My family and I have have been coming here since 2021 & we enjoy our stay every visit The daytime staff are always welcoming & hospitable Rooms are nice & we love that pretty much every time we come to stay we get the view we request of Discovery Kingdom
Also, with the cost of prices pretty much everywhere going up, we love that we can just walk to the park & enjoy Our kiddos also enjoyed the pool this time & loved how comfortable the water temperature was We love coming here On a small little note the night staff (weekdays) may want to work on their hospitality We will be back again & soon Thank you Courtyard by Marriott in Vallejo Oh and finally, the hotel manager (Kaitlin) is really nice, hospitality, & cares about the hotels guests Thank you Kaitlin & your wonderful staff

Booked weeks in advanced, but rooms oversold Checked into only room they had left It was not clean, bed unmade and garbage in the room
Smelled strong of marijuana They said they registered a room at a nearby hotel from reserves, but when we got to other hotel we found out Courtyard never called They made no other reservations for us We had to figure out our own lodging, and now I’m still trying to get my money back Do NOT recommend
Corduroy Truey
It was an alright stay and it was comfortable but when you fail to provide the basics such as drinking water, it fails expectations I woke up with a incredibly dry and sore throat but was greeted by the fact that the rooms do not provide cold water and I have to either pay for water upstairs (325$ per bottle) or you’re forced to go downstairs and use the bathroom sink
Not everyone is looking to spend 30$ on literally water

David Poole
Newly renovated, unlike some Garden Inns, this hotel has truly upscale accommodations I had a splendid stay until I went down for breakfast, finding a breakfast policy with absolutely no continental option for your $10 credit I had unknowingly walked in and acknowledged my credit at check in, declining the points add back offered
This was an annual Honors stay offered for Diamond members, the only redemption to this story If I had paid for this room I would be much more feisty 😇
David Bunjac
Very good hotel for the price point and very conveniently located in Emeryville close to the Bay Bridge and Oakland Inside, it’s quiet, clean and most importantly, the beds are very comfortable! The neighborhood is safe with good shopping very close The downside is the property is aging and is showing signs of wear
Good maintenance is trying to keep up, but there are still flaws that will only be corrected with a major rehab No safe in the room and aging furniture Water pressure so-so $20 breakfast buffet that was not much better than what you’d see for free in other properties, so the dining room was empty at breakfast time with hot trays full standing for who knows how long But despite those problems, I would stay again It’s a good base to explore SF or the rest of the Bay Area and not too expensive That’s why I give four stars
Kristina Boler
The location is very convenient and the hotel is nice in appearance The staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were cleanPlease note that you do have to pay $20 a day for parking which though I did notice that when we made the reservation, I thought that was a lot just to park
In my opinion, it should be free for choosing to stay there The breakfast was good but again, over priced They don’t have a pool but I was okay because I looked forward to the hot tub which was sadly closed when we were staying there So lots of plus’s and minuses but the location was worth it for our travel plans

John St. Pierre
Honestly, I was surprised with how nice this Best Western was The rooms were clean, spacious (for a hotel room) and well-maintained, there was plenty of light, a decent-sized TV, a refrigerator and microwave in the room There was also a surprisingly nice fitness center, and a decent complimentary breakfast each morning
The staff was super friendly and helpful and this hotel was close to everything in Benicia I will definitely be staying here the next time business brings me to town
Joel Ricca
Awful place Expensive too There was a party of hotel guests right outside our window signing, drinking, yelling, smoking until 3am! I complained on the phone at midnight and 1am
Nothing changed I went o the front desk in person at 2am to complain and the manager promised to do something about it Nothing changed They kept me up until well after 3am and the management did not care except to say ‘we’re sorry’
Misty Gilbert
If I could give it zero stars I would We flew into San Francisco from being in Hawaii for a week and stayed here on the way home My 2 kids and I got bed bug bites all over arms and my son on his face as well
My husband informed the front desk of the bed bugs when we left The next day I followed up by trying to contact the manager I was given a phone number to call Geraldine I left a message and now two days later no call back I called again today to make sure they are taken care of it and spoke with Karime She advised me that the housekeeper checked and did not find any bed bugs, but she did say they changed the sheets (I would hope so bed bugs or not) We were in room 223 I would steer clear of this hotel

