    Marriott Concierge Lounge Hours and Entrance
    Jonathan S.

    My family and I stayed at the Walnut Creek Marriott 1 night on a Saturday (9/27/25) because I had a free night certificate to use that was expiring and we did not have time to go too far. Check-in was simple and quick. The hotel did not seem busy other than there was a wedding party happening, but no major room upgrade was offered other than the standard Concierge Lounge access (Platinum Bonvoy members and higher). I did ask if there was any upgrades when checking in and either the guy checking me in did not understand me or did not hear me and was basically ignored. It was just for 1 night, it was not that big of a deal. Location: Not far from downtown Walnut Creek (~1 mile away), walkable, but for those that want to drive I recommend driving to Target and park in their parking structure (free). Across the street from the hotel are the Bugatti, Bentley and McLaren dealerships. There are a a few walkable restaurants nearby, but you can find better restaurants downtown. Hotel: A little dated, but gets the job done if you just want a decent place to spend the night. Overall, I find that this hotel is "no frills and no thrills!" Parking: No self parking available. It is Valet only at $34/night. Valet was very quick in retrieving my car. Concierge Lounge: Free access for Platinum (and higher) Bonvoy Members. Pretty basic lounge offerings. In the evening, it does not seem like anyone comes and cleans the lounge much. I went in after checking in to grab a drink and there was mess at the cereal station and came back after a few hours after going out for dinner and a workout in the fitness center and the mess was still there. Most Marriott M Lounges are kept up much better. Room: Standard 2 Queen Bedroom with standard amenities. Overall was clean, but the grout in the bathroom was pretty dirty and could use a good steam cleaning. We had a nice view of the roof and wall, which I find is not acceptable for Platinum and higher Bonvoy members. Fitness Center/Pool: The fitness center was a good size and had plenty of equipment. There is a water station and towels provided. The bathroom has a lockers and a shower if you choose to shower after your workout before heading back to your room which I find unnecessary. The pool is outdoors. I did not check if it was heated. I do not believe there was a hot tub. Overall, this Marriott is really just a hair above a Courtyard Marriott or Four Points Sheraton. If I was to stay in Walnut Creek again, I would probably try the Residence Inn instead of this Marriott. If you are Platinum or higher Bonvoy member, I hope you have better luck at getting a better room/view than we did.

    I stayed here over the holidays and my stay was wonderful. I have to mention a few names for being kind, personable, and welcoming. My check in was with Pierre. Even when the room had a shower issue, he tried to get me in another room with a better shower, we walked through one but the shower head situation was the same (protruding non-secured shower head). Hopefully upgrades are coming because even maintenance couldn't fully secure it when they came to my room. Very weird but the outlet was also upside down, I run an electrical contracting business and this is not correct to do lol Concierge breakfast/lounge was really awesome! The staff there were so kind and truly catered to all the patrons. There was Anna, Nazia, and one other young man who was so precious! I'm so grateful to have had such genuine conversations with them. Nazia and my children truly bonded. It was really sweet. The one thing downside is the valet parking, which they force you to utilize and pay for. Although everyone in valet were respectful and kind, (Ad and David specifically) I didn't used the service, as I preferred to drive my own car and they still tried to charge me for parking.

    First view and room was loud

    This is unfortunately another hotel to strike off the list As a Marriott Ambassador member I will have to skip this brand while in Walnut Creek and move to Hilton as their Garden Inn is far better besides location. I don't ask for much - did not ask for an upgrade - all I needed was the room I booked - two Queens with a bath as I currently have a broken foot. First room had a shower, second was a disabled room with no counters in the bathroom, it overlooked a concrete wall and was loud, due to a generator and it being adjoining. The next morning we asked to be moved and were put in another room with a completely obscured view of the bar and a concrete beam! The hotel was packed with Duke players and their families and the bar was certainly not quiet so room 4 - yes great fun with a broken foot was better - albeit it with a view of an apartment wall! That's what staying 120 nights a year and near 30k annual spend gets you ! But it was quiet and was the room type we booked! That was all we asked for! Finally frustrated by the lack of action - we reached out to the Marriott Ambassador line - they were told by the hotel that they had showed us 12 rooms and none were acceptable which was not only absurd but with a broken foot, not even doable! They have however offered us points for the inconvenience! It was miserable for the first 24 hours BUT David at the Valet was lovely and very helpful!

