    The elevator is old and needs to be taken care of. Should have a small booklet and pen in the room as any hotel!

    Nice vintage place with very nice though expensive restaurant. Clean nice rooms. Excellent location in downtown and close to University. Very helpful staff

    There is no parking here which is odd. They don't comp the parking garage next door. Also my hotel neighbor was up all night talking on the phone and we could hear everything. Luckily we brought earplugs. For $200 a night I shouldn't hear anything.

    Location is great. Was easy to find and next to everything down town.

    Parking is a bit of a challenge. We ended up street parking (on a Sunday night) with no issues. Could of used some luggage racks in the room to set suitcases on.

    Great location. Big clean room. Nice bedding. Lobby bar looked nice. Walked through campus in the morning.

    The King bed was very comfortable- the pullout bed was pretty bad. Too small for two people and very uncomfortable mattress. The room heaters were very loud and kept us up as they turned on and off all night. The room was very clean - which was nice. The shower drain was slow and the tub filled with water after two showers. Staff was quite friendly.

    The room we had was a bit small, but it was comfortable. My wife wished there was a hot water kettle for tea.

    I liked the helpful staff and clean facilities. I especially liked that it was an interesting historic building. A good location near downtown, the university, and public transportation. Two coffee makers in the room (Keurig and Nespresso)!

    if you need an invocie for the stay make sure they give you a printed one...
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Business Class Room with One Double Bed
    • Stayed 8 nights

    Every day there was a different amount and variation of towels. One day I had to ask for a shower towel, the next day the hand towel was missing... If you need an invoice, make sure you get it printed out while check out. My stay was one month ago and I still do no have the invoice. Called several time to the hotel, also tried to contact the hotel via booking.com. Every time I was assured they will send it via mail... but till today, no invocie. Would not recommend the hotel for business travel.

    The price is good, considering the area (Berkeley). Also the location is very good, close to a BART station. The rooms are quite comfortable.

    Unfortunately there wasn’t a parking lot for the hotel so we had to pay $38/night. Also the bedding and pillows were uncomfortable and cheap. Time for an upgrade!

    The hotel was located close to the Berkeley campus and to great dining options.

    Linen in the room was minimal. One wash cloth and hand towel for 2 people and no shower mat. We used the had towel. I also appreciate real half and half for the coffee in the room. I cannot drink coffeemate, the only option there was.

    The lemon drop martini at cocktail hour was exquisite. Breakfast delicious-we had the artichoke heart, fresh basil and tomato scramble. Staff members at both the hotel and restaurant were friendly and helpful. Looking forward to another trip to Berkeley so we can stay at the Shattuck.
