Larkspur Landing Pleasanton

We’ve been on a 3 week road trip from Austin to SF. So have stayed in a lot of places along the way. This place for the price was just great- kitchen facilities in the (large) room, wide corridors, clean and the welcome from the manager was genuinely warm and friendly (I think her name was Amanda). I haven’t bothered to write many reviews but this place deserved it. And by the way- if you’ve got a chance go to Maverick’s country bar- what a fun atmosphere of country dancing (even better than the places we visited in Texas) one of the best cultural experiences we had on our trip.

My only negative is that the smoking is right by the doors. So if you get a room near a door( 2windows away), like I did, and expect to open your window for fresh air... bad move.. So much for fresh CA air!! The breakfast was plenty nice. Actually stayed 2 nights, and had a different choice each day.. that was nice. Rooms were fine. Walls a tad thin, I could here even Norma conversations from the next room, but, guess they had to listen to my snoring, so that evened out!!! Location was great... decent bang for my buck. Fulfilled my, around $100 a night, priorities..

I booked a room here because it is conveniently across from Tommy T’s where I had tickets to see a comedian. I am not from the area and my previous experiences in a larkspur landing have been fabulous… but this one was a complete mess. It needs a major remodel and attitude change of the staff. When we arrived no one was at the front desk. We waited along with a lady in front of us wondering where the staff was. We heard a loud conversation next to the desk in the “manager’s office” so after about 10 minutes of no one helping my husband knocked. The young lady, Amanda I believe was her name said she would be a minute and the janitor lady in the office with her gave my husband thee ugliest dirty look like he was bothering them. We literally all stood there for another 15 minutes! I was so frustrated! When Amanda came out she did do a quick apology and just sent us to our room. When we got there it was disgusting. Everything is very outdated. I mean it felt like I was back in the early 90’s with the cabinets and appliances. The bathroom was dirty it had a black ring in the toilet the linoleum tile flooring in the bathroom was not laid properly so it moved when stepped on. I just felt disgusting. I was looking to lose out on the money and book another hotel but my husband convinced me to stay. I wish I took pictures of the room but I was just in a hurry to drop my stuff off and leave the room to enjoy Pleasanton! I only took a pic of the front desk (while we waited 20 mins for a staff member). It should of been a key indicator that the rooms would also be a hot mess! Never again will I book a room here if I visit the beautiful city.

FREE LAUNDRY! First time in Pleasanton and this booking was made on the fly. I did not know what to expect but Larkspur Landing about multiple locations in the west coast. Overall loved it! The room are a bit old but they are super comfortable. They have a massive table for working and nice office chair. The bathroom is spacious and the shower on point with the water pressure. The AC seems to have sensors and works phenomenally . The room Is equipped with a full kitchen and fridge. The breakfast is a simple bagel cream cheese, egg, sausage and coffee option. There’s also morning pastry’s with cereal. As well as a juice bar. The fitness area is small but complete saw weights from 15 lbs to 25lbs plus and a treadmill and other machines. This hotel is perfectly located next to a chik fill a so you can walk there and bring it back without a car. You have multiple places to choose from to order food from. The customer service is like if I was at home. The whole hotel is cozy and like they advertise it feels like home. There is great laundry machines that they offer for free ( I’ve never seen this in a hotel). The front desk was nice and communicative. Shout out to receptionist Vanessa for helping me with a confusion I had with my booking. Overall definitely worth a stay if you are in this area and believe me you will feel at home because they do make you feel like home away from home with all the amenities.