    We came here for a staycation and the ocktober fest. The check in was quick and easy. You can only really valet your car which is an extra cost. The room was big and clean. Aside from it smelling a bit like smoke. I absolutely loved the black out shades. I think this is great as you don't get woken up by bright light coming through. The lighting in the bathroom is not good at all and bathroom feels like a bit of an afterthought in the remodel they did. Bed was comfortable and not too much outside noise can be heard. The lobby is huge and our check out was very easy and quick. Overall for what we were looking for it was good and everyone we talked to was friendly.

    ADarius, Elaina & Lindsey were very attentive to my special needs. Although we ran into a couple of issues, they each found quick solutions & made my stay more enjoyable. The food is delicious. The service was great! The hotel smelt very good and was clean. Five stars. Great team.

    My view from my room - interesting!

    Stayed here for a daytime sleep before an overnight video shoot. Comfy bed, clean, totally adequate. Only downside - really short staffed - no room service. Let me know that the staff had called out and I could buy a plate from the buffet. So I did that, but the buffet was also super sold out and short staffed. So I got a mini pastry and two sausages for I believe $38 bucks. Neither a pro or a con, but my room was like an interior cabin on a cruise ship with a window view of the lobby. All things considered the room was comfy and I got a few good hours of sleep before a long overnight. However, were I on a vacation, I'd probably feel much differently.

    people could come up and look into our room since our window was facing indoor view of the hotel. We had keep it closed the entire time.

    Our stay at the Marriott Walnut Creek was overall good. The staff were all nice and helpful. The front desk, valet, and cleaning staff were friendly. We were disappointed by the room. We chose this hotel because the room pictures looked spacious and showed a large window, and the hotel looked nice overall. We reserved a room with a king bed. We were given a small room behind the elevator with a small window that faced an indoor wall, and people could walk up to our window and see into the room, specifically right over the bed, so we had to keep it closed the whole visit. The room had an awkward layout with lots of angles that felt cramped. The floor pieces were coming apart, showing whatever was under the wood panels. The bed was comfortable, and the breakfast buffet was good. The location was convenient for walking to the BART. The hotel itself did not seem overly full, so we are not sure why we got this small corner room. It was dog friendly but not a lot of good outdoor areas to take your dog out. You need to walk around the building to look for some good flat grassy areas.

    Very cheap valet prices
    Joe K.

    if you want to get nickled and dimed in a bad area of town, stay here. Its loud and right on a main street. You wont get much sleep here. My favorite part is no self parking. With a valet fee of $35 plus tip. Theres no other options. And hopefully your car is there in the morning.

    Some say guest parking is free, some say it is about $20 per night? Which one is correct?

    The hotel does currently charge $23/Night for Valet parking (as of August 2017) and is the only parking option, unless you use their complimentary vehicle charging stations.

    Do you have shuttle service to airport and around? How do you charge for the service?

