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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

This place is very quaint, but sometimes it seems a little bit worn. The bed was a little old. The air conditioner unit was also old (and noisy; I had to turn it off). However, I slept fine, and the staff was really very pleasant. I love the area as well. This is the third time I’ve stayed there, and my impression is fairly consistent about it.
