    My legs bitten with flea bites.

    Less than one star if I could. We were eaten alive by fleas, the next morning I woke up with a rash on my legs! When we spoke to management we were told we weren't wanted here and even though we had a reservation for another night, we would not be receiving a refund and that my legs were just like that. This place needs to be shut down by the health department. It's disgusting. We won't be back and I will continue to help them because the photos we have are endless. Don't stay! Stay away!!!!!!

    Extremely bad experience. Uncomfortable bed broken elevator Broken plumbing Frayed carpet. Frozen breakfast Mismatch worn out furnishings Staff at desk failed to wear mask despite California Mandatory Mask Mandate Refused refund for days we pre-paid when we canceled the remaining days because the room and hotel was uninhabitable

    WE booked this hotel on 5/6-5/7/22 for a local date night. We booked through Travelocity. Per our request, they accommodated an early check in at noon. We checked in by about 12:30pm. Upon walking down the hallway to our room, we were displeased to find a fire extinguisher glass case had been busted, and there were shards of broken glass all over the floor a few feet from our room entrance. Outside of our window, there were two homeless individuals with a dog, looking in our window. Once getting settled in our room after a few minutes, a huge moth, about 2 inches long, flew out from behind the curtain! My husband killed it, and we thought that it was creepy, but figured we could look past one moth getting into the room. We got some lunch door-dashed to the room, and by 3pm, we saw TWO MORE MOTHS fly out from behind the curtain!! At that point, I was really grossed out, and could not imagine what would be flying around our room once we turned the lights off to sleep later that night. By 3:30pm, we decided to check out. We went down to the lobby and spoke with Nelson at the front desk to express our concerns. We also told him that would could not stay here due to the pest problem. He stated that the manager who could determine whether or not we got a refund was not there at the time, but offered to call him. After he had a conversation on the phone with the manager, "Ed", he told us that the manager stated he wanted to speak to us to "apologize" later and that they would refund the room. Nelson stated that he was not authorized to do this and that ED would take care o fit later. He assured me that Ed would call me back in the next 60-90 minutes. Ed never called me back to apologize or address the refund. I called the hotel at about 7pm, at which time, Nelson answered and stated that Ed was gone for the weekend and would be returning on Monday to "make a determination on the refund." This was highly frustrating for two reasons. First, we has already verbally been promised a refund. Second, the manager did not feel that guests of his hotel were important enough for follow up, but instead was eager to get started on his weekend. I received a call around noon on Monday, 3 days after our bad experience at the hotel. The caller identified himself as "Ed", the hotel manager. He apologized, but didn't sound like he meant it, as he made excuses for everything, including the following... "We can't help it if someone vandalized our fire extinguisher" "We can't help it if a couple of moths fly into the rooms" "What do you expect from a room priced around $100 a night?" He then stated that he would not be providing a refund, as "the room looked used" according to housekeeping. Of course it looked "used". We had already unpacked and had lunch as we has planned on staying the night there until the attack of the locust started happening. We would have stayed if it were not for the bugs. It was absolutely disgusting. Not to mention, there were holes in the carpet and stains on the window valance which resembled blood. Ed said that he was sorry to hear about my "opinion" of the place. I explained that it was not my "opinion" that there were bugs, it was a fact. It was not my opinion that there was broken glass in the hallway, it was a fact. It was not my opinion that there were holes in the carpet, it was a fact. I then proceeded to explain that I would never again utilize this hotel, including for work parties and meetings (my employer has used this hotel before for banquets). I also told him that I would be spreading the word on all review sites to let others know how they run their business. He then stated that I was "blackmailing" him into refunding my money. I explained that it is not blackmailing, as he already denied my refund. I was simply telling others about my experience, which I am entitled to do, in hopes that others may avoid this nightmare of a hotel. If you value cleanliness, customer services, and a pest-free environment, steer clear of this establishment.

    I am giving this hotel four stars for consistent good service. Every person I interacted with, housekeeping, front desk and maintenance ...all efficient, helpful and nice.. Every time! Not just with me, but with anyone they were with So thanks to the staff at Clarion keep up the good work!

