The hotel is in a great location for those who do not have a car. It is literally across the street from the BART stop and is super easy to find. The hotel staff was nice and accommodating. The lobby is somewhat small and seemed even smaller due to massive reconstruction happening to restaurant in the facility. The business center... More

We stayed at this hotel during CalSo (freshman orientation at Cal). The school cancelled parents' accommodation last minute due to residence hall needing renovation, I had to book a nearby hotel quickly. I am glad we came here as the hotel is quite comfortable. We had a 5th floor room facing the back, it was very quiet, there was no... More

Clearly they had an angry and frustrated decorator. The stark black and white lobby is in poor taste, but the bullet hole wallpaper upstairs is beyond hideous. Rooms are quite small, and you can't really shut the bathroom door, but other than that, it's satisfactory. Location is convenient to all the homeless and panhandlers.

Dear schindlr, We regret that you did not appreciate our décor and realize that style is very personal. We have been delighted that over the years most of our guests have appreciated the thoughtful design. I believe what you call “bullet hole” might be our “starburst” wall covering. In addition, not all rooms are small. We have a few, known... More

This was an excellent stay. The hotel is charming in a funky way. For example, the wallpaper and carpets in the corridors were a psychedelic explosion. But the place was very clean, the room large and comfortable, and the bar stocked with good craft beer. One observation--the rooms on the Shattuck Street side are pretty noisy. There are crowds of...

Don't get me wrong... the stay was fine. The rooms were certainly well-appointed, everything clean and the staff nice. But I'm not here to tell you that my regular room that cost $300 was nice... it SHOULD be for $300 in Berkley. And depending on what the options are in Berkley, I would stay here again.

We stay at the Shattuck to attend a conference. We had a king sutie, great room over looking the main street, interesting people to watch. All the staff was very friendly and professional. Very close to the BART station. Great dinning in the area.
