cal.

This hotel was a great surprise. Location, style, comfort and service were excellent. We walked to coffee shops, restaurants and to explore the Berkeley campus. A second shout out to service, everyone was super friendly and helpful.
