HOTEL SHATTUCK PLAZA
Very comfortable hotel with very spacious, bright and luxurious rooms
A beautiful, well-located establishment offering great comfort and reasonable rates for the services offered and the standing of the building. Rooms are spacious, bright and luxurious. Housed in a historic building dating back to 1910, the hotel was recently renovated in the spirit of Berkeley, using energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly materials. The choice is yours: views of San Francisco Bay or the surrounding hills. The restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine.

Mix of Good and Bad:
~: There's a fridge! Great. But it's weirdly lit up, so you have to decide for a bright nightlight of a fridge or not cooling your stuff.
~: There's a gym, but it's super tiny. The machines (1 rower, 1 treadmill, 1 elliptical, and 1 bike) are all in good condition and there are free weights, but it's the size of one small hotel room, so hope no one else is in there. Also not good air circulation.
Negatives:
-: Nearby overnight parking is insanely expensive.
-: There was a weird on-and-off buzz in our room that the engineering team wasn't able to get rid of. We were offered another room, but had already unpacked, so we just dealt with it.
-: The hotel is pet-friendly, and someone's wet dog left the elevator smelling not-so-fresh.
Personnel was very helpfull and friendly.
My room was nice.
Unfortunately I can't say the same about Zino the hotel restaurant.
The explanation provided by the hotel that "this is a fault of a third party" are very far from true as I made the booking in a service where the hotel is responsible for the invoice. I also informed the hotel about the required invoice one week before the arrival - this all can be seen in the reservation description. I do not know how companies in the US do their "tax optimization" but provisioning services without invoice nor receipt is not something I could recommend anyone to participate in.
