“Good value in Castro Valley”

Good location with surprising view if you have a car. Lets you access the city or Oakland easily without being in a congested area - very suburban, quiet and nice.

“Lodging”

Very nice experience at the Econo Lodge in Castro Valley. Will use again when I go back.

“my common place to stay”

No review

“Nice view”

Good staff, full maid service, paper on weekdays, continental breakfast, safe place to stay. Excellent location for I-580 and getting around the bay area.

“Should have spend the extra few dollars and stayed down the road.”

When I got to my room, the entire place smelled musty and dank, but it's only for one night... right? I went to use the restroom and the bathroom light was connected to the loudest ceiling exhaust fan in creation. It sounded like an aircraft was taking off inside that bathroom. Further, the shower-head had been repaired but had been turned to face the wall. I could just barely turn the head to make it spray into the tub instead of the wall. Well... spray may be too strong a word... but water did come out.

“Ok to stay”

We reserved a room downstairs and told them we are checking in @9:30pm and we already paid money in full. I checked with the staff in the afternoon to make sure we have downstairs room. But when we arrived, we were told that only upstairs room is available. We had to carry heavy luggage upstairs. We have two adults but were given only one key. No phone in room. Lamp was out of order and they fixed it for us. Breakfast is donuts plus orange juice. Sheets and towels are clean. The room is quiet and spacious.

“OK for cheap digs with no frills”

This hotel was fine for what we were there for... attending a funeral and not spending much time in the room... the bedspread had holes in it but was clean... getting into the driveway is a challenge when coming from downtown Castro Valley... the only way to enter legally is to pass the hotel, turn into a residential street, make a u turn and go back down to the hotel... while the staff were not rude, they also were not terribly friendly or warm. I'd prefer somewhere a little more updated.... the highlight was dinner down the street at the Silver Spoon! delicious!

“What a dive!”

Upon check-in the unfriendly clerk handed me keys to a non-smoking room that stank of smoke and alcohol and reminded me of a dingy bar. The carpet was dirty, loose, needed vacuuming, and a dark color (browns, oranges, maroons). The bedspreads contained the same colors. The room was dark and dreary. There was no light fixture in the dressing area (closet, dressing counter top w/ mirror). The phone was damaged. One of the light fixtures near the bed was inoperable. A waste of money. The only good part of the stay was that I was just there overnight.
