8.0 out of 10, Very Good, (1)
"The host is very friendly and accessible. The location is great. Nice neighborhood. Conveniently close to grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, bars, a theater and nice weekend farmers market. To access the unit you have to go up a tiny steep street that most Ubers won’t drive up. The unit itself is one level but there are a lot of stairs to get to the entrance.

"Older hotel with excellent staff. Next to Unit 1 Residence Hall and convenient to UC Berkeley which were my main reasons for staying here. Elevators are a little slow. Had a room with 2 double beds which was fine. Bathroom was small, without a ventilation fan so heat and moisture remain trapped in the room.

"We often stay at the Shattuck Plaza and we like the architecture and history. The room was very hot this time due to the weather outside and the air conditioning units in both sections of the suite did not work. The maintenance crew decided the units were dead. Our options were to move into a smaller room and stick it out with fans, but we ended up with an uncomfortable stay."
