    We loved this place. It is located in downtown area with plenty of shopping and places to eat nearby. The bed was comfy. The shower flow was great. Yummy cookies in the lobby and tasty breakfast in the breakfast area. Cute out back seating area. The staff and management is very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back.

    Our good friend booked room 221 as an overnight getaway for me and my new husband since we didn't have time for a proper honeymoon right away. Our room was adorable!!! The bed was cozy and comfy. The room was on the second floor and had one window air conditioner so by the afternoon it was kinda stuffy because the sun was shining right into the windows. WiFi was non existent. Shower head could have been better quality but these are minor issues. Loved that we were able to walk the Main street and see all the quaint little shops! Great location. We will stay again!

    Additional sitting room with a leather couch and door to the bathroom. Everything was very clean.

    I think this was our favorite place we stayed on our trip!! We were in room 221 and it was the cutest and coziest room! The bed was comfortable and we slept with the windows open. They had a lovely spread for breakfast which included the usual cereal, bagels, fresh fruit but also some hot dishes....the (spinach?) quiche was really yummy. We loved it so much we tried to stay another day but they didn't have any rooms available. Staff was friendly and helpful. I hope I have a chance to stay there again sometime. Nice place. Cozy with the feel that you're staying in a home instead of a commercial hotel.

    On a last minute birthday request by my 14 yr old granddaughter to stay in hotel w/ hot tub. We'd…read moregotten a res. on line advertised at $110 +taxes and fees; hotel site, much more. Hotel confirmed they'd honor third party reservation. First pros: When we finally found lobby, we were greeted by a feeling of elevated comfort, & elegance w/ the black-coated front desk staff, earth of faux fire place, leather couches, & fancy chairs. Around the corner are the lowered lights of a bar & grill w/ lovely accents of polished wood throughout. Large glass windows surround a beautiful blue outdoor pool with hot tub in garden setting. In lobby, 2 options of chilled filtered water, 1 plane and 1 infused w/ fresh melon, a nice touch to give good 1st impressions. They said it's ok to invite hubby and son to join my daughter & grandkids & I to enjoy jacuzzi, even though they weren't staying; seemed generous, + towels provided. Open till 10pm. There were nicely scented toiletries in bathroom & MAX, HBO, YOUTUBE, and other streaming services, free w/ your stay. MANY CONS: Our room had ugly window view to parking lot; we asked if we could change to double queen pool view, they said no, hotel only has single King rooms w/ pool view and any others were booked. Ok, we did Book last minute. Next day, Service Tech said there had been plenty rooms avail. w/ double queen, pool view, but 3d floor + our room would soon be renovated, and why it was sub par. Why the lie? Jacuzzi: We visited the area earlier in eve, 6:40 pm when it looked lovely and aglow with gas fire pits & other outdoor ambient lighting... sadly, spa not hot, and just one jet working when i kept pushing button to start them? Service tech said they only come on w/ sensor w/ more folks in tub (whaaat?) he said, jets won't come on at night because of chemicals they add to hot tub (whaaat?). I hoped by AM, spa'd be hot so we could enjoy our AM coffee & take a dip! By AM it was so cold by pool we did not want risk of experience night before w/ cold spa, so resorted to regular tub soak in room. Sadly, tub plug broken and won't fill! Settled for shower :( No working bathroom fan! Not good for steamy mirror nor other smelly reasons fan is needed in there. Room window made of thin single pane glass that if child or anyone fell into, it'd easily break and we'd fall to cement, 3 floors down; no screen on window that opened 3 inches. Also large chips out of paint on window wall, size of apple. Heater tricky to get fan low, less noisy, & temp right. It loudly blew cold air and had to be turned off. No working USB charger ports, only 1 defunct port & service tech said it was disabled in anticipation of remodel, & also why furniture was old, and my mattress felt like a heavy person slept in it creating very bad dip; mattress needs changing! Fridge freezer, though coated in ice, not cold enough for ice cream. Ours went from frozen at store to melted beyond eatability, w/ in 2 hrs. While hubby awaited our return from shopping he tried to get beer at bar, but found it closing by 9:pm. Instead of letting him know he'd closed out his cash register & that my hubby could get beer to take to room from front desk, bartender rudely said, "i just closed, sorry!" instead of suggesting beer at front desk. We did not realize was possible till too late. Before checkout we waited over an hour for service tech to come look @ bathtub; we called 3 times over that hour & each time, told they were sending someone. When tech finally showed up he explained all about up coming remodel. Why the sub par room? Punishment for using 3d party? With each issue w/ room, we tried calling front desk for help. 1st time, when we asked for more bath towels, no one'd answer, only machine says staff is w/ other clients, even @ 2:00am when i wanted heat but couldn't get cold air to stop blowing. No one ever answered @ that hour. I gave up & just got extra blanket from closet (there was only one!). I thought, they're sick of hearing from room 309. When checking down stairs, staff were not visibly busy..... usually 2 agents working, just typing on their computers & no guest in front of them. Service tech said, trouble with phones was part of future renovation issue. When we'd finally reached staff over phone to ask for 2 more bath towels (since we're 4 and there were only 2 towels), they brought 2 tiny floor mat towels! We had to physically go ask for bath towels! Con: My granddaughter held bed quilt up to light of window and horrible stained filth showed through; see pic's. They tried to offer minimal points toward discounted stay only to be used on hotel site, where dilapidated hotel costs more money. Not worth it we'd do better at home. Not recommended.

