Hotel Shattuck Plaza

8/10 Good

HYATT house Emeryville/San Francisco Bay Area

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean hotel. The breakfast was great! The staff was very helpful. You could buy drinks, snacks, even microwavable meals in the lobby 24 hours a day. We enjoyed our stay. We had a great view of the Bay Bridge. Were hoping to see Golden Gate, too, but it was hidden behind the Hilton Garden Inn. Hyatt Place, 2 blocks south has view of both bridges, but the hotel is not as nice and it was more expensive."

"Space was clean with a comfortable bed. Had the basic things. Appreciated the secure parking. Check In was a breeze. Overall just a really nice basic hotel room."

Berkeley City Club
