Great place to stay to enjoy downtown or attend events at Cal.
Pros:

Location, historical building, friendly staff, fun bar/lounge, and modern updated rooms

Cons:

Street noise from late night revealers and people shouting all night. But also understanding of downtown location that comes with the territory.

Overall stay was nice, the shower in my room was leaking and would spray everywhere. The toilet didn’t flush correctly.
Pros:

The location and the restaurant downstairs.

Cons:

I didn’t like that my room wasn’t ready for an hour after my check in time, and they weren’t apologetic about it.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

The restaurant. I tried to call the restaurant multiple times to pre-order for breakfast, it just keeps ringing. I called again in the morning at 6.30 for room service multiple times, kept ringing. I called again at 7.40 am multiple times but just kept ringing so I called the guest service to ask them if restaurant is open and mentioned to them that restaurant isn’t answering, the staff said the fastest way to order was to
Come down so I did. When I got there, I had to wait about 7minutes because no one was there , when I saw the staff, i went to ask him if I could order for room service ,he said and quoted “I can’t do that right now because I’m by myself.” I was very disappointed because it’s my son’s birthday and wanted to surprise him.
