This is like a common old fashioned cute hotel. The hotel is big and nice although it isn't in the best location the space makes up for that. They have all the amenities you could want and the rooms are very big. The bathrooms are a decent size and there are a bunch of lotions and moisturizer samples. The shampoo are in big containers and have nice scents. The shampoo is mint, the body wash is lemon grass and the conditioner is also mint.I personally love those flavors but the mint can sting min your eyes and isn't great for babies or younger kids. The water pressure is light which I like but some people might not. The beds are nice and have nice backboards but are a little soggy and uncomfortable for two people. There is a nice elegant desk and chairs as well as the room bring a very big size with tall ceilings. The closet is the perfect size for someone who is staying for a week and there is a TV in the room but it doesn't have cable TV which is annoying. The food I didn't get to try because for the room service the person was coughing and she said the wait was at least an hour for the food. read more

Stayed there this weekend. We had two rooms and spent the bulk of the time poolside. Likes: Great staff and service. The property is well kept but not snooty. Halibut at dinner was a stand out. Robert who helped us with our luggage at checkin was smooth and professional. You can opt out of housekeeping (but don't forget to tip the poor staff who miss out). Terrific water pressure in the rain showers. Dislikes: they charged us for self parking on the property. In the suburbs? That is bullshit bilking tourists. We dropped a couple of grand there, but the $$100 added for parking really left a bad taste. There was no mention of this until we found it on the bill. It strikes me as a cash grab. Also, the pool is small and 4 ft deep, so consider it a dip pool. read more

Lafayette Park - Cozy pool area with table service from the bar or restaurant - Hotels Near Me - Lafayette, California

I live near by.. and this is my go to spot for a "staycation". It's actually pretty beautiful, I feel transported to some where serene and peaceful. It feels like you are away on a holiday even though it's about 17 minutes from our home in oakland. The pool and hot tub are perfect. Hot tub is hot, they keep it nice and hot to soothe away any worries. The pool area is relaxing and tranquil. I've not tried the spa, but I intend too soon! Our room was cozy and clean. With vaulted ceilings and an electric fireplace. The bar is fantastic, with pleasant, witty service. The food is actually quite good at the restaurant. I'd come here for dinner even without being a hotel guest. This place is perfect for a getaway. It's on the expensive side but very worth the price. I also recommend it for anyone with bougie out of town guests. I love it here. And can't wait for an excuse to come back and stay again soon. read more

Many nice things about the hotel. Pretty disappointed with the service and value. The incessant pounding from construction, which was not disclosed before checking in and the room was not what was promised. When discussed with the front desk, they had no sympathy and just weren't friendly. read more

This is one of my favorite hotels! My wife and I live locally and we come here few times a year just for a little staycation. When you go through the doors you feel like you are transported to somewhere in France. There are several aspects to things we love about this hotel, so I am going to break it down in sections. Parking: 5/5 Parking is very easy. They have some outdoor parking right around the hotel and smaller 1 floor garage. The elevator from the garage is close to any parking space down there. Parking is $25 for a night/day with in an out privileges. Rooms: 5/5 The rooms are very nice. They have nice furniture, comfortable bed and are very spacious (Much larger than a standard hotel room). The rooms all have a mini fridge that you can put your drinks or leftovers in as well an area to make drinks, coffee, etc. They also include 2 bottles of water of their own brand for free. They also have a wine bottle opener to use at your leisure. There are 2 very nice spa robes for your use that are stored in the closet. The cool thing is that if you like the robes or any of the accessories such as the wine opener, you can simply take them home with you and they will include the charge to your bill. (The pricing for these items is listed in your room). Accommodations: 5/5 The accommodations include a heated pool, hot tub, fitness center, party room, event room, relaxing courtyards with seating areas and tables, spa treatment area and an attached restaurant (The Park Bistro and Bar). The pool and fitness area are just so beautiful and relaxing. The hot tub is always at a good temp and the pool is always warm. They have plenty of seating and loungers with umbrellas. There is also a beautiful large gas fireplace area with tables and chairs in front of it. Perfect place to hang out and read a book or enjoy your coffee. The fitness center and spa area are both facing the pool courtyard. There used to be a sauna right next to the hot tub, but it looks like they have shut that down now and use it for storage unfortunately. Even without this though, it's still a 5/5. They also have pool towels that are accessible and a large water filling station with cups in the area. They also offer a pool day use pass if you just want to enjoy this area without staying in the hotel. Service: 5/5 Every time we have stayed, we have received excellent customer service. Most of the time, we have received a complimentary room upgrade upon check-in. The staff is always very friendly and greet you with a smile. Price: 5/5 Prices range from $200-300+ depending on the day of the week, the type of room and if they have any specials going on. They seem to run several deals throughout the year. So it is worth checking their website from time to time. But, on average we have paid about $230-250 for a 1 king bed standard room when we have stayed, and we always feel we get our money's worth for what we get with the room. Area: 5/5 This is walking distance to downtown Lafayette which has several shops, restaurants, cafes and grocery stores. It is also very close to Bart (short Uber drive or about a 15-20 min walk.) This hotel is great if you are not from the area and want a great place to stay and still have easy access to SF or anywhere else around the Bay Area. It's also great to have a romantic or family/friends staycation or event. read more

