Great place to stay and relax in a busy city
Pros:

This hotel was the prefect location for us. The room was beautiful. I slept so well here. Tamar at the front desk was super helpful and a joy to talk to each day. We had everything we needed and more. We will be back for sure.

Amazing location, top-notch service
Pros:

This is the second time I’ve stayed at the Shattuck, and it was a great stay once again. The hotel is in the perfect location, within walking distance of everything (restaurants, theater, shops, university) Berkeley has to offer, yet the lobby is peaceful and my room was quiet. Walk out the front door, stroll around the corner, and you are at the Downtown Berkeley BART station, for easy transportation to Oakland, San Francisco, and the airport (SFO).

On top of the location, the Shattuck offers wonderful service. The staff members are all warm and welcoming. Special thanks to Tony at the front desk, for accommodating my early arrival and slotting me into a room with a lovely view of the town.

I look forward to returning to the Shattuck the next time I’m in town.

Very old and mismanaged
Pros:

The rooms on the street side are super noisy, so I ended up switching my room for the first time that i ended up with a room with AC issues they could not fix it so I had to move again and then ended up with the room with plumbing issues and had water leak in my bathroom. Im not recommending this hotel.

The staff was good, but we were disappointed with the room not being as advertised. Not a good value
Pros:

Minor issues with towels, A/C not cooling, ice maker/ chilled water on floor was not functioning and insufficient number of coffee k-cups in the room.

Cons:

Some facilities mentioned above were not in good working order. Room was advertised as a Deluxe King but was a very minimum sized King room without any "deluxe" features. Also, the room was advertised to have a "City View", but the only view is of a rooftop.

Disastrous experience
Pros:

Clean room but loud pipes.
Worst part was the hotel assigned another guest to my room and I was waken up from my sleep at 1:30 am when the other guest open my door before quickly closing it. When asked, the front desk apologized profusely and said he would "make everything alright" for me.
The next morning at check out, the staff Manning the front desk told me there was nothing he could do despite of whatever front desk had previously promised.
What happened overnight was a total disaster for a hotel. The response from the front desk the next morning was an insult.
Was a returning guest. Not anymore.

Pros:

La localisation géographique de l'hôtel, l'accès très simple via BART

Cons:

Elements were stolen in my room, the staff members weren't concerned and didn't do anything about it. They didn't show professionalism and just waited until the end of the stay without providing any solutions.