PROS:+ Hotel & room look fresh and newly renovated+ Staff was overall friendly and helpful+ Mina (I think that was his name) at the Front Desk was wonderful at asking how the stay was He was professional, classy, and approachable I was amazed how unafraid he was to ask how the stay was 1-10
Hotel workers need to ask this more often! He deserves a raise :)CONS:- Corner suite can be a bit noisy from the Bart, didn’t bother me but can bother light sleepers- Location isn’t exactly walking distance from any restaurants, bars, or groceries- Must pay for parking
Tiara Littleton
Thank you, Mina, for the outstanding customer service from the time I arrived to the time I checked out The hotel was spotless, parking is a little unnecessarily priced, but there is street parking, the continental breakfast was on par, especially for an athlete like myself I like the various options they have available! I definitely look forward to staying here every time I come to the Bay
Tim Riener
This place is just on the outskirts of downtown Walnut Creek But it is also very close to BART All of which means it’s a good place to stay and easy to get to
As Marriotts go it’s about par for the course in terms of cost and quality The parking situation is a little bit dicey, and may have to rely on valet parking Still, on the whole would call this place a good value for the money

James Leist
My first stay here I was pleased with the experience Friendly staff
Parking is easily available I like the hotel design It appears small until I saw the interior and central green area with a pool, tables, BBQ, etc The hotel is circular with room windows overlooking the central green area The room windows have a view central green area with a pool, tables, BBQ; instead of the parking lot or freeway Breakfast choices were good I’ll be back
its me
It’s a basic Hotel nothing fancy Always clean and has some great amenities such as a gym a beautiful pool and breakfast in the morning But it’s not a high-end place or anything it’s just clean comfortable and gives you the basics of what you need to stay overnight out of town
The people at the front desk were very nice and so were all of the guests that I met while I was there so I had a fun time
Rocio Holguin
I highly recommend the Holiday Inn Express, Walnut Creek,Ca Easy check in, pretty lobby, super clean rooms and friendly staff! Daily breakfast was a plus for sure since we were out of towner’s Beds were so soft and clean
Got two choices of pillows too (soft&firm) Wonderful water pressure Folks were very pleased with with Holiday Inn Express! Definitely return customers

Beds are comfortableWalls are slightly thinClean on the surfaces, but like many older properties there are little things like dust accumulated in the exhaust vents Not a major thing, but little detailsGood value for the property and location

The WC Marriott is a professional, clean, modern, and respectful establishment Other than the expenses for parking and breakfast, which are slightly annoying, this remains a hotel that goes above and beyond to care for their guestsI appreciate their attention to detail and helpful front desk attitude
Great, useful, cost-saving, and technologically advanced App, too!
Garrett Tisdale
When I checked in the front desk gave me a key to a room that was already occupied I walked right into the room of someone who had checked in just a couple hours prior The individual in the room was quite upset and I was surprised to say the least
After checking into the correct room I listened to a dog that was a few rooms down bark for a couple hours continuously Every evening when I got back to the room for 4 nights straight I could hear the same dog barking for an hour or two You must use valet parking which isn’t a big issue at all except for my spare tire that was missing one morning Not sure if the valet staff was involved in taking it or if someone snuck in their parking garage and stole it I heard from multiple other guests that it is common in the area for individuals to have their spare tires stolen when valet parked People never notice the tire missing until they need it I just happened to notice that mine was missing while opening the trunk of my vehicle Make sure you check everyday to see if it has been stolen if you stay here The location is nice but overall I would NOT recommend this hotel
D W
Nice people, The bartender guy was high end, nice guy! limited food options if your staying for more than a day, they serve mostly the same breakfast/dinner options and only a jack in the box in walking distance Room was clean and comfortable, but the lighting was dim, no overhead light Complimentary miniatures where basic
We have noticed there are huge policy differences between Marriott propertiesThis property is surrounded by multiple high end car lots but little else

Check in and check out were simple and fast since I was prepaid for a weekend workshop The room was large and clean The king sized bed was very comfortable and the hotel meals were very good
The only negative things were that the ice machine on my floor was out of order and though the TV was nice and large, it didn’t get all the channels on the menu
Nakisha Juarez
I just wanted to express my appreciation for your staffI want to specifically recognize Louis who checked me in and was so kind and accommodating as I checked in at 1amMy upgraded room is just perfect for my stay as I will have quite a few office accessories during my 18 day stay
Printers, monitors, laptops, easels, etc This stay will be packed with work seven days a week and having a space that is comfortable to work in is paramount I’ve stayed here a few times before and the customer service and cleanliness never disappoints!!!Louis went above and beyond making sure I had everything I needed upon my early AM check in Thank you Louis, the hospitality industry needs more people like you!!!107 days so far this year and looking forward to adding 18 more at the San Ramon Marriott!