One of the most relaxing experiences we had with our family at this hotel ! The staff is very friendly. I had booked a massage at the spa and wanted to change it to a couples massage's and they accommodated by calling in a masseuse. The bistro has delicious cocktails and desserts. Beautiful property in the beautiful north Bay Area. read more

This was the best hotel i've stayed at with friendly service and a very clean executive like suite. The view outside the window of the water fountain and bistro area. Our room had a "at home" feel to it, very relaxing. read more

Lafayette Park - Front of Hotel during Christmas - Hotels Near Me - Lafayette, California

This hotel is amazing. Ambiance, customer service is excellent! I had two spa services with Fiona!! Highly recommend!

Requested to stay at their very best suite. It wasn't as clean as I thought and had to request several additional cleaning services for the bathroom (shower curtain and bathtub, to be specific), and as a mom of two, you'll understand why bathtubs need to be cleaned throughly! Other than those requests, it was a nice stay - not four seasons nice, but nice enough to come back again. We loved their saline outdoor pool! Their in-room and pool food is really expensive for mediocre food (but thank goodness there are walkable or close-by foodie locations, including The Hideout - over fav!!!!). Service is also extremely slow!! Just order from Hideout and enjoy by the pool with the kiddos. Lots of towels available. Also, mamas... FYI - Don't feel intimidated if there are pretentious couples lying around the pool, get those kids in the pool and enjoy!!! read more

Every time we try and do something at this place it goes catastrophically wrong today. We were supposed to be getting massages and they called us an hour and a half before and flat out canceled no solutions no rescheduling no nothing. read more

Due to overbooking, our reservation was cancelled the night before the event. This is unacceptable and will not recommend.

I booked a massage recently and was very disappointed to learn that spa guests are not allowed to use the pool *unless* "there is availability" (based on hotel guest usage) AND they pay an additional $35 or $50 (depending on the day of the week). That's outrageous. I dropped $275 at the spa - which was MORE than the nightly room rate for that same night- and they seriously expect me to pay another $35-$50 to use the pool that is located directly in front on the spa?! Absolutely not. What a terrible guest experience. read more

Great Accommodations , Nice , Clean rooms Friendly & Helpful staff , the dinning was Delicious , Cook to perfection, & tasty . The wait for the desert was worth it , Spa treatment was relaxing & Great , we will be back if not for the stay , for the spa treatments read more

Lafayette Park - Blackberry Lemon Tart - Hotels Near Me - Lafayette, California

See all

Unfortunately, our stay at this hotel was disappointing from start to finish. Check-in isn't until 4 PM, which feels unnecessarily late, especially when check-out is as early as 11 AM--barely giving you time to enjoy the stay. The lobby was uncomfortably hot, making the wait even worse. The hotel didn't seem prepared to accommodate families or larger groups, especially at the pool, which is really the only amenity worth mentioning. It was overcrowded, chaotic, and not at all relaxing or fun for kids. If you're traveling with a family and looking for a comfortable, kid-friendly experience, I'd recommend skipping this place altogether read more

First time staying here was during our wedding. We stayed for a couple nights to relax and everything was perfect. We stayed at the La Marquis Suite and we used the room for getting ready with my bridesmaids. Room was huge! Separate bedroom and living room. Lots of light which was great for my hairstylist and makeup artist. The pool was great. Terence at the pool was very attentive, refilling our waters and asking if we needed anything. Would definitely come back for staycation or anniversary. read more

