Residence Inn Walnut Creek

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.

I always pick this hotel while traveling. It has everything you need with friendly staff answering (and sometimes exceededing) any questions you ask. The room is huge, well equipped with anything and the bed is a dream to sleep in.

Breakfast was great! The attendant that was working, noticed I was looking for something, and he asked me what i was looking for, told him "bread" to make toast. He went out of his way to make me toast.

Nice staff. Large room with storage. Good shower. Vanity area. Included decent breakfast. Quiet atmosphere.

Very comfortable, clean
