Notes: From 1911-1917, the Berlin Hotel occupied the Chancellor Hartson building on the northeast corner of Third and Main streets in Napa, California. The Chancellor Hartson building was built in 1911 by Asenath Hartson Cope, the only daughter of Chancellor Hartson, a prominent Napa County district attorney and judge.

The Berlin Hotel was owned and operated by Adele Alexander, who was married to W. F. Alexander, former mayor of Napa. After he passed away, she remarried and changed the hotel name to the Connor Hotel for patriotic reasons, and in honor of her second husband, Russ Connor, a prominent local businessman.

The Connor Hotel continued to operate under various owners until 1979, when it was torn down under the Napa Community Redevelopment Agency program that affected many buildings on Main Street.