Lafayette Park - Hotels Near Me - Lafayette, California

My daughter and I came here to attend a Christmas party given by my former company and as a venue for the event, the place was wonderful! The festive decor was fitting to the warmth of the Yuletide season. Service was never lacking and always present for refills and servicing tables of the used flatware. There was valet and self-parking available. I went for the underground self-parking (which was free), but the stalls were a bit too small. Markings on the spots were mostly for compact vehicles, but I think that even a compact vehicle would find these spots a bit tight. Lucky enough, I got a non-compact spot (very rare find) and fitted my mid-size nicely. It's a great place to hold company events. Classy, comfortable and feels very inviting, especially when we were there to celebrate the Christmas season! read more

I Don't usually write review on Hotel, but once in the blue moon I do write a quick and short review. 1) The hotel is fancy, elegant and very well design and gorgeous floor plan. 2) Valet parking: good so your car is safe and secure. Down fall will be cost. 3) Hotel staffs were nice and professional and treat all their guests with up most respect. 4) The hotel room was nice and clean. Bed was comfy and the fire place is awesome... The down fall is there are lots of small wear and tear in the vast groom that need to be updated. Overall, it's a great place to stay and enjoy a weekend get away or business trip. read more

I am definitely a regular here!!! Pre-pandemic I use to have Wednesdays off and they offered discounts on treatments to encourage people to come in on the week days. I went every couple of months. Now I go as a treat whenever I feel stressed... which is often! I've had massages, facials too...but what I love the most are their body wraps. The wild flower wrap starts with your entire body being exfoliated, then lathered up with a fantastic moisturizer. And a nice massage right before you're wrapped up like a cocoon. Then they finish was a scalp and shoulder massage. I absolutely love this place and try to bring as many people with me as possible. Had my birthday here with 4 of my girlfriends. I buy gift cards as gifts for special women in my life. Seriously. Anyone I talk to, I tell them to stay local instead of driving to Napa and spending 3 times the price. read more

Do yourself a favor and go :) amazing staff food ambiance good energy good music love the hotel too!

Review for the spa--I am absolutely floating after my massage with Fiona today, one of the best massages I've ever had. She was amazing, and checked in often about pressure, style, etc so I really got exactly the massage I wanted (sometimes it can be hard to speak up in the moment, she made it really easy!). Exceptionally skilled and wonderful communication, can't recommend her enough. Thank you so much, Fiona! read more

Miscommunication upon my booking that i just learned was my fault. Totally fine, i take full responsibility. But pretty confusing being that their staff member called me this morning to confirm my booking, where we then learned about the issue at hand. I was told I'd receive a call back by 1pm, which never came. So i called back to resolve my reservation issue. Was then passed on to the director named Randy. This gentleman was so rude! Super condescending on the phone and talking to me like i was uneducated. Super unprofessional! Have heard many great things about this spa but unfortunately that was not the treatment i was met with on the phone. Maybe i caught him in a bad moment, either way super displeased after that phone call. Do better Randy! read more

Always impeccable food and service. The conference rooms are comfortable and quiet. I've used the spa here, it was ok, the area was cramped and no real relaxation space. I would definitely come back for work events. Free underground parking. read more

This is NOT a review for the hotel--only the restaurant. My family lives nearby and we frequent the restaurant for breakfast with our kids. The food is always great...then inevitably we enter and leave with a bad taste in our mouths because the hostess is an absolute dark cloud. I've never seen her smile; she is generally inattentive--will ignore lines of people waiting to be seated; and she has zero interest in creating a pleasant atmosphere for the guests. At first I thought she just didn't like kids; but I soon realized she treats all guests of all ages the same way. It is such a bummer and is starting to make us not want to continue dining here as a family. I highly recommend the hotel take some steps to remedy the situation. read more

This place is pretty, but the food was mostly icky. The crab cake was not made with fresh crab, it had to be canned. It tasted disgusting and I couldn't even eat it. We also ordered the charcuterie plate. The salami tasted like it was past its expiration date and was inedible. My husband ordered halibut which was overcooked and dry. I ordered scallops which were pretty good. All in all, I don't recommend this restaurant at all. Your money is better spent at any of the great restaurants in the East Bay. read more

Staff gets a 5. Very friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. A special shout out to Ed who went above & beyond. I would like to see more places I go to achieve this level of customer service. The building though was being updated which though welcome was noisy. There was work going on which I wish was mentioned beforehand. They were mindful enough not to put anyone on the floor below the workers but unfortunately even 2 floors down I could hear drills, hammering, ect. For that a 3. I was there for quiet healing so thankfully they were gracious enough to move me. Hopefully once renovations are complete the hotel will be the sanctuary for others that I had hoped for and it can receive a 5 all around. read more

