"Our room A/C was not that great. We slept in warmth out two night stay. I’m not much of a complainer so we just dealt with it. The area is a bit sketchy with so many hopeless around. I wouldn’t talk out alone…."
"Room is dirty. AC didn’t work. It was 83 degrees inside the room. I asked the front desk if I could change the room. I was told that all the rooms are the same. I was told to leave the window open but it was very noisy outside. We Could not sleep all night. "
"The rooms were spacious and spotless, with great décor and crisp bed sheets. The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble."
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Hayward - Castro Valley by IHG
10/10 Excellent
"The property and staff were great my overall stay was great the bed was so comfortable I didn’t want to get up the only thing I could suggest and ask for is more accommodations of access rooms. There’s only two available and I needed a walk in shower and there wasn’t one available overall I rate my stay a 41/2 stars and have all ready recommended it to several others and I will definitely stay there again if I’m in the area thank you "
"This is an older hotel but the location here is great, the view of the bay was everything, the sunset and the relaxed vibe. I’d stay here again just to have breakfast overlooking the water and sit by the fireplace in the evening- would have been perfect with a live band I guess we missed out. "
"Great place if you’re visiting the Berkeley area or Cal in general. In walking distance of everything Cal related with great local spots everywhere. It’s a very old hotel and they have leaned into that, so if you want somewhere modern this isn’t for you, but if you want a piece of Berkeley history I highly recommend. "
