SureStay Hotel by Best Western Castro Valley

The front desk receptionist provided exceptional service, being pleasant, quick, and extremely helpful. However, it was regrettable that the room I stayed in was unsatisfactory. The bedding emitted odor, reminiscent of someone who had used tiger balm or eucalyptus oil, and it appeared that the bedding hadn’t been changed. Additionally, the carpet was worn-out and sticky. Although I considered requesting a different room, exhaustion got the better of me and I ended up using my own bedsheet to sleep on. I strongly encourage the hotel to enhance the training of their housekeeping staff to ensure a higher standard of cleanliness.

The room had a really bad smell. The room also has a weird layout. The price was decent, but I guess you get what you pay for. Breakfast is a boxed apple pie and boxes of cereal.

I tried to check in at about 1:30 and the young woman told me I had to come back at 3:00. I wasn't expecting to get access to the room, I just wanted to check in so I wouldn't have to do it later. I think she just didn't want to deal with it and she knew she would be off shift by then. I had to make a special trip back at 3 and the older gentleman there checked me in and was very helpful. I later found out that other people were able to check in before three so that was a little disappointing. Other than that the hotel was great. Very clean.

The room was well equipped with a larger fridge, microwave, small table, large bathroom counter. Bed was rather firm but I did sleep well. The pillows were descent too. Our neighbors were playing music, not too loud but it was tough to sleep, but at 11 it went quiet, no other noise. So we were super grateful.

the towel is even dirty and bloody on it. never will go again

Had a household emergency and family needed a room for the night. Came in late (after 10pm) and the night clerk was very friendly and helpful. He was able to give us nice room, quickly. Room was very spacious and clean. Enjoyed coffee and breakfast snacks the next morning. Overall, a pleasant experience.

The young lady at the front desk was nice and helpful.

The front desk clerk said ******* didn’t send them my booking so I waited 15 minutes looking for my booking - means ******* is not good

A basic hotel at a reasonable price. Large grocery store across street. Plus a few small restaurants. Nothing else within walking distance.
