For the price, it was reasonable.
Pros:

First, the staff is truly wonderful. Caring, kind, helpful and personable. Very refreshing to see this as it is infrequent these days. I can’t fault any of them. They really were the stars of this stay.

Breakfast was also good and consistent each day with a lot of choices.

The room was very large and had a nice bed, good lighting and chairs.

Cons:

The owner or franchisee needs to make a visit. The lobby elevator worked sporadically for the first couple of days and then was finally placed out of order for the next two. The coffee machines in the lobby also worked sporadically. Same with the toaster in the food area and it looked like it should be trashed. The exterior of the building has large amounts ofpeeling paint around the soffits. The bathroom door in my room was rotted on the inside obviously from bath water.

It was a nice and comfortable stay.
Pros:

That there was a food place nearby and I could easily grab a bite. I was also able to order uber eats to the hotel to make things easier for my family and I to eat dinner.

Cons:

I was pretty much satisfied with everything but the breakfast could've been a little better but it's just a personal preference. They served pancakes but I enjoy waffles more.

Clean and welcoming place to stay in Walnut Creek.
Pros:

Room was clean and well organized; everything worked. Nice lobby and outdoor area, decent free breakfast. Coffee and tea available 24/7.

Cons:

Far from downtown, though convenient to freeways. The hot tub was not hot enough to be a true hot tub. Breakfast could have offered higher quality breads.
