We have stayed at this hotel several times. It is in a central location to larger cities and shopping locations. Although an older hotel, it is still clean and off a busy but quiet street. The breakfast is more of a Grab n Go snacks ie: fruit, water, coffee and pastries. However, there are eateries directly across the street from the hotel that are reasonably prices.

10% tax on top of the expedia charge? That's not supposed to happen, but I wanted the room real bad so I signed it.

All in all the place is what I expected for the price. Bed was comfy enough, towels were soft and clean, AC was noisy, room was stuffy / slept with the window open. Not well maintained.

The place is beautiful and the front desk attendant was very polite. As a woman arriving very late and staying alone, I did feel safe, which I appreciated.
Unfortunately, the bedding was not clean. The pillows were visibly dirty—one looked like it had been stepped on with a dirty shoe. Shortly after getting into bed, I became itchy and believe I was bitten, which made it impossible to sleep comfortably. I have sensitive skin and could tell dust had accumulated.
I barely slept due to this and was very disappointed, as cleanliness is non-negotiable.

Someone was smoking outside the room and the smell just came through. Have people smoke in designated areas. When I checked out the lady at the desk saw me waiting and she was on her cell phone for 4 minutes. She did not acknowledge me. This was at 10 A.M. on Tuesday 1/6. I stayed at the Economy Inn next door 6 year ago and the service was way better.

The thermostat control system had a “service required” on display so I could not make the room warmer and then I couldn’t get warm water in shower. Once I was in bed I was warm and slept great!
It was a short stay on the way to my final destination. If I was expecting a longer stay, I would have requested another room, but in this case it wasn’t a big bother.

I was accused of smoking marijuana in the hotel room which I never did smoke any marijuana in the hotel room also due to my son both my kids actually have chronic asthma I smoke away from them and my card is repeatedly charged I've been there two weeks plus they clearly see me smoking outside all of a sudden I'm moving to my place today and you guys want to be weird. Why wait now, maids have horrible attitude the front desk reeks and smells like nothing but cigarettes and smoke they're always lacking on towels and have an attitude if I ask for a new set for a new day like they expect me to use the dirty ones never want to give me a washcloth like I'm supposed to use my hand I clean the room I take out my own trash all I ask is for towels and this is what I have to go through horrible will never go back but yet you have meth heads and prostitutes running all through the hotel day and night and I'm the one that gets problems and I'm a single mother with kids doing nothing not even there half the time once again horrible stay and I will never do it again

Front desk staff were welcoming and friendly!
There’s a Safeway and some restaurants directly across the street within walking distance which was nice. I did not have a vehicle during my stay, so that was really convenient! I didn’t venture further down the street because I was there for just one night, but I think there may have been some more restaurants.
Good sidewalks & traffic lights to keep you safe if you have to hoof it!

Dropped off my son at Cal for his second year. I’ve always stayed here when I travel to the East Bay Area. There is a Safeway across the street. Near downtown Castro Valley for restaurants and entertainment. Will continue staying here.

There is a shopping center across the street with a few easy eating options (we chose Panda Express). There was a good frozen yogurt option for dessert. If you want to \"fend for yourself\", there is a large Safeway Supermarket with lots to choose from.

The slow check-in was due to an illness in the primary front desk person so I am assuming it was temporary. The staff was friendly and when we needed help with the TV, they responded quickly. Clean, neat accommodations which fit our needs and a good quality bed.

Breakfast was absolutely lame. Milk was not cold. Apple juice and orange juice were all but undrinkable due to being VERY watered down. That was orange flavored WATER. NOT juice.

No microwave at all to heat food. No waffle or any other breakfast option besides warm cereal and half-stale pastries. Staff DID NOT CARE when questioned about these problems.

Door to room had MULTIPLE gaps you could see straight outside through. This caused the heater to constantly be switching on and off all night long causing a very uncomfortable rest period.

Sink water in room never got cold. It was barely drinkable as it was coming out barely below room temperature.

I’ve stayed at this location three times when I’ve visited my son at Cal Berkeley. The property is well maintained and staff are always welcoming. The manager is a nice gentlemen who provides good service. There is a Safeway supermarket across the street with a great deli of hot and cold foods. I will continue to stay here whenever I visit the East Bay Area.

Horrible hotel!

Dirty. Stains on pillow cases, cigarette burns on bed comforter. Mold in shower. Stains on wall near toilet! Hair on towels. Uncomfortable bed. I left after 1 night it was so bad. Hotel refused to refund me for my 2nd night. Rude staff. Don’t stay here!

The check in small space smells really bad, like tobacco and some other odors that I can’t describe, it makes you think if you made a mistake reserving in this hotel, thankfully the room it was clean.
The receptionist was friendly though.
Will strongly recommend to fix that odor issue.
