Castro Valley Inn

Very comfy place to stay in and low prices too! Really recommend them when staying out here or anywhere!

Alright here is the deal, for the price and what you get… this place IS as good as it gets and deserves 5 stars. We’re not comparing this place to a Marriott or Holiday Inn, it is a small privately owned place with a manager who cares about making a comfortable stay for the guests.
We called to book for a one night stay (when everywhere else was booked unless we wanted to pay $ 600 for the night) and attend a near by wedding. I called late Friday, the manager Les, said no problem, asked how many beds were needed and said he would see us the next day, no credit card or anything to book! I was a little concerned not having at least a confirmation e-​mail but when we arrived our room was ready and we checked in and out without issue. It was quiet, felt safe and there is a Safeway right across the street which was nice.
The room was standard– king bed, bathroom, mini-​fridge, microwave, TV, closet and vanity and it was clean which is always important!
I would recommend the Castro Valley Inn and would stay again if ever in need of a place in the area. Oh and when people say this place has good prices, it is an understatement! For a hotel in the Bay Area with relatively close access to major highways/​cities/​etc this place is a steal of a deal for sure!!! (Under $ 100 for a room!!!)

Manager friendly and funny, plenty rooms available at the last minute. Clean and cozy room. Very nice price. Will book again when I visit SF.

While we were homeless my kids, and I stayed there one night. The manager was a kinda of creepy guy who told me about his son visiting there with him as he was from out of state. He had given his 16 year old son his own room with his girlfriend in tow?! I dunno about you but that rubbed me the wrong way. I think he was trying to emphasize with me and my current situation saying he found himself in the same situation years ago. Anyways, the room was just alright. The beds could have been better. For some reason, I really didn’t feel safe there. The next day deciding I didn’t want us staying there another night. I packed up and headed to the Quality Inn where we had been staying. I accidentally left my son’s Nintendo 3D DS there along with a $ 40 game in it. When I discovered I had left it, I immediately went there to pick it up. He had just rec’d it as a birthday gift!?! I was truly hoping the maid would have turned it in. Well, I was WRONG… over $ 200 worth of electronics just gone… soooo disappointing. So please be sure not to leave anything in their rooms as you won’t have it returned.

Comfortable and clean, I will definitely stay again! My first time staying here, we had an event at friends that live up the street, so it was very close. I found this place on Unilocal,I am a big fan of reading reviews to know what to expect. The first night I stayed in a single, it was charming, the manager said it was part of the «original» Inn, had a comfy bed, ironing board, blow dryer and a little seating area, everything I needed. The second night I reserved a double, it was as clean, not as charming, part of the «newer» Inn but very clean and had everything we needed. I gave it 5 stars because it was such a deal and will stay again but my couple gripes are, we asked for extra towels the second night and did not get them and it does not have an elevator but they did have a single and a double on the bottom floor so we didn’t have to haul our heavy bags up the stairs. I would have loved a pool, the manager said usually I could have use the pool next door, but it was closed for sometime due to some problem they have not been able to fix. I am planning a trip back up to San Francisco in a couple weeks and will stay here again, it is my new go-​to place to stay when I want to be right outside the city at a very reasonably price.

Came on a spur of the moment trip to San Francisco. Decided we wanted to stay a bit outside of the city to save some money so we came across this place and honestly it turned out to be a very good choice to stay the night. Front desk manager Les was very friendly, the room was clean and well equipped with a/​c, mini fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, and blow dryer. The room even had a small but nice seating area. It was only $ 85 including tax to stay the night and I feel it was worth every penny. The only reason they didn’t receive 5 Stars is because they do not have elevators and when I asked for extra pillows they were all out. Other than that it’s a nice place for a good night’s sleep…

Great place to stay period the end. The cost was low, the room was clean and the manager was awesome. Funny guy and on top of it. Even the room service went out of their way to do their job by extrapolating who were were after we checked out and returning items left in the refrigerator. I was beginning to think places like this were all done for but here it is in Castro Valley. Stay here and no where else.

This place was such a great find! Just what I needed. My husband is hospitalized at Kindred (please see my review of this horrible place). I needed a place that was close, clean, and cheap. I got a lot for the money! It offers all the things I need. Most important, I feel safe here. The manager is extremely nice and friendly too. Fortunately, there is a 24 hour Safeway and a coffee place right across the street. Breakfast was simply coffee and packaged sweet rolls, but that wasn’t important to me. I will definitely stay here again if I’m ever in the area.

Not friendly, not very clean place. Will not stay here again. So not worth the money.

I’ve had a pleasure to stay at this motel on the weekend of Dick Collin’s Firetrails 50. The race director contacted the owner of this establishment and so all participants was able to stay at this motel at a discount rate. Furthermore, the manager provided race participants continental breakfast at an earlier time. The room I stayed at was very clean. The bathroom was sparkly glowy clean! Cable TV provided with HBO. Manager was friendly and nice. He was very tentative when we were inquiring for good food around the neighborhood. I would definitely stay here again next time I run FT50.

This hotel is absolutely terrible. It fails miserably in every category, particularly in terms of management. I kid you not when I warn you that you will feel as if you’ve walked into a Twilight Zone episode in that you are constantly being «watched.» And you will viscerally feel as if you are being watched. The manager is a control freak. We did not feel comfortable in this place. The house amenities are almost non-​existent. Short on towels. Very cheap comportment considering the dog and pony show attitude. Consider yourselves warned. There isn’t a pool, lobby, or anywhere to sit and relax outside. This is the worst hotel we’ve ever stayed at. Save yourself the aggravation. One more thing, if you are a «moment» over the check-​out time you WILL be harassed something fierce.
