I would suggest that the property management consider installing better electrical outlets as my iPhone charger kept slipping down and out of the socket. I reported this to the front desk while I was there as I had trouble keeping my iPhone charged during my stay and had to depend on charging it in my car rental.

We always stay here when visiting relatives in the area. It’s not fancy but is always clean and comfortable with a friendly and helpful staff. It also has easy access to freeways, restaurants, and shopping. Highly recommend.

We’ve stayed there before. Mentioned to the staff. They gave us the same room. Superb. Parking can be a little challenging. But, that’s SO minor - since it’s free, onsite. (Really, not even a negative…)

In the center of Walnut Creek. A very good location for anything in or around the town. Refurbished to good standards - not a luxury hotel but a good basic place to stay. A little noisy from the freeway not too far from the hotel.

With so many good tea and coffee places and bakeries (Model Bakery!), we did not miss having a hotel buffet breakfast that is often subpar. We have a new favorite when visiting our family in the Walnut Creek area.

The Inn itself is nice and the service was good. It’s just right next to a highway. The noise in the room with the windows and door shut wasn’t too bad, but outside it was pretty loud.

Definitely worth the money. I had a family event in Lafayette so it was really close. The only downside was the traffic noise from the highway and from Mt Diablo Blvd, but not a deal breaker by any means.

Due to weather and a late flight we were unable to come the first night. Not only did they say no to a discount or refund. They argued with us for an hour. We were at one hotel at 2 am and were charged 200. The one from hotel.com we were charged full price. He did give us reduced price for next two night that were much better then hotel.com price

Clean and comfy hotel at a great rate. The service was wonderful! One of the guys at the front desk was really helpful, which made me feeling well taken care of. Would definitely stay here again.

Person who checked us in was quick courteous and informative. The check in lobby had a strong stench, I couldn’t wait to finish with check in to leave. The room at check in had a stench that seemed to have been covered up by a fragrance. The room was muggy and needed to be aired out. Floor felt dirty but looked clean. I didn’t want to go barefoot. The bed sheets were not comfortable. The mattress was not comfortable to sleep on. There were 3 flat pillows for 2 people. I woke up with bug bites (hopefully not bedbugs but idk).

Clean room but freeway traffic keeps it noisy at night. Front door could have had better weatherstripping: gaps allow light and noise to enter. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The owner shared her history as manager of the property, ideas for meals nearby. Her son was equally kind and hepgul, as the maid staff. We were happy with the location and the value. I could get up early and wak to coffee and and best bakery ever, Model Bakery

It was a cleaned and comfortable space. The receptionist when we arrived put a bit of pressure for us to be there before 9pm which was weird for us since it’s a hotel. Morning staff was very friendly

The Inn is clean and has big rooms. The highway is so close by that it is really noisy, but between the rooms it is well insulated. Pillows and sheets needs revamp but all the rest was great.

I stayed here for 3 nights while visiting family. Although it is a somewhat dated motel, it was clean, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. Perfectly fine for my purposes although $128 seemed a bit on the higher side considering the overall accommodations. Location is excellent, close to freeways and center of town.

Water pressure and heat are excellent. The bed was comfortable enough. Conveniently located at the freeway entrance. And great restaurants about 10-15 min walking distance. We would recommend that stay.

The staff were outstandingly helpful and friendly, the room was very comfortable, quiet and clean. I particularly like the choice of wall artwork- cool but not aggressively gaudy:). The set-up of the room was really perfect for comfort and ease of use. Friendly with my dogs, which was important. Also, nice, safe, quiet, pleasant and convenient area.

The bed was worn out. They used a strong beach on the bedding that gave me a headache. I usually don’t give bad reviews. I definitely would not stay again.

The room was very nice. I liked the way it was decorated and appreciated all the amenities for the price, such as makeup remover wipes, plenty of coffee, a fridge, microwave, working lamps (I swear I have stayed so many places where the lamps dont work), windows that actually open all the way, multiple trash cans, plenty of towels, a big TV, spacious closet and more. Also, their soaps pump from dispensers so there isn't a bunch of wasted little plastic bottles. I wil definitely book again!

I didn’t like this place at all. Very bad first impression from the front desk. Bad customer service and not only that, you have to fill out all this forms ( is like taking a test) but wait!!! Once you checkout .. they keep you in the office until they make sure that your room is in good condition (basically you can’t leave until they go back to your room )!!! before giving you back your deposit. This is not a place for young people at all never the less for little kids.
- 2/5
Property was decent for an Inn and the price. Walls & ceilings paper thin could hear every footstep from second floor. Toilet seat cover falling apart/peeling. Free parking was a plus. No free breakfast as advertised on Expedia. Very close to highway but way too far from San Francisco if you plan to commute to the city.
- 5/5

We needed a spot in Walnut Creek close to a friend's condo. The Inn is not much to look at from the outside, but the rooms are much better than the exterior appearance. They are all laminate (no gross carpet) and renovated. The bed was super firm (which I like). It's in a very convenient location. There is traffic noise from the highways, but I like white noise, so it was not an issue.

It was a good Motel. It is very close to the Highway, but the noise didn't bother me. The area looked safe. The motel and the room was tidy and clean. There was a fridge and a microwave in the room. We had a good night sleep in there for a decent price, and had breakfast at Black Bear Diner which is just a short drive away.

I liked staying at this Inn. The Staff were friendly and the location is nice. There’s a nice cafe next to it and everything I needed was within a mile or two of where it was.
