Categories

Cleanliness
4.5
Multiple reviews mention dirty common areas and bathrooms (dirty hallway carpet, brown residue in toilets), occasional roaches and generally not well maintained.
Service
7.8
Mixed reports: several guests described staff as unfriendly or disrespectful at check-in, but others noted helpful/pleasant staff and an active security guard; overall service is inconsistent but there are positive interactions.
Location
8
Convenient location (near highway, close to town and Walnut Creek Amphitheater) and well-lit parking; however several guests felt the surrounding area was unsafe with loitering and drug activity.
Room Quality
6.8
Rooms had strengths (comfortable bed, working A/C) but also issues (doors/locks not secure for some rooms, TV volume problems, toilets not flushing properly, occasional odors and missing toiletries).
Amenities
5
Essential in-room amenities (A/C) present, but advertised amenities were missing (no fitness center), and breakfast offering was minimal; overall limited amenities for the price.
Value for Money
7
Guests noted this is a budget property and some felt the price matched expectations for a roof-over-head option; others felt misled by missing advertised amenities.
Food and Beverage
3.5
Consistently poor continental breakfast reported (very limited items, no toaster, low quality) and restrictions on taking items to rooms.
Overall Experience
7.8
Overall mixed but lean acceptable for budget emergency stays: some guests appreciated location, locked entry and a comfortable bed, while many cited cleanliness, safety and service problems that made the stay unpleasant.

Pros:

Nothing. In a bad part of town. Owners were rude. No welcome at all. Breakfast had bread but no toaster🤦. Carpets were dirty, walls stained.
A poor property all round.

DON'T DO IT!!
Pros:

I didn't like a single thing about this place. It was terrible

Cons:

🚩🚩🚩 Drug dealers and prostitution in the parking lot. The room was dirty. The sheets didn't look changed. The walls and curtains have never been cleaned. The hallway to the rooms is absolutely disgusting. There was a transient sleeping in the parking lot. An ambulance picked up someone that overdosed. Unless you are a heroin/fentanyl addict or are looking for a lady of the night, this is not the place.

Good hotel with poor food service and ridiculous policies
Pros:

Clean, attractive, comfortable

Cons:

Horrible continental breakfast ..one boxes cerealand slices of white bread ..no toaster, no donuts, croissant. Cream cheese yet no bagels
Hotel policy ..no visitors in room. Ridiculous! It's a hotel not a college dormitory. And not told this at booking but upon arrival. And I had already paid for my stay
