staff recommended hotels
Two hotels below that we have personal experience with. One you will
want to consider if you have a need some special occasion to celebrate, and the other
when you want a place to stay on the cheap, and all that is called for is a clean space and a warm bed.
Shattuck Plaza Hotel
Our staff's favorite hotel recommendation!
A wonderful ambiance in this luxurious hotel with close proximity to the Downtown Theater District!
The lounge located in front and in part with the Restaurant 5 and the lobby. A gathering
with friends in the Modern American Bistro & Bar Breakfast, with a Lunch, Dinner
Bar Menu. Executive Chef Scott Howard creates magic, and the historic
dining room is a perfect setting for special dining!

only 20 minutes from downtown San Francisco. Located 4 blocks from UC Berkeley, Lawrence Livermore Lab.
