The architecture and decor are an amazing representation of Julia Morgan's style. The pool is exquisite! Weekend stay can be noisy as the location is close to the UC campus.

Minor stuff
...a great fan of the Berkeley Club ...one or two observations...check in was a little slow, seemed as though the desk was a little short handed at the check in time of 3pm...also, water pressure on floor 6 was a little weak, probably due to everyone wanting to shower @ 7am, as I did... ...minor points though...have always really liked the place...

Historic, which means less than comfortable
This is an historic building; one cannot deny that. Unless your home is historic, however, you may not be aware of all that the "historic" label entails, including: small rooms, almost zero available outlets, really tricky climate control [the radiator had a vendetta against my sleep habits], small beds, tiny bathrooms with zero counter space. Now, fans of "historic properties" will tut tut these concerns, and that's lovely! For the rest of us, know before you buy...
