Great hotel and location. Your staff clearly hates their jobs though.

4/5 - Good

Great Town but this property is away from the shopping area and in a business park. BART train is across the street but beware you hear the swoosh of the trains.

We are originally from the Walnut Creek area and travel back there a few times each year.