    This hotel needs to be refurbished immediately. The various areas / floors all have different but…read morevery unpleasant smells and the guest rooms are beat up and dingy.

He assisted me during checkout and made the entire process smooth and efficient. He was courteous, attentive, and handled everything quickly while ensuring all the details were correct. It's clear he takes pride in his work, and that level of care really stood out. One feature I really appreciated was the ability to skip the front desk at check-in and go straight to your room. That convenience makes travel much easier. Breakfast was another highlight, the omelet station was excellent. Fresh, made-to-order, and a great way to start the day. The only small caveat was that they ran out of English breakfast tea, and the cinnamon rolls were in short supply. Not a deal breaker, just something to note. Overall, the hotel was clean and comfortable, and the combination of great service, convenience, and strong breakfast experience made it an easy five stars. I would absolutely stay here again.

    Check-in: Staying here for business for a couple of days. Anita at the front desk was…read moreprofessional and efficient with my check in process. I got a room up on the 5th floor which was quiet and looked out to the houses across the slough/waterway. Room: My room was so dark and sad. The light switch on the left side as you come in turns on the light over the table which didn't really help. This particular light I bumped my head on as I was standing next to the table organizing my gear. There was this over hanging floor lamp which did not help much either. The bathroom was bright. The toilet was so low to the floor, the sink did not have a stopper; I could smell the sink odors... No soap dish. No tub stopper either. The tub had mold in one corner, rust stains on the shower curtain rod, and the paint they used to refresh the tub was coming up... The carpet looked questionable... BTW- there were only four (4) hangars in the closet...?! I was hanging things on a chair. Also, one towel hook. The door to the bedroom looked like there may have been a break-in, or something...? The room looked tired.... The seating areas are so dark.... It kind of felt a little depressing in my room.... Happy Hour: The happy hour was good, very lively; I think due to the groups in town for meetings. Aziz was a terrific bartender! We had the fettuccine alfredo with chicken which we split 3-ways; it was ok in a pinch. The following day we had the tater tots which apparently is Embassy Suite's spin on tater tots was not good. No reason to re-create the tater tots wheel... Put your spin on the original tater tots with dipping sauces, etc. Charging $10 and $12 per taco is seriouslyd excessive (BTW).... Your tacos do not warrant that fee!! If your restaurant ruined tater tots; there is no faith in the tacos.... Restaurant/Breakfast: The breakfast was ok.... My omelette was runny on the first day, so I did not return the second. I just had oatmeal and fruit. The pre-prepared food room was lacking proper utensils for serving, and no spoons for use...! My team and I took care of our dishes and put them on the hand trolley; Wednesday and Thursday mornings....! The hand trolley was always there but never any staff clearing tables, etc. In Walnut Creek there is always multiple staff moving around clearing tables, being helpful, etc. Common Areas: If you are not on your phone in the common seating areas.... it's a bit depressing.... Leaking atrium ceiling. The restaurant seating area against the wall where there was actual light; the bench covers were worn through. This is something management should have repaired immediately; especially since the entire bench is completely worn out...! Quite the eye sore... Observations: During my stay, this Embassy Suites was consistently busy and being in Marin County a preferred location. Although, staff indicate they just renovated in 2020; leadership/management clearly overlooked what clients would want/prefer in a room. 90% of the hotel appeared to be in the dark...! Why? Also, line staff would benefit from training. On my last day (Thursday), there was a leak from the atrium ceiling.... Accolades: Moving forward, Anita was very helpful and professional during check-in. Lee and Sedir were very professional in the process of checking out etc. The front lobby (only) was bright and welcoming. Ample parking available.

Mini fridge had a glacier of ice buildup on the freezer, indicating high room humidity. Bathroom sliding glass door closes on its own, cutting off ventilation after taking a shower. Toilet seat was loose so it slid around. Our fire alarm went off at night because we had zero air circulation in a stuffy humid air chamber, which led to staff asking us to vacate under the assumption we had been smoking in the unit which we had not. We had to ask them to call the manager who ordered them to tell us to vacate and had to explain the problems with the unit that caused the false alarm. Parking lot is tiny, and the ticketing/gate system doesn't work oftentimes, leading people to have to back out into traffic to get out of the lot. The desk staff seems really nice and it's a shame, because we got the impression that the management is not so nice and mismanages the property by not giving their staff the resources they need to maintain the units or handle issues with the furnishings. There's lots of reviews of things being broken in various rooms and ours had a similar experience. It looks nice, but doesn't get maintained well, and management is quick to jump on you which results in an incredibly inhospitable and hostile atmosphere. I imagine working here is also not pleasant and I can pick up on the vibes that the staff are stressed.
