“The hotel stands a block from the University of California Berkeley, and I think its vibrant social events and retro decor make it a good fit for campus visits. I noticed the gastropub emphasizes California wines, and flexible cancellation policies add convenience. For those exploring Berkeley, this could be a worthwhile choice.”
