What guests think

Across many reviews of Residence Inn Walnut Creek, guests praise friendly, helpful staff and apartment-style suites with spacious layouts and kitchens, while noting the convenient, walkable location near BART and downtown for dining and shopping.

A frequent downside is valet-only parking with daily fees, and some rooms experience noise from BART, street activity, or thin walls. Cleanliness is often praised, but multiple reviews cite lapses such as stained sofa beds, hair in bathrooms, ants, missing toiletries, or maintenance glitches like weak water pressure and nonworking outlets or appliances. Breakfast is generally well liked though a few found it limited, and overall the property suits travelers seeking roomy suites and a central base, provided parking costs and potential noise are acceptable.

This is a beautiful, clean and very well maintained property. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The exercise room is top-notch and has excellent equipment. The room was clean, well stocked, spacious. The included breakfast was excellent—lots of great choices. The only drawback is that there is not much in terms of walkably-close places to eat. Otherwise, this is a terrific place to stay—BART station just across the street.

They get you on the parking! They have valet parking for $35/day! That’s very expensive! The other option is street parking and things aren’t really that safe in the Bay Area anymore so I felt that the hotel was taking undue advantage of the situation by charging its patrons. I had stuff in my car as I was moving in my kid to their college apartment so I had to relent to this atrocious charge to park my car in the hotel’s parking structure. Marriott does that in their other hotel in Walnut Creek, CA as well. Such a shame!

I chose this Residence Inn for my Stay-Cation so I could enjoy all the comforts of home, without the daily chores, in a quiet and restful environment, and that’s exactly what I got. I chose the Studio Suite with the Queen bed. Upon check-in my room was impeccably clean, well-stocked with paper goods, towels, bedding, and cookware, plus a full size refrigerator and freezer, as I enjoy making my meals from scratch. The valet staff was wonderful, quick, and accommodating with my vehicle, and all of my luggage both arriving and leaving, and the staff at the front desk were so kind; professional, personable, and friendly. This Inn is a winner in my book, I will definitely come back here for my annual “retreat” for myself, and I highly recommend it to everyone who embraces the qualities I described above.

The first room I got had an unclean toilet. It had a lot of hair. So I went down to the front desk and I showed him the pictures. He seemed like he didn’t believe what I was saying. He gave me another room. It looked a bit better but the windows were dirty, no hair in toilet or sink. Unfortunately, once I got into the shower, I saw hairs. It was too late in the evening, and I was exhausted. I tried to talk to the front desk the next morning but the attendant said that she can’t do anything about it. I think I was dismissed and not being taken seriously. I have the pictures. This is 2 star motel experience not a Marriott.

We had a nice stay at the Residence Inn and would stay here again. The room was a decent size and had everything you needed in the kitchen, which made it very convenient and comfortable. This is ideal for longer stays. However, we did notice several ants in the bathroom and a few other areas of the room. By the time we saw them, it was already late, so we didn’t get a chance to call the staff. As for breakfast, the selection was quite limited and could be improved to offer more variety and better quality.

Overall the hotel was ok. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. That was tough to endure for our 3 night stay. But we asked for extra pillows and it seem to help a little bit. The showerhead was a little abusive. Lol there was no option to change the setting. Other than the 2 complaints, hotel is in a great location & close to everything you need. The bart was about a 5 minute walk.

The dogs on our floor barked throughout the night and because our room was located overlooking the outside seating area between the buildings, the people who stayed out there until 3am kept us awake with their talking and laughing loudly. It was very unfortunate.

The property is really pretty, and the rooms extremely spacious. However the internet is terrible, trying to watch anything via their television is almost impossible with the constant buffering. The breakfast was great, but you HAVE to use the valet which is super annoying. Extremely walkable area though. Water pressure in the bathroom was extreme and the shower set up is terrible, water gets everywhere. But the cost, coupled with the walkability, large rooms and free breakfast was worth it

Then, I had to scramble during my meeting to try to find another hotel. I got this reservation with several weeks in advance. So very unprofessional. Not very happy. They didn’t even say sorry for the inconvenience and compensation for the trouble.

At 2:30 in the morning the couple in the room above us woke us yelling and screaming and throwing things against the wall. We called the night manager 4 times and each time he told us that he knocked on there door but no one answered. He said he also called them but they did not answer. This went on for 45 minutes. My husband and I had to get dressed and go up to the room and make sure no one had been hurt. They opened the door as soon as we knocked and they said the stop fighting and go to sleep. We went back to our room and they started up again. We called. The night manager and told him He Must do something! Finally, he called the police and within 15 minutes the police were there and handled the situation. What a nightmare. The next morning the couple vacated the property.

The hotel is fairly new and in a great, central location. However, we were supposed to have our room serviced every other day. We were there for 4 nights and not once did housekeeping come in and clean the room. We even asked housekeeping when we left our room to please clean the room and no one ever showed up. Very disappointing. The breakfast that was included with the room was very poor quality food and we were not even able to eat it.
