Hotels near Orinda Theater

"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."

"My clothes and suits got wet due to a leak in the ceiling from the AC unit’s access panel."

"LOCATION - 5 Stars - Great, especially if visiting UC Berkeley; next to restaurants and shops and steps away from the University STAFF - 2 Stars - There were only 2 or 3 young girls at the front desk that we met during our 3 day stay. All of them looked unhappy at their job and seemed a better fit at a Thrift Store. CLEANLINESS - 3 Stars - much to be desired, specifically in the bathroom. Let's just say I was not about to use the bathtub. Throughout the room and bathroom, it looked like a deep clean was much needed. RESTAURANT - 4 Stars - Nothing spectacular, my salad was not fresh, but prices were reasonable and the service was fast. OTHER - 3 Stars - There was a very strong smell in the lobby, which I could not say what it was - candle or something else. While the decor in the lobby was interesting and inviting, it seemed that students and random people could just come in, buy a coffee and sit there using their computers. The room was a good size (we had the corner Campenile view) however, it did not feel clean, there was no pen, not even a single piece of paper to write a note. The Front Desk lobby area did not have any interesting materials on the area, what to do or see and I was not about to ask the front desk ladies, they did not inspire much confidence. There was no concierge either. Overall good location, but not even a 4 Star hotel."
