Unique artsy hotel
Funky hotel with great artwork, comfortable bed and yummy restaurant. Great service at the front desk. The person inline in front of me was having some kind of issues and didn’t want to discuss it infront of other people. The young lady behind the desk immediately recognized she needed privacy and invited the guest to come around to the side to speak to her privately. It was seamless and classy and so well done.

Close to UC Berkeley. Old hotel. Excellent staff
Older hotel with excellent staff. Next to Unit 1 Residence Hall and convenient to UC Berkeley which were my main reasons for staying here. Elevators are a little slow. Had a room with 2 double beds which was fine. Bathroom was small, without a ventilation fan so heat and moisture remain trapped in the room. Fixed shower head was difficult to move, no shower wand, and pressure was low. Parking is pricey but convenient. Nice lobby for hanging out or waiting for others but a lot of students use it for studying. Limited dining options onsite but plenty within walking distance. Staff were helpful, and accommodating. Good place for a short trip if you need to be very close to UC Berkeley.

Be Warned!
We have stayed at other Graduates, but this one had some definite issues. The walls are not insulated very well, so you hear your neighbors. Also, there is a pizza joint across the street on the NW corner open until 2:00 AM. This has become a gathering place for students and other young folks, so very noisy for our three nights between 1:00 AM and 2:30 AM. We couldn't sleep during those hours. Our second night saw the police breaking up the crowds about 2:30 AM. Likely to get worse because they are building new student housing right next door. So unless they change the hours of the pizza place across the street facing west, this place cannot accommodate people who need to sleep between those early morning hours. Be warned!

This hotel was a great surprise. Location, style, comfort and service were excellent. We walked to coffee shops, restaurants and to explore the Berkeley campus. A second shout out to service, everyone was super friendly and helpful.
