Darioush Winery

Tried to call the hotel in my way as I encountered delay driving there from LA. was nearly impossible to reach someone to talk to just to indicate I will be late and will check after midnight. After many trials was able to reach someone on the phone and series of questions including when exactly will you be here ? Bearing in mind I had 5 unexpected car accidents on the way which I explained but it was so complicated to deliver the idea for some reason!! The rooms are not easy to access from the lobby. The parking lot which you pay almost 50$ a night is not well maintained. By the way park outside the hotel .. it is free ! The room itself was tight Beds are double not queen so tiny to sleep in esp if you have kids with you. The back outs were not functioning like black outs they were so thin that the light bulbs were shinning in our eyes and the rooms were brightly lit all night long ! No breakfast included in the reservation The only good thing is its proximity to Berkeley university if you need to be there .

It is an old and historical building, so, it smells old. The location worked great for us. The building is impressive and well kept. Ceiling felt low on the bedroom. The gym and spa were great, food was excellent, including the coffee. Staff was available and helpful.

Great location with train station just outside. Overall the hotel is in good condition, but hallways smelled a bit musty and walls are thin so you can hear even normal volume conversations in neighboring rooms or the hall and anytime someone uses a shower. But the shower itself was good with great pressure and both rain and handheld options. Staff are nice. Good bar in the lobby and simple amenity like getting a small cup of iced lemon water was nice.
