“Great location and service. Well maintained but old motel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This is a short walk to the shops and restaurants downtown and right off the freeway. Very helpful service from Chance getting us into a room with our canine traveling companion. Clean and well maintained but cant hide the fact that its a 1950s era motel. Outside is maily just a big parking lot with a fenced pool in the middle with about 3 ft of decking around it. Price is reflective of all this, however.

Room Tip: Call proved cheaper than online booking

“Clean but the noise will ruin your night”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2011

person found this review helpful

A good motel for value, IF you don't plan to sleep! The proximity to I-680 freeway destroys any sense of calm! I heard every truck rolling by like it was in the room. No fault of the owners, nothing they can do but move the whole motel. Too bad, nice staff.

“Very Good and Friendly Innkeepers”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2011

The lobby is warm and welcoming. When I went to room, it was unique. Bed was comfortable. there was little bit traffic from the highway, but was manageable. The location was convenient from the highway, and there are many restaurants nearby. I will recommend this nice motel to anybody.

“A little disappointed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2010

I booked this motel after reading reviews on TripAdvisor and because I like to stay in more "boutique" properties. I also liked the fact that one can easily walk to downtown Walnut Creek for dining and shopping. I was surprised at the high volume of freeway noise, especially since it sits below the freeway and noise usually rises. A couple of rooms I saw looked tired but ours was fine. It was clean with a comfortable bed. The lighting was poor--there were only 2 lights in the room. The room had a desk with no light so it was useless. It was nice they provided a refrigerator and microwave. The breakfast was fresh and adequate. I expected to enjoy the place more than I did.
