Courtyard by Marriott Concord Walnut Creek

Amazing all around.

The room & the hallways smelled as if the carpets needed cleaning. Staff members were pleasant & courteous - no complaints there. I did see broken glass from a vehicle in the front parking lot. I asked at check-in and the lady stated that a vehicle was vandalized the night before, the security guard was not present at that time. That was my main concern so I would go outside and check on my vehicle. Nothing happened to my vehicle, thank goodness!

I did not try the small continental breakfast as it is only served til 9 & I chose to sleep in during my stay. I was disappointed that they are changing to a Marriott & doing major construction, so we were not allowed to go to the back entrance near the elevator, so I had to walk across the atrium to reach the elevators. The rooms overlooking the airport (my favorite) were not available. Will be interesting to see what happens next Christmas.

I only stay here because it’s convenient to the convention held there. The food is mediocre and their included breakfast was cereal and toast. There are 2 Denny’s not a mile away so I just had a $7 breakfast at one of those. I was also sure I reserved a room with a walk in shower but when I checked in I found a tub/shower combo. That meant I needed assistance getting in and out to bathe. And even at that I slipped getting out and rammed my shoulder into the wall before I hit the floor.
