Room was quiet, very clean, bathroom was clean. The continental breakfast was is better than hotel I've been to. The staff was very friendly and courteous. I live in Pasadena and when I come up to the Walnut Creek area, this is my preferred hotel. Thank you.

Last time that I went there wasn’t a pleasant experience, but this time the staff was super professional and friendly. The lounge was decorated nicely with a valentines theme. They even had cookies and popcorn for the guest! The room had all of the accessibility features and my mother was comfortable. Minus one rude guest on the elevator it was definitely a 180! My only request is to have enough towels in the room for two guest if you book for two guest. I was able to quickly rectify that issue and got towels instantly.

I stayed with my spouse, child, and dog in the only available dog-friendly room there was- on the first floor, next to the ice machine. Like any other dogs, when a dog hears someone nearby, they bark, and since the ice machine was so close to the room, it made my dog jumpy. If that's not enough, a guest who checked in later that night on the upper floor was walking in their room, and the floorboards were squeaking so severely that it was impossible to rest. Luckily, they went to sleep shortly after, and the squeaking stopped. The Carpet was worn out and had bumps in it, and my dog was restless, probably due to the strong past dog odor in the room.

Room was comfortable and clean, and area around hotel safe with dining options. Hotel lobby, hallway and room smelled strongly of weed. Thin walls and noisy neighbors made for difficulty sleeping well.

Stay Elsewhere!

Mattresses were in terrible condition and should have been replaced a couple of years ago. The room had a strong unpleasant odor. The toilet only flushed intermittently.

This place is awful! The staff is super nice, but that’s about the only thing this place has going for it. The first room I checked in for had poop on the toilet rim and smelled so strongly of urine that I had to be moved. The next room had a musty ash tray smell that was bearable with the window open. Everything looked clean but it was so dingy and

Comfortable

We've stayed at John Muir hotel in Martinez before and noticed they have done some nice upgrades to the bathroom. We always feel comfortable there and it suits our needs. Unfortunately the elevator wasn't working and we had to carry our luggage upstairs. Thank goodness it was only one floors. The staff is very friendly and it's a good location, close to a shopping plaza.