Excellent location, great service, delectable restaurant, and veritable amenities make this Marriott location a great spot to lay your head down for a night or few Entry to the hotel is beautifully nestled between trees and hedges The staff at the hotel are extremely helpful and checked me in without a hitch
The room was clean and the temperature ambient The room has ample media options with the ability to log into your Netflix or Amazon Prime account The hotel has a restaurant where you can dine in or place orders to take back to your room (room service still has not resumed at the hotel) The hotel has good internet connection and plenty of parking The location is convenient as there is a target and a mixed-use development with shops and restaurants within walking distance The gym has good equipment and a sauna room A relaxing outdoor seating area next to the pool complements the existing amenities at the hotel Overall, my stay was great, and the hotel is a great option if you are going to be in the area for a short stint or an extended time

I enjoyed my stay, although I only was there to sleep It was okay fot the price, the room was great The greeter for night time check in was absolutely rude, he was an older gentleman
We couldn’t really hear him because he was mumbling, we politely asked if he could repeat and he yelled at us Not okay Wanted to say something but I was too exhausted from being at the hospital with my new bornBreakfast was OK Was very little choicesOther than that beds were comfortable Bathroom was beautiful And it was clean
Bonny Bowen
Very nice place, VERY quiet on the bay side City view will be of the freeway King bay side room was spacious with nice view and a balcony
We were here almost a week, breakfast was a disappointment (biscuit sandwich, made fresh) final day they brought back waffles YEAH! Be aware this is not a nice neighborhood, they charge $15/night parking to pay for a security guard (be glad they do)We would stay here again:knowing we would not go out after darkdon’t leave anything in your carleave the area during the day
Gregory Powell
Update on 6-15-2022 Pool and hot tub are closed by the health department No ETA given for when the pool and hot tube might reopen
This is main reason we chose the hotel This is a very nice hotel and very close to the water Parking Security at night which is a bonusUpdate on 6-17 the pool and hot tub are open, and the hot tub is actually warm

The Inn at Benicia Bay is a gem, and we can’t wait to come back We got married in Benicia in June 2022, and all of the bridesmaids + me and my now-husband stayed at the Inn at Benicia Bay We did all of our wedding preparations at the Inn, and held a farewell breakfast in the beautiful courtyard the day after the wedding
From the day we wandered in and met Tracee 10 months before the wedding, we’ve had an incredible experience Tracee is so kind, attentive, and communicative, and even invited us to visit the inn the week before the wedding so we could walk through the rooms and talk through details On the wedding weekend, Michael was manning the inn, and he was incredible Like Tracee, he was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, and went way above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing stay The rooms themselves were beautiful, the courtyard was gorgeous, and the breakfast from the Italian bakery/restaurant were incredible We can’t wait to come back!
Philip York
We had an amazing time at our recent visit at the Inn at Benicia Bay The staff were friendly and extremely helpful The Cafe served up amazing food and drinks
Breakfast was a nice touch to our stay One of the things that really impressed us was the grounds themselves Beautiful inside and out and they have really been able to create a peaceful vibe Will definitely go back for another stay
Cheryl Gourley
The area is beautiful and Tracee and Dennis are so welcoming that you will feel like family! The Italian bistro is so authentic and the coffee is absolutely perfect I love the style of the themed rooms, lofted ceilings, hand-crafted soap, and sunny patios everywhere Not to mention the most important part: a super comfortable extra large bed
This is a great idyllic inn and is located right downtown and by the harbor so you don’t have to drive I have come over and over and still look forward to the stay I would love to have a family reunion here next year It looks like it could be a great venue as well

Comfortable bed The desk is a little narrow which is important for my work trips Friendly staff
No complaints with other amenities (towels, soaps, shower) I’d recommend this place Valet was reasonably fast With the exception of the coffee shop attached to the hotel, there are good dining options within walking distance Regarding coffee shop, black coffee was bitter and if I didn’t need the boost I would have poured it out I can also appreciate/understand that some places have to mark up food prices, but $4 for a grocery store cup of yogurt is excessive I should have stuck with the $6 breakfast burrito

This review is difficult to write because certain aspects of the hotel are great and others are notRoom – We stayed in the nicest sweet with the exception of the penthouse, we stayed in the Jack London Suite Great size room
great layout however there are quite a few issues with the room First off the bed is extremely uncomfortable to the point where we cut our stay short by one night because we could not get a good night’s rest Second issue the sofa bed our daughter was going to sleep on was zip tied shut (no exaggeration) During our stay there was also a shortage of pillows and blankets For the room we could only get four total pillows and three blankets when I called down During my travels this is the first time there has been a shortage on pillows and blankets Another issue I had during our stay our room was never cleaned or turned downStaff – The staff is great!Location – Location is great very close to the ferry that takes you across the bay to San FranOverall review as others have stated on here, you are better off staying at a different hotel which isn’t dated/worn down The amount we spent during our stay, we also paid for the last night we didn’t even stay in the hotel Despite me bringing the issues to management there was a lack of a empathy

