    Convenient Stay with Character!

    We loved our time! The location near campus offered great convenience, and we enjoyed delightful dinners at the onsite restaurant. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making our family feel welcome. For a pleasant stay, request a room on a higher floor to avoid noise from the festivities below.

    delicious hot dogs
    great pizza
    fun bar
    wobbly toilet
    noisy room

    The Graduate Berkeley rolls out the red carpet for foodies! Enjoying some epic eats at nearby Top Dog Berkeley Southside for their famous hot dogs, and the jams at Gypsy's Trattoria Italiano made my taste buds dance! The bar was chill and perfect for unwinding after a day of culinary exploration.

    Parking was a bit of a mess, and we could hear everything in the adjoining room, making it less than peaceful.

    great location
    helpful staff
    fun vibe
    wobbly toilet

    Had an awesome time at the hotel with friends! We explored Jack London Square and chilled at Tilden Nature Area. The location is great, just a short walk from campus. Staff were super friendly, and the vibe was fun. The restaurant had good food, and the place had character that made our stay memorable.

    The toilet in our room was wobbly, which was a bit inconvenient. It didn’t affect our overall experience too much, but it could use some maintenance.

    big closet
    dated bathroom
    uncomfortable areas

    The Queen Room was spacious and clean, which was a plus. The comfort level was okay, but the bathroom felt dated and could use a refresh. I appreciated the big closet, but the overall vibe was a mix of fun decor with some spots needing attention. Not a deal-breaker, though—it had personality.

    cozy gym
    nice bar area
    chill spots
    extra parking fee

    I really enjoyed my recent stay, especially the cozy gym where I got in a good Peloton session and the fun bar area with decent food. There are some chill spots to hang out too, like a nice lobby and a comfy lounge upstairs. Just a heads up, parking was an extra $35 a night, so keep that in mind when planning your budget! 😊

    I loved the quirky decor that truly embraced the college vibe! From the funky bong-shaped lamps to the composition notebook info guide, every corner was a delightful surprise. The location couldn’t be better for exploring local eats and strolling around the campus!

    spacious rooms
    unique character
    tight bathrooms

    We had a wonderful time exploring the campus just a short walk away. The rooms were spacious and cozy, perfect for our family. The character of the hotel really stood out, making our stay feel unique and enjoyable.

    My wife says that the bathroom space was a bit tight for our family’s needs, especially with little ones. A family-friendly policy for better room upgrades would be great.
