Ben, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

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.
Mukesh, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

The property is very convenient when visiting our child at college. The staff at check in and check out were very friendly.
Cindy, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

We love the location of this hotel near Berkeley. We drank at the bar/restaurant. It was a depressing place, not like the old days.
Michele, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Good business stay

Nice cozy spot that did the job for my business meeting stay.
Mario, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

I liked how close it was to Berkeley
Brianna, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Come for the location and friendly front desk. Don’t come for the shower (weak, inconsistent temperature), or breakfast coffee efficiency (stood in a queue for 15 mins in lobby to get a cup of coffee). They are redoing the restaurant so maybe some steps in a positive direction, but rooms feel dark and old. Outdated bathrooms.
Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Funky vibe
Paulo, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

I’ll start by saying that the staff was amazing. My low rating is based on the fact that this hotel is listed as 4 star hotel and its price. It’s nowhere near a 4 star. 2-3 star at best.
Anoop, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Graduate was ideally located for an evening at the Greek Theatre on the UC Berkeley campus.
Monica, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Always a fun option. The rooms are small, decorated with university of CA, Berkeley swag. Easy check in and a place to park which is valuable in Berkeley. Decent food on site, thousands of restaurants within walking distance as is the University.
