Perfect!
David greeted us with warmth and we had just driven 8 hours, so that was truly appreciated. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom lighting was great and the shower had great pressure. Great stay! Had a delicious brunch of Falafel Wrap and my son had a delicious Chicken Wrap.

saved me! very helpful staff
I travel often for business, and Shattuck is my "go to place" for visiting Berkeley... can't beat the location and ambiance. This time I had a mixup, and left something important in my room (when I checked out). I called later in the day, and the staff saved me! they not only tracked down the item, and held it for me for pickup later in the day. Thank you!

This was my second time staying here. I love it. Beautiful, clean and very friendly and helpful staff from the front desk to the bellmen and everyone in between. Great location in Downtown Berkeley with restaurants in walking distance, close to Cal, and public transportation steps away. Highly recommend Hotel Shattuck Plaza!

The check in and check out was perfect, door people, lovely, room cleanliness was terrific, bar staff was mixed (was there 2 nights: first night the bartender and server were terrific, the second night the server was literally unpleasant)