    Sure with a nasty spot on the right side

    See all

    Our stay didn't quite go as planned, but I still wanted to leave a review because great customer…read moreservice deserves to be recognized. We checked in after a fun day at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, and everything was smooth and welcoming. After heading out for dinner, a widespread power outage hit the area. Unfortunately, the hotel was affected as well. We waited for a couple of hours hoping the power would come back on, but eventually decided to check out. The outage itself wasn't anyone's fault, and that's not why I'm writing this review. What stood out to me was how the hotel staff handled an unexpected situation that was completely beyond their control. A special thank you to Maddie (or Madelyn) at the front desk. She was juggling what I'm sure was a very stressful evening, yet she remained patient, professional, and genuinely kind to everyone she helped. It's easy to provide good service when everything is going smoothly--it's much harder when things go wrong. She handled it with grace, and it did not go unnoticed. Thank you to Maddie and the rest of the team for doing your best under difficult circumstances. Wishing you all much calmer days ahead!

There are only four short-term loading spaces directly in front of the hotel, all marked as 10-minute tow-away spaces. All four were occupied when I arrived. I waited more than 20 minutes, and not one vehicle moved. Several hours later, three of the same vehicles were still parked there. The regular gated parking is much farther from the entrance. I was arriving alone with luggage, so I called the hotel to ask whether anyone could assist me with a luggage cart. I was on hold for nearly 10 minutes before reaching the front desk. I was told that luggage assistance was not available. Even more concerning, the front desk employee told me I could park in the clearly posted red-zone fire lane. I was not comfortable doing that. I ultimately had to call my husband to come outside and help me. The next morning, I again saw multiple vehicles parked in the fire lane. Because this appeared to be an ongoing issue, I later reported it to the local fire inspector. The room itself had reasonably updated finishes, so I would not call the entire room dated. But the HVAC unit was ancient. When we first entered the room around 1 PM, it was approximately 80 degrees inside with the AC off. We immediately turned it on and closed the blinds. After running for most of the day, the room was still around 71 degrees late that evening even though it was only in the low 60s outside. It eventually reached 70. I documented the thermostat showing 70 degrees with the system on COOL and the fan on HIGH. The bathroom was also extremely cramped, especially the shower. I was surprised to learn from the front desk that the Executive Lounge has apparently been closed since before COVID. The printed information provided at check-in also stated that housekeeping is only provided every fourth day, and that same-day service must be requested by 1 PM and is "refresh only." That did not affect our one-night stay, but it certainly would have mattered on a longer stay. The overall atmosphere felt badly understaffed and stripped-down for a full Hilton-branded property. The amenities felt limited, and even at the rate we paid, I did not feel the stay represented good value. I raised the issues with Hilton Guest Assistance afterward. Hilton ultimately provided service recovery, which I appreciated, but getting there required repeated follow-up. I never received direct contact from hotel management, and the hotel's initial response contained factual discrepancies that I had to correct through Hilton. I want to be fair that the employee I dealt with was not personally unpleasant, and the room finishes themselves were generally updated. My complaint is with the overall operation, staffing, maintenance, amenities, and management response. Based on this experience, I would not stay here again.

    When it comes to hotels, there are three things that I prioritize - cleanliness, comfort, and…read moresafety. Overall, Homewood Suites did very well with this piece. When I first walked in the room, I could immediately smell that it had been cleaned yet it did not give off any chemical smell - I am very sensitive to chemical odors and can get headaches from them. The sheets, linens, shower, and surfaces all appeared very clean. The only minus, which is why I took away a star, was some of the utensils in my kitchen area had very visible food remnants on them and one of the knives had a large thumbprint, so I made sure to take utensils from the breakfast area instead and did not feel comfortable using any of the dish-ware or drink-ware either, given the state of the utensils. This was very gross but overall I was impressed with the overall cleanliness. The man at the front desk was very friendly and helpful and made check in a breeze. The spaciousness of the room itself was wonderful and I found everything to be very comfortable. I had been able to pick out my room in advance on the app and chose a corner room on the top floor - it was very quiet despite it's proximity to the freeway. The room was dark overall but the only issue was the outlet in the bathroom had a nightlight built in which could not be turned off! I had to stack a couple things in front of it to block out the light that was very close to the bed. I stayed at 3 hotels on my fall break trip and this one had by far the best quality and best variety of free breakfast options. I really appreciate having this. As a young single woman, I felt very safe in the neighborhood when walking into the hotel late at night. I hadn't realized when booking the hotel that it was actually across the street from the apartments my brother and his family used to live in - so I knew upon arrival it was a very safe area. I would absolutely stay here again and felt the value was there for the price I paid.

