Pros. Nothing. Will never go back. Been there three separate occasions and this was by far the worst one.

Cons. Evening staff was terrible. Horrific customer service. Blinds didn’t operate in the room.

Pros. To be fair I'm a Marriott person and the Walnut Creek Marriott was full. This hotel isn't bad at all, it's just not the Marriott! ; ). Clean and kept, just if you are a light sleeper, make sure you don't get a room facing the freeway.

Pros. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were very patient with us sorting out the various family names, who got what rooms that multiple bookings thru hotels.com caused.

Cons. Key card glitches. Seemed like every time we left our rooms someone's key cards weren't working when we returned. Also, rooms could use a little updating, starting to look a little worn.