The ambiance of the hotel is lovely but I found it really lacking when it came to hospitality, at least as far as the front desk goes. We got zero warmth upon arrival -- in fact I would go as far as to say that it was one of the worst receptions I've ever received ... it wasn't hostile, it just felt like I was walking up to a window of the DMV, not checking into a really pricey suite at an upscale hotel. The suite we stayed in was super underwhelming despite it supposedly being one of the nicest suites in the hotel. There were some nice touches, such as a couple complimentary things but it was super disappointing. The next day we had a nice experience at breakfast, as all of the servers and food service people were very sweet and super professional but here's what happened next: the hospitality took a serious nosedive when, as we were getting ready to check out, I got an episode of Tacychardia. I had my daughter call the front desk to explain I had this condition and couldn't really move until it passed but she was told that the manager had told them under no circumstances to let anyone stay past checkout. Here I was -- my heart rate was past 200 and I had to stress about getting out of the room before it converted. Ultimately, my brother and daughter spoke to someone in person and they said I could stay longer but at that point I had already dragged myself out of the hotel room, barely being able to breathe as I slowly made my way out. Did anyone ask if I was ok or offer anything during this time? Absolutely not. What happened next is a cosmic joke: I have an electric Mercedes and I locked my keys in the car with my phone. I was unable, despite trying over and over again in the garage, to get my car open. I spent four hours dealing with Mercedes to deal with it (luckily my brother took my daughter shopping during this ordeal and literally no one except for the bell hop (who was amazing) showed me any sympathy or even offered me anything. They didn't even bother to acknowledge me at all. I am not one of these people who thinks service people are slighting me left and right -- in fact, it's extremely rare for me to find problems with customer service but I almost felt like I was in a Soviet bloc hotel circa 1980 with the indifference and lack of hospitality I felt. Seriously. Again, the pool area and general ambiance were lovely but wow, they need a personnel overhaul. The other serious ding is their shoddy WiFi set up. It's unsecured and super weak and there is no excuse for either of those in this day and age. Invest in better routers and boosters and set your system up so that guests actually have to sign in. This hotel is in the SF Bay Area, not Alabama! I would never return here because my experience was pretty much the opposite of what you would hope to receive at any hotel/spa. You want to be nurtured and given respite and warmth. This is what the hospitality industry is all about but other than the servers and the bell hop I did not find that here. read more

Nothing but fantastic service and experience as a hotel guest, in the restaurant, and from Rene, the head of their engineering/ repair team. Last month February, I stayed at the hotel for a girls weekend. We had amazing massages, ate in the restaurant twice and had a great experience. I enjoyed the service and food at the restaurant so much, I've been back three other times with friends and family. I went for my fourth visit yesterday with my family for my mother's 83rd birthday. As we were leaving, my daughter dropped her cell phone between the gap of the elevator and the floor. The front desk took all of our information, and an hour later I received a call from Rene on his day off (Saturday). He said he would do his best to get into the elevator shaft and retrieve her phone on Monday. If he couldn't, he would call to and find how much it would cost for the elevator repair company to come out. The very next day, he came in on Sunday retrieved my daughter's phone. Thank you Rene for going above and beyond! read more

The hotel is lovely in many ways - clean and attractively decorated. The rooms are spacious with a seating area near the window and bathroom is clean and roomy and stocked with basics. Towels are large and soft. The mattresses are in need of updating- they were both a bit lumpy and hard and the pillows, though numerous, were all pretty firm which made for an uncomfortable sleep since I like a very soft pillow. Check in service was very easy - they were able to let me go to the room an hour early. No help with luggage was offered. Parking (no valet service) was $25 per night. I stayed here because I was attending a wedding reception here. That was great - food, drinks, passed appetizers were all top notch. The dry sauna, hot tub and pool were lovely and added to my stay. Unfortunately I was unable to book spa services on the same day of my stay - if you wish to do that, plan ahead! read more

I've never stayed at this hotel. However several friends and I dined there for lunch today. Because our party was 11 in total we had reserved a large table in a private room. We sat down at 11:20 am and were not served until 12:38! We were only served water during this time and at 12:38 our starters r arrived with our drink orders. Those who had not ordered a starter had to watch us eat until their orders arrived, about 1:00. During this long wait time we were not offered bread nor a complementary glass of wine. Nor did we ever see a dessert menu. There are many excellent restaurants in the Walnut Creek/Lafayette area. This is not one of them. read more

Clean, quaint and quiet with comfy beds and all the toiletry extras you need. Great breakfast and service too! Just what we needed after a long travel day. read more

