impossibly loud and busy, the windows don't fully seal, the hotel caters to itinerant construction workers whose shifts begin in the middle of the night, there is a 2 inch gap at the base of the room's door allowing light and noise in, the walls are thin and the heat is not adequately controllable by individuals.

Very solid service throughout our stay. Nice clean room (however the fridge in the room was very noisy throughout the night). Convenient location. However, our initial check-in experience was terrible. Thom checked us in at 7:20 PM on Nov 29th. It took over 20 minutes to receive our room keys. He kept repeatedly questioning if my girlfriend and I were married and specifically mentioned there would be legality issues to stay here if we weren’t. We felt extremely uncomfortable. He also ignored us in the middle of checking us in to help another guest. The main reason I am not giving this hotel 5 stars is because of this awful unprofessional check-in experience.

The Holiday Inn Express in Walnut Creek is a nice hotel, and our third stay. We can walk to several restaurants, Walgreens & Starbucks. The rooms are clean, comfortable with an elongated chair, clothes closet, as well as other amenities. The breakfast is very good. I liked the egg, cheese & chiles petite omelette. Enjoyed our stay.

Our stay was lovely. Comfy, clean bedroom! The staff accommodated our volleyball boys and served breakfast earlier, on a Sat. and Sun., than planned so we could get them on the court all feed. One of my best experiences has been staying at this location. Everyone was accommodating and friendly.

Almost excellent
I would have rated this hotel excellent except for a couple of problems. First, I was not told at the time of booking that parking was an additional charge. Second, the first night of my stay in room 243 the whole floor vibrated, present whether lying, sitting, or standing. Gone by the morning.

Nice room, but surprise parking fees.
The room was clean and comfortable and the morning breakfast was excellent, but there was no mention of parking fees and taxes until we arrived.
