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.

Not for me
Pros:

Front desk staff were great and there was one good waitress. But if you want long wait times for someone to come and take your table order for breakfast, an uncomfortable bed in a cold room with a leaky shower, then this is the hotel for you.

Hotel Shattuck-great find
Pros:

Our stay at Hotel Shattuck turned a family visit into something special. Being able to bring our pup along changed everything, especially since she was warmly welcomed at the Charming bar and restaurant. The staff made us feel cared for at every turn. Our room was a peaceful retreat, both cozy and quiet. I would happily return.

Really, really, lovely
Pros:

We stayed here for one night in the Shuttuck suite. The suite had a separate bedroom with a bathroom in the bedroom, and another half bath in the living area. Sofa bed for our kid (pre-made up!). Wonderfully clean, classy, and relaxing. Great breakfast in the restaurant, and a nice bar area. Staff all-around great! BART entrance right next to the hotel, and a Target right across the street. Management clearly pays attention to the details, with everything in working order, added touches, contributing to a wonderful stay. Highly recommend!

I love this place!
Pros:

Location, Location, Location! Too convenient not to stay here. Plus the best, friendly, professional staff from curb-side to front desk and room service. Plus a beautiful, destination dining room, Zino, that is also one of the few (only?) places open for early breakfast.

It was a nice hotel with a great staff. Right near the BART.
Pros:

It was very nice. Big room too. Location was near Bart.

Cons:

The bathroom door is a sliding door that doesn’t close all the way. It has a frosted door, which in the middle of the night lights up the room when your partner uses bathroom it at 3am maybe. Use your cell phone light, so you don’t wake up other person.
