“Won me over”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011

I was here for four nights and I did not have a good experience starting out. They moved me twice because the first two rooms were not cleaned. I will chalk this up to my 1:30p check-in on a Sunday as they were surely completely booked Saturday. The management was very nice and apologetic and finally found me a suitable room. Anyways, the third room was finally up to par. It is a fairly standard hotel room and the bed was okay. My room was missing a remote control but they went out of their way to purchase a universal remote for my room so that I would not be without. Having a refrigerator in the room was a plus! Not having an iron or ironing board in the room was a let down but the management team lent me one to take care of my work clothes. The towels as someone else has mentioned are terrible. All in all, though it started out rough, I had a decent experience here and would recommend it to anyone on a tight budget. The room is average but the customer service is fantastic. If not for the management team, I would not have been as forgiving in this review.

Dear Lost In C,

Thanks so much for taking the time to post some comments. We review and value these tremendously.

As noted below, with the exception of a short time while I was in the hospital, we have fortunately had great success with customer service. Thanks so much for the affirmation and encouragement.

We are changing our entire towel inventory gradually to newer, higher quality linens. It will take some time, but be assured we are working on it.

With our recent furniture and TV upgrades, we're still working through some remote control kinks. Thanks again for your paitence.

We hope to see you again soon. We sincerley appreciate the business and support!

“OK for the money but not for more than one night”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

It is conveniently located very close to the interstate, shopping, and restaurants. We stayed for three nights as a base for going to theme parks. One night would have been ok. A couple of things we did not like: the quality of the towels is the poorest I have seen - even for a motel. The b'fast is best skipped. The coffee is tasteless. We ended up going out for b'fast all three mornings. The strong smell of curry in the b'fast room/check-in is a real turnoff. By the second days we could also smell it in our room. We would not stay again.

Dear Bondgoldfinger,

Thanks for your honest feedback. We sincerely appreciate it. We are actually in the process now of reviewing our towel supplier agreement so we can upgrade the quality of the linens. We agree this needs to improve and apologize for the inconvenience.

We continuously look to change items in our breakfast and recently added the hot waffles and boiled eggs. We will certainly keep looking for ways to improve.

Thanks again for giving us a chance. We hope you'll be back again soon!

Sincerely,

Frank Desai

“A Great Place for the Money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed in Days Inn Pinole in middle August for a week while visiting Berkeley and SF. A good place to stay for the money. Of course, this is not a fancy 5 star hotel that charges you hundreds of dollar a night. But the room was clean, bed was comfortable, and staff was helpful , indeed, they were very helpful!

Before booking the room, I read all the reviews and was somewhat worried about security in the neighborhood. But that was unnecessary. We did not see any suspicious activities or person. In fact, we felt very safe.

The hotel is right by the Highway, make in and out easy. There are quite a few good restaurants nearby. If you like shopping, this is a good place to stay. It seems everywhere you turn, there is a shopping mall.

If anything, the coffee provided was rather very weak. I am not a coffee drinker. So it did not bother me. And again, this is not Starbucks neither.

A great place for the price conscious consumers.

Hello JZ,

Thanks so much for the feedback. It's been fun this year meeting so many people from around the world touring SF, Berkeley and Napa. We're lucky to be in the center of it all, and hope you will visit us again soon.

We appreciate the feedback on the coffee. We'll try another brand as well.

We are just completing a major renovation, with new TVs, furniture, curtains, etc. Please stop by the next time you're in the Bay Area. Cheers!

There are bed bugs. We got bitten all over our bodies. Also, the floor and towels were filthy. I highly recommend looking for another hotel.

“Convenient.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2011

people found this review helpful

I was passing through the town and was originally sleeping in my vehicle when I decided to stay a night. It has everything you'd expect and need. It's located by quite a few shopping centers, grocery stores and gas stations.

The cons would be the drug activity/traffic and the resulting commotion from first responders. Be sure to keep locked anything that uses locks. This place gets a lot of weirdos literally popping out of bushes and shadows at wee hours of the night.

Hi DromosMania,

We just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your comments. We try very hard to serve our guest and provide the best service possible. As noted, we are located in a commercial area, so we are particularly diligent with regard to safety and security. To date, we have the lowest Crime Record in town, and we're working hard to keep it that way.

Thanks again for your feedback. We hope you'll visit us again soon.

Sincerely,

Frank Desai
