Hotels near Essig Museum of Entomology

"Shattuck Plaza Hotel in Berkeley was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at in my entire living life. We were offered a 25% promotional discount for a two nights day. The offer was not honoured because we were not staying for two consecutive nights. The promotional email nowhere stipulated that two consecutive nights were required. The bedside lamp didn’t work the in room safe didn’t work. The showerhead didn’t work. The coffee maker didn’t work. The room was freezing. The thermostat was impossible to adjust. It was in a hard to reach dark space. Front desk person Derick obviously had no authority to resolve issues and should not have been interacting with guests. He did no more than a programmable parrot could’ve done. Do not stay at this hotel. It is a terrible experience."

"Great hotel."

"We stayed because we went to a concert right across the street at the UC Theatre. That was a big plus because we didn't have to drive anywhere. Lots of restaurants around there and some smoke shops. Can't say anything about parking because we got dropped off. I will say the first room we were given hadn't been cleaned so it was a bit gross to see unmade beds and dirty towels. They did immediately put us in another room that was clean. We paid extra to have a private bathroom, and we were quite pleased with the size and cleanliness."
