Good

  : Location was very convenient to downtown facilities. The staff was friendly.
  : The housekeeping services were subpar. On one of the days of my stay, no one came to attend to my room. I didn’t get new towels etc. The room was not cleaned.

  : I stayed at the Residence Inn in Walnut Creek, CA when my home was under construction. Let me spare pet owners (specifically, cat owners) the misery of searching endless hours on Airbnb, VRBO, Craigslist, pet-friendly hotel search sites, and the like. NO ONE accommodates cats! Thank you, Residence Inn, for happily accommodating my feline friend!The all-suite accommodations are brilliantly designed: kitchen, living area (TV with Free HBO, Netflix access), workstation, basic internet (you can upgrade for $6.95/day), bedroom, plenty of closet space, full bath. Kitchen is well equipped (although water pressure in sink is abysmal, likely a water conservation effort), bath includes shampoo/conditioner and shower gel (no lotion or illuminated makeup/shaving mirror). Water pressure in shower is great. Bed is comfortable, and for cat owners, you may appreciate the platform that prevents kitty from spending her stay under the bed, genius! Property offers pool, workout equipment and hot breakfast buffet daily. All staff are attentive, friendly, and helpful. Valet is busy so provide them the requested time to retrieve your car. Parking is pricy at $30.00/day (with unlimited in and out privileges). Location is convenient, but noisy, as the property is between N. California (4 lane) Blvd. and Main Street. The Bart train runs above N. California Blvd. Probably best to request an internal (courtyard view), upper-level room if you want to minimize sound. I travel with earplugs, so the sound of the street facing room was not a problem. The natural light was great even though I had a NE facing room. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay. I highly recommend to pet owners and non-pet owners alike.

  : No self-parking available on site. The property is located right along the BART transit line. And the area is not walking-friendly, It is not a senior friendly area for walking around.
