Top hotels in Downtown Walnut Creek
Walnut Creek Marriott
The room was comfortable and clean. The beds were comfy and the staff were very nice. We walked there from BART at about a 10 minute walk. The bar area was very nice but $18 per person for a breakfast buffet was a little steep.

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay
We enjoyed our stay at the Marina Inn. Clean rooms, friendly staff, and excellent location if you’re looking to be just far enough away from the hustle & bustle. Love that they provide a complimentary shuttle to the Oakland Airport. We look forward to staying here again soon!