    I was treated unfairly makes me wonder was it my skin color…read more I am requesting assistance regarding my stay at Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa from June 26-29, 2026. I reserved and prepaid $977.28 through the AAA Travel website for a Premium Two King Beds room. My confirmation clearly states that I purchased a Premium Two King Beds room. Before traveling, I also called the hotel directly to verify my reservation, and I was assured everything was confirmed. Upon arrival, I was informed that my room type was no longer available. Instead of the two king beds I had reserved and paid for, I was given a room with only one king bed and a rollaway bed. I was traveling with my elderly mother and my adult daughter. Because the rollaway bed was not suitable for my daughter, my mother had to sleep on the rollaway bed for our three-night stay. This was not the room I purchased, and it significantly affected our comfort during our trip. I immediately asked whether another room was available or whether the hotel could provide a discount or other accommodation. I was told the hotel was sold out and that nothing could be done. The staff was not empathetic and repeatedly stated that because I had booked through a third party, there was nothing they could do. After returning home, I contacted the hotel again. During that conversation, I was told that I had been "bumped" because I booked through a third party and that had I booked directly through the hotel, they would have honored my reservation. I find this unacceptable. My reservation was confirmed, paid in full, and verified directly with the hotel before my arrival. Guests should not receive inferior accommodations simply because they booked through an authorized travel partner such as AAA. I respectfully request: * A partial refund for failing to provide the room category I paid for. * A written explanation as to why my confirmed reservation was not honored. * An explanation of the hotel's policy regarding confirmed reservations made through AAA and other authorized travel agencies. I have already opened a case with AAA Travel and hope this matter can be resolved promptly and fairly.

The customer service here is excellent -- the front desk staff are friendly, welcoming, and truly try to help. Based on service alone, this would be a 5-star experience. Special recognition goes to Tom, who consistently delivers outstanding, five-star hospitality. He is a major asset to this hotel. Unfortunately, the physical condition of the property significantly brings down the overall experience. The rooms are very outdated, with worn furnishings and visible maintenance issues. On my most recent stay in room 153, the bed was very uncomfortable, the furnishings looked worn, and the bathroom had major problems. The shower/tub did not drain properly, water backed up quickly, and there were rusted fixtures, blotchy paint, and very poor ventilation. The heavily fragranced Dove products were also overpowering. Wi-Fi was extremely poor, especially in room 153, making it difficult to get any work done without using my phone's hotspot. This is a serious issue for business travelers. Breakfast is a bright spot -- the staff in the breakfast area are professional and kind, the food is fresh, and there is a good variety. However, the TV playing strongly political news in the morning is not appropriate for a shared dining space and detracts from an otherwise pleasant experience. Key card issues were another frustration. On both stays, I had repeated problems with cards not working, requiring multiple trips to the front desk. With renovations, better maintenance, and some operational improvements, this hotel could better reflect IHG standards and match the excellent service provided by staff like Tom. Unfortunately, due to the current condition, I likely will not be staying at this location again.

So, out here in Walnut Creek suburbs it's all safe at night. This place has underground parking so the car won't get hot in the sun, but this time of year not so much of concern. The hotel is easy enough to find, but to get to most of the parking you have to circle the hotel and go down a weird alleyway. Check in was fine and I got my rewards points posted just fine. The room was pretty standard and clean, it gets the job done with working WiFi so I can get work done and a shower with decent water pressure and endless hot water. The breakfast is good and pretty much the same at all the IHG Holiday Inn Express locations. Good hot foods, like omelet thingies, potatoes and all kinds of stuff to toast. I do gotta love those cinnamon rolls all the Holiday Inns have!

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 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!

For the price being $125 a night is not even close to being worth a cheap stay! We were so upset with the room we were given, that they let us move to another room on the opposite side of the hotel and if anything it was worse. Upon entry of the new room there were dead cockroaches on the exterior of the room and inside live ones. I hope you read this before you even think to book a stay here. After seeing the condition of the second room offered, I demanded my refund back and that nite we left aimlessly driving around the East bay at 11pm looking for a sanitary place to lay my child's head down. It was a traumatizing encounter! HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND this place. I reached out to Contra Costa county health department to report what we encountered and they said this was not their only complaint on this hotel , it was actually there 2nd complaint that week!! I hope they get this place shut down and fix these issues. Walnut Creek is a great beautiful city it is does not need a place like this in business in their city limits!!!!!