Don't waste your money. I wish I had read the reviews before doing a quick getaway with a friend here recently. So many issues. They don't offer valet parking anymore and they also don't communicate that to customers. I arrived close to my spa appointment and was hoping to have my car parked. There wasn't a valet attendant in sight or even a sign to communicate it's no longer offered. I understand we're still coming out of the pandemic but a message about no valet service would be perfect in the email that confirms my reservation. The parking lot is super steep on both sides and I have manual transmission. Then I had to pay $25 for this challenging parking situation. Also, the food is terrible! I couldn't believe how low the quality was. Who is preparing this food? Send them back to culinary school immediately. I had requested a quiet room and I got that with a nice view of the cemetery. Isn't that uplifting? After I parked my car I made my way into the lobby, hoping I could check in quickly so I could drop my bag off at the room and get to the spa. As I approached the line a woman was backing up very fast and almost right into me. I gently placed my hand of her back and said "Watch out." She turned to look at me and this energy of rage just radiated off of her. When I could take in more of the room, I could see she was a wedding photographer taking pictures of a bride and groom on the stairs. I hadn't had time to see what was happening (there was a crowd watching too) or I would have just moved out of the way. Her look and energy could have turned me into a pile of ashes. Classy! The spa treatment was good but the spa is very small. I won't be returning to this hotel. The lack of communication of important details, the low-quality food paired with the ultra-high prices (I paid $12 for a bottle of water in my room) just isn't worth it. What a disappointment. read more

I've stayed here several times for business conferences and travel. I'm not doing air bnb this weekend so decided to come here again. The hotel and rooms are extremely nice, fresh and clean, and have a charming vibe to them. The service is pleasant and helpful, and the cuisine is excellent. My weekday stays were surprisingly affordable, providing fantastic value. I haven't yet visited the spa; perhaps next time. read more

We opted to stay here rather than in the city during our SF stop on road-trip because we didn't want to have to deal with the parking situation with having some extra stuff in our car from our travels. It cost the same to stay here as our choice of hotel in the city and here we had way more space plus access to the pool/jacuzzi. We were so glad we made this decision, the drive to the city was so close and it was much more relaxing to come home to the jacuzzi after our day in the city than to be stuck in a small hotel room if we had stayed there instead. It is very quaint and felt clean and safe. read more

Very nice Sunday brunch at the Lafayette. First of all, go valet or you can self park in the garage. I advise you make reservations. If you have a bigger party there is a room for you close to the entrance. The workers are very nice and attentive. The brunch is open til 2, with a entree you can chose off their menu. There is a variety of a bit of everything for the fruit and salad lovers. Do you have a sweet tooth... their chocolate bread pudding and bite size bites are perfect. Nice array of sliced meats and cheeses. I really liked their shrimp cocktail and smoked salmon. Don't fill up on the brunch Buffett cause you definitely want to have room for your entree. This place is a family favorite. And we always look forward to coming here. read more

My husband & I wanted to do something fun for our 1st wedding anniversary but didn't want to drive far. We had been doing an exercise challenge for 5 weeks (30 minutes of cardio every day + 5 workouts at the gym per week). We were pretty sore so we decided, why not get a massage! We booked a couples massage 3 weeks in advance & scheduled it for the end of the day. They book up 4-5 weeks in advance in the summer, so make sure you plan accordingly. They only had 2 available time slots the day I requested. We arrived an hour early so we could enjoy the pool, hot tub & sauna. We went in August so the weather was perfect. Lots of people at the pool but still room for us to find 2 empty chaise lounges. If we wanted to eat/order drinks there was a nice waitress walking around assisting all the guests. We didn't order anything but all the food looked great. Pool was clean & the sauna was perfect temperature. When it was our time, we went into change & waited in the relaxation area until our masseuses arrived. They walked us to a room that was in the main building, just a couple steps from the pool entrance. We really enjoyed the experience - even received a glass of champagne at the end. Our only complaint was my husband's masseuse could have done a better job but I think my husband should have spoke up (he's not used to getting massages). Overall I would give this place 4.5 stars for the value. read more

The rooms need to be updated, the Wi-Fi needs to be updated, they need new beds as sinking down in a hole on one side! Dinner was delicious, however, after the server took my order I had to walk out of the restaurant to even see him again They charge for parking for guests , but not for people who are dining, they say it's the honor system. I said how would you know if I was a guest or dining? They said well you just told us you're staying here and your parking so we're charging you $25. There's just a lot of things that need to be managed here. I hope they can get it together to make it a better experience. read more
