Fine if you’re in the area for whatever reason.
Pros:

Decent bed; clean, big room; easy to turn off the loud fridge;

Cons:

The shower is terrible. I get that there’s a water shortage but this is like showering with a teaspoon.
The room has bright lights everywhere. Every wall has multiple light switches and each has a bright nightlight. The appliances have lights; the door leaks a lot of light in from the hallway. Bring black electrical tape and a binder clip for the curtain, and you’ve got a fighting chance.

The rooms, shower, bed and valet parking were good, but the breakfast was disappointing
Pros:

The hotel rooms were clean and comfortable. The shower was good, the bed was comfortable, and the valet parking was well arranged.

However, we were quite disappointed with a few things during our stay. The breakfast was not good. Everything was served on cardboard plates and in cardboard cups, which felt very cheap for a hotel. The variety was also quite limited, and the eggs seemed to come from some kind of premix, which did not taste good at all.


Overall, the room itself was good, but the service, breakfast, and luggage assistance were disappointing. This really affected our experience.

Cons:

Another issue was the lack of luggage trolleys. We arrived in the evening with quite a lot of luggage and asked several times for a trolley to bring our bags upstairs. Unfortunately, none were available. In the end, we had to carry all our suitcases to the room one by one. Later, we found out that the trolleys were apparently being kept inside guest rooms, which should not happen. Hotel staff should actively manage this.

The staff also came across as rather lazy and did not really take action. The next day, when we were leaving, we again asked for a luggage trolley and had to wait around 20 minutes. Eventually, someone brought a small hand truck, which is not really suitable for a hotel. In the end, I decided to carry all the luggage down to the car myself.

Worked for us!
Pros:

Location: 5 minute walk to BART and downtown Walnut Creek. Breakfast has a good selection and good quality.
Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

We had a room with a door to an adjoining room. While it was solidly locked, it let noise in from next door. And of course next door was a 2 year old who yelled, laughed, and talked very loudly. We finally had to knock on their door and ask them to not have loud playtime in the room every evening (e.g., dad monster and screaming child games).

Pros:

The staff was awesome!! Really great and made my family and I feel very comfortable from the moment we arrived. From the valet to the front desk, the cleaning service and the breakfast staff. You that breakfast was amazing! Like seriously caught me off guard. The waffle i had was huge!! Felt so guilty for finishing it lol. Will for sure return. The location was so good. 20 minutes to Oakland, 40 minutes to Marin, and like 25 minutes to Berkeley. Overall 20 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cons:

2 things I did not like. First thing that I did not like was that I could not tip the valet service upon check out. Second thing was that the room was really stuffy. Wish there was a little more ventilation. Even with the AC on it was stuffy
