Oakland hotel rooms a the Independent

"Always nice year after year"

"lovely, comfy rooms. quiet and cozy"

"Beautiful historic hotel. Lots of history. The dining room is gorgeous and the breakfast was really good. Rooms are small but that was expected. They are nicely decorated in the era of the building. There was a space type heater in the room which worked fine. Maybe the radiator doesn’t work anymore..Shower was strong and water was warm. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had the added benefit of learning about the history of the building and the architect, Julia Morgan."

"Historical establishment "

"Good place to crash for an evening after a show! Staff were nice, room was clean and parking lot if safe. No AC so if it were the peak of summer would be way too hot and sheets were pretty scratchy. But in a good spot and a pretty walk able area"

"Didn't know the surroundings were suspect but it was okay. Walls are on the thin side. "

"Overall it was good I will come again "

"The only problem that I had was just the parking, other than that it was a great hotel just to stay for the weekend. "

"soda machines dont work or are sold out"

"For the price, good deal with great location in downtown Berkeley and room not street side was quiet. Neat older building design (though a bit tight)."
