This is a nice little motel in a rather strange location, practically under the freeway. However, the rooms are large, the parking lot is spacious and spots are always free and available. There is ivy growing along the walkway to the rooms so you feel a bit like you are in a garden although you are not far from the... More

I checked in a 4 night stay. The reception staff were very efficient. The room is adequate though a Bit dated but very clean and with comfortable bed. Loads of restaurants nearby and you should definitely try the Kacha Thai Bistro 10 minute walk from the hotel for a sublime meal. Breakfast is simple but adequate. I only wished they... More

We needed a motel room close to our son's home in Lafayette, Ca. The only rooms in Lafayette are nearly $200 starting rates! The Mount Diablo Inn is just 3 miles from the son's place so was the perfect location. It is a old style motel in Walnut Creek The staff was very helpful and caring. The morning continental breakfast... More

If you want to have the worse customer service in the whole world stay here. They're extremely rude and they don't care even if you booked a room here on a regular basis. I will never stay here and will never recommend anyone.

My daughter lives within walking distance of this cute little hotel. She and I went to look at it, thinking it might be a great place for me to stay when I visit her. I loved the place -- lots of charm for a great price and excellent location. So I booked a 3-night stay via phone two months in... More

This is a short walk to the shops and restaurants downtown and right off the freeway. Very helpful service from Chance getting us into a room with our canine traveling companion. Clean and well maintained but cant hide the fact that its a 1950s era motel. Outside is maily just a big parking lot with a fenced pool in the... More

A good motel for value, IF you don't plan to sleep! The proximity to I-680 freeway destroys any sense of calm! I heard every truck rolling by like it was in the room. No fault of the owners, nothing they can do but move the whole motel. Too bad, nice staff.

The lobby is warm and welcoming. When I went to room, it was unique. Bed was comfortable. there was little bit traffic from the highway, but was manageable. The location was convenient from the highway, and there are many restaurants nearby. I will recommend this nice motel to anybody.

I booked this motel after reading reviews on TripAdvisor and because I like to stay in more "boutique" properties. I also liked the fact that one can easily walk to downtown Walnut Creek for dining and shopping. I was surprised at the high volume of freeway noise, especially since it sits below the freeway and noise usually rises. A couple... More
