This beautiful hotel/club built by Julia Morgan who also designed St. Simeon, dates from the 1930s. The rooms are small but comfortable with baths consistent with the era that are spotless despite many original fixtures. Classical music plays in the lobby. There is ONE TV in the TV room which is also an archives. The pool is beautiful and open... More

They provide breakfast from 7 AM - 9 AM, it is DELICIOUS. The bed is not comfortable, the rug on the floor was DIRTY, there was no hot water, and the front desk staff is not that nice. Other than that, your pick if you want to stay. Only reason why I chose this place to stay was because I... More

This hotel is an amazing, beautiful beaux arts builidng, lovingly restored and beautifully furnished with period pieces. Although pleasant for a visit, the overnight stay was not as comfortable as we would have liked. There was no hot water the day we arrived, and the problem was not resolved until the following morning. Besides not being able to shower, the... More

My room was impeccable, and the entire building and small garden area are a treat. Coffee and breakfast were great as well as internet access. Location is near Telegraph, Cal campus, downtown, and walking distance to North Shattuck. Parking is affordable. I will definitely stay here again. More

I typically stay at one of two hotels when I am up in the Berkeley area but both were booked on a recent trip so I took a chance on Berkeley City Club. I was given a queen room on the 6th floor but interestingly, the biggest rooms with the bigger beds are closest to the elevator and since the... More

Having grown up on the Central Coast, Hearst Castle was always an iconic landmark. Recently when I had a chance to stay overnight at what came to be known as “the Little Castle” (aka the Berkeley City Club) I jumped at the opportunity to experience another of architect Julia Morgan’s uniquely beautiful buildings. As a guest at the hotel, one... More

Stayed at the Berkeley City Club on a business trip this week. The hotel is very clean and is a must for architecture and history buffs. It's not your new, contemporary hotel - it is almost like you are staying in a museum. The staff is very friendly and our stay was pleasant. More

Me and a buddy needed a place to stay in Berkeley, because Primus was playing at the Greek Theater. Found this hotel on LivingSocial for 1/2 price. What an awesome place even at full price. Gorgeous historical building, incredible indoor pool...just awesome! When we got there Dale, who owns the hair salon in the hotel gave us a private tour.... More

We enjoyed every nook and cranny of this architectural gem, which included gardens and an enclosed sun room.There's a wonderful pool as well. There are many common-use places for sitting and visiting on the first two floors. The room includes breakfast and parking. The hotel is conveniently located just a few blocks from UC's campus. It's easy walking to many... More

The Pool and breakfast was wonderful! The room was small but very clean (their Maid's rock). I do feel they should have T V's in the rooms. There is a T. V. in the "History Room" downstairs. I had to pay $120 a night for my room It would have been nicer to get a even better rate as I... More
