Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had pleasant, bright rooms with clean white sheets, comfortable for our family, although there were too many bright lights that couldn't be turned off. The rooms offered many outlets, USB plugs, a wide desk for work, and ample space.
The hotel had a convenient location, close to dining options and amenities. The rooms were small but well laid out. The service was efficient, offering various helpful services, though there were occasional negatives with the staff. The dining experience was enjoyable with a good variety of options. The hotel facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and clean, equipped with a mini-refrigerator and coffee maker, but the noise from the freeway was extremely disruptive at 01:30. The hotel's location in Walnut Creek was a bit far from the central area, making it less convenient.