The locations and views are wonderful Staff is friendly I upgraded my room and that’s where the issues started
The first room’s heat did not work We were moved to another room It was just dirty, which I noticed the next day after our late night move I brought it to front desk attention, but the report there was really nothing they could do I have reached out to Hyatt It looks so nice online and lobby is adorable Just frustrating!Edit: manager reached out and was very helpful

This hotel continues to be my “go to” whenever I need a restful place to stay The rooms are quite spacious, the beds comfortable, the towels and lines a notch above average
right down to the items in the kitchen area Plenty of desk surface for laptop and/tablet, well lighted, and unlike some of this chain’s competitors the tv is adjustable so that one might enjoy it from a variety of sitting choicesThe breakfast buffet has decent options, the coffee strong without a whisper of bitternessI can’t speak highly enough of the staff here, from front desk to each level of service person they are friendly, responsive and make the stay that much brighter

Clean, comfortable king bed in room 340 Our teenager gives the fold out soda bed 2 1/2 stars Plentiful, easy, self-parking ($10 charge)
The included breakfast was adequate (oatmeal, cold cereal, scrambled eggs, sausage links, pancakes, yogurt, bananas, oranges, OJ) The coffee was on the weak side, so plan to head to the nearby Starbucks if you like a caffeine jolt in the morning All staff we encountered were welcoming and helpful Would definitely return the next time we’re in town
The Littlest Dragon
I came during prom week During my stay, the staff were so kind and helpful They were so helpful and I wanted for nothing
At breakfast if I needed help there was always someone there willing to help Things that were empty were filled Even when I tried to clean up a hot chocolate spill from my baby sister, they stopped me and made sure I was okay and commented that they were worried about me fallingRooms were clean, though I do wish they had thicker comforters The only other thing is that the bathroom door lock was very finicky and was hard to unlock The fridge is loud when making ice Overall, fantastic room, fantastic hotel, and I would stay again

Ryan Privee (Paranormal Adventures)
Nice clean historic hotel Nobody was around when I arrived around 4:30pm which was odd but the staff left a key and note (it was a weekday) I stayed in the “Ghost Adventures” room Wild Peony
They obviously exaggerated how “scary” this place is as it wasn’t scary at all and I slept comfortably I will say some of the spirit voices I got weren’t exactly friendly, I heard some “will you leave/go?” But just grouchy spirits, nothing malevolent They were active lighting up paranormal equipment in an intelligent manner so I do recommend this location to paranormal enthusiasts, but if you aren’t into ghost hunting you have nothing to fear as you probably won’t experience anything if you aren’t trying to interact It’s a great location near the water, restaurants and shops There’s a nice public garden across the street and the food in the restaurant under the hotel is quite good The staff at the restaurant have ghost stories too
its me
This place is really old and kind of funky but that’s the whole point of staying there I mean it’s really old the building’s probably from 1911 or something I heard it was haunted when I went to a restaurant nearby to eat but I really felt a great vibe when I walked into my room and I had a great time in the city of Benicia everybody was so friendly I would definitely go back in fact I can’t wait to go back

Gabriel Carlos Arratia
They made extra charges on our creditcard without any invoice, without prior information and without questioning, totally illegal
I wrote them to claim but nothing, so now I have a claim with booking com help and also I made legal steps with our lawyer Be carefully with this hotel! Also the breakfast was terrible, disgusting the place not bad, but seems the direction board of the hotel are terrible

Stayed here three nights while visiting the Bay Area with family of five (children ages 6-10) One of the nicer hotels we have stayed in and seems like it is new or has been remodeled recently Room was clean and spacious
Breakfast was always fantastic Valet parking is $30/day but that is to be expected when visiting the city Short walk across the street to the BART stop if you want to take the train into the city Great stay overall and we would definitely book here again!
Kirstin Rosales
Rose checked us in and she was personable and provided speedy and great customer service The suite rooms were clean and spacious along with a vast array of breakfast items our family could enjoy The only thing that was disappointing was the indoor pool was down for maintenance which is partly why we booked this hotel
It would have been nice to have been told when booking the hotel or checking in that one of the amenities was down I also wish that they provided regular coffee pods (we only had tea and hot cocoa), extra blankets and pillows in the rooms for the pull out sofa Otherwise, we will probably be back!
Erich Barischoff
Older hotel with actually a great charm to it, and clean! Second floor hall overlooks the Lobby / Diner The room is spacious with a drawing room up front 60″ flat-screen, sleeper sofa and work area in the drawing room
Separate work area and television in the bedroom Comfy bed and pillows Nice large bathroom plus fridge and micro Not bad!