The room was huge! It had a cute little kitchen setup with a dining table, a comfy corner couch in the living area, and two separate bedrooms, which made it feel more like an apartment than a hotel. One room had a queen bed, a good-sized closet with wired shelving, and a super spacious bathroom with the sink area outside the bathroom, always a win when you're trying to get ready without fighting over space. The second bedroom had a king bed, its own walk-in shower, and the same setup with the sink outside the bathroom and open to the room, which made it super easy to multitask (aka watch TV while doing my makeup). The space overall was clean, functional, and comfortable. But my biggest complaint? That awful showerhead. It was grimy, leaking, and had the weakest water pressure.

The staff were always very friendly and accommodating. There were a couple of times we had a lot of clarifying questions and they never made us feel like we were annoying them. Even when we checked out, I double checked the pet fee after having paid and left already. They had accidentally overcharged me, as I had stayed for less time than the price I had paid. I called them up to inquire about it, and they were able to resolve the issue and refunded me the difference. Overall, the hotel was pretty clean for accommodating pets. I think this hotel seems to have a lot of smells from food that people bring it or of cleaning products. Even in our room, it seemed the room held on to smells for a long time, and despite having the air circulating or the window open, it was hard to get rid of the scents. It also seems other reviewers have mentioned some bedbug or other creepy crawly concerns, but we did not see any for the whole month we were there. We had a studio sort of room, so it was a large space that included the bed, a small living room with the couch, dining table, and kitchenette. The kitchenette includes a microwave that also can be an oven, an electric stove, and a nice sized refrigerator. They include the basic utensils for eating and cooking, bowls, plates, cups, mugs, pans, pots, colander. There is a coffee maker, as well. They provide you with dishwashing soap but it is not of great quality as it doesn't bubble. There is no sponge they provide to wash your dishes. They do have some dishwasher detergent for the dishwasher they also have in the unit. It seems they do not do room service unless you specifically request/schedule for it. It's probably because they have pets and they need you to have your pet out of the room when they service it. Parking is free, and they provide you with a parking pass to leave on your dashboard. They have a 24/7 gym with a few key equipment, including 2 ellipticals, 1 stationary bike, 1 non-functioning Peloton bike, 3 treadmills, bench for weights, back extension. They have wipes to clean the equipment, a water jug, and towels for your convenience. There is complimentary breakfast. It starts at 6:30 am on the weekdays, 7 am on the weekends. They have someone making custom ready-to-order omelets. They have the standard coffee and tea (coffee runs out pretty quickly in the morning since this is a busy hotel for working guets), scrambled eggs (one plain, one with veggies), sausage or bacon, potatoes, fruit, cereal, oatmeal, breads. There is a bar with a happy hour as well, but they do not have a sit-down restaurant here. Fortunately, there are many restaurants close by in Downtown Pleasant Hill. Other amenities include meeting rooms, a pool, basketball court. Overall, it was a pretty solid experience at Hyatt House!

Our room was on the top floor and looked out over the Carquinez Strait. During our stay we loved watching the trains on the opposite shore, the changing tides, Egrets, Bay fog and the distant Carquinez Bridge. It was wonderful enjoying waterfront views without having to drive to the coast. The room featured three armchairs, table and chairs, nightstands with lamps, TV and mini fridge. Three complimentary water bottles were provided. Lovely art prints adorned the walls. The rooms have no air conditioning but they have portable units they can bring in on request. There was a good wind (as is often the case in Benicia) and that was sufficient on this day. The breakfast was amazing: hard boiled eggs (and an offer to make scrambled if we wanted), muffins, Bacon, cereal, rolls/pastries, bagels, cheeses, ham, milk, OJ and mango juice as options. Benicia is a quaint explore, lots of artisan shops. Look in on the One House Bakery for some delish sweets! Just a great stay, wish we could have extended. Look forward to a return visit!
