This is an older hotel in a convenient location. Despite its age, it has been consistently clean each time I've stayed here, over the course of the past few years. It is right next to the freeway, but I run the fan at night so I've never been kept awake by the traffic. The hotel is within walking distance of... more

Our family was directed to this motel by the hospital where my sister was recovering from an automobile accident. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. They were very sensitive to our needs and went out of their way to make this experience as easy as possible. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We had a room with a... more

We have stayed at the Diablo Mountain Inn before, generally in conjunction with visits to my mother in Walnut Creek. The rooms are nice and we love the breakfast they put out. This last visit, however, they outdid themselves. We stayed in Room 114, which is a nice room with a convenient alcove for suitcases at the back. The bed,... more

For the past year I have commuted from LA to the SF Bay area, specifically to Walnut Creek where my office is located. I always stay at the Diablo Mountain Inn. I don't need anything fancy, don't need a "name brand" hotel, or one that is a carbon copy of hotels I've stayed in throughout the country. I need a... more

My wife and I stayed at this place when we came to the Bay Area recently to attend a family event. An unsightly garbage dumpster was placed right next to the only stairway available... and the room was decorated in what WE call "early hand-me-downs". If you want to be reminded of your college days you will feel right at... more

My husband and I stayed here about three years ago (Sept. 2003) and remembered it as a very easy (and clean) place to stay. The decor leaves a lot to be desired with mismatched styles of furnishings, etc. You can park your car in front of your room, so you don't have to carry your luggage down long hallways like... more

Please do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere. I've stayed at all kinds of motels and hotels and this was by far the worst experience I ever had. The hotel is on the highway and extremely noisy. The toilet didn't work. The smoke detector was covered in plastic. The staff was extremely rude (when we inquired about the toilet), insisting... more

Very, VERY noisy as it is below a freeway - even in our "quiet" room in the corner. However, the air conditioning unit drowned out the traffic noise! The pool area was quite dirty, probably from pollution dropping from the freeway, anyway, reading a book by the pool was not an option because of the traffic noise. An airport runway... more

A good choice for the budget-minded. The accomodations are basic, small, a bit aged, but clean. The bathroom was clean and had been updated recently. Whatever ambiance might have been achieved was lost when we saw some sort of insect traps scattered throughout the room, and discovered that one of the mattresses was encased in plastic. But to be fair,... more
