Easy, friendly, check in and great location! The rooms have everything you need just being an eye mask if you need the room dark to sleep and the curtains are good but the bathroom set up/location in the room we had allows a lot of light in.

Pretty, safe, and comfortable
This was an incredible stay for me, my husband, and our dog. The hotel is so pretty and charming! It's in the middle of the downtown buzz, and yet it feels safe. I also didn't feel like the noise was too bad, and we slept ok. I LOVED that each floor had a water machine, that's something every hotel should have, as it makes life so much easier. It's always nice to find a cool hotel where we can bring our doggo. We weren't there long, but will definitely be back.

Cool older hotel Shattuck Plaza
A funky hotel with lovely touches from when it was first built. Often the showers are fine, but this time the bathtub was very narrow and there wasn't much pressure. I did love the view from the higher floor thought, so worth the trade off.

Good location but terrible customer service
The hotel is conveniently located near the university campus and has multiple cafe and restaurants closeby. The service was terrible right from reception staff to valet to bellman.

What a cool hotel with a huge amount of charm and character! The location is fantastic for walking and access to dining and drinking options. The staff was very helpful, the bar drinks fantastic, and we loved the rooms! What a great hotel! Of course the neighborhood is on the edge of being a bit rough.
