Holiday Inn Express & Suites Hayward - Castro Valley by IHG

Stayed here for two nights when my other booking fell through. Definitely just needed somewhere to sleep and was decently safe. Walking in, it did look modern and updated. The woman working the desk was really nice. After a random issue with what room I was going to get, the one I got looked exactly like the pictures. Love the AC running and it actually got too cold for me which surprised me. Bed was comfortable, pillows super soft for me so wasn’t really for that, but that’s on me. Shower was huge, lots of space! Water pressure was not that great though. The morning of check out, it would stop. Probably due to a lot of people using it :( definitely set me behind. TV was nice, but didn’t have a lot of channels. Was anxious about parking, but they had multiple cameras facing the lot so it e

This is a great hotel! It's SPOTLESS! The employees, from front desk to housekeeping, are extremely friendly and helpful. I've stayed 4 days here and I feel revitalized. The rooms are comfy and spacious, as well as quiet. Boy, did I need this "retreat"!! |Thank you Paul, the manager, for above and beyond service and comfort. Best experience I've ever had traveling. Thank you Holiday Inn Express!! 25640 Mission Blvd. Hayward, Ca...510.880.6477

Comfortable, new hotel with a solid breakfast and nice mini-gym. I was nervous to book here based on all the negative reviews but overall, we had a very nice stay here. They’re still working out the kinks like the toilet seat was loose, metal bed frame brackets sticking out and the only EV charger in a disabled parking spot. But the room was clean, beds comfortable and there was plenty of fresh food during breakfast. (The front desk person said they had a new cook.) I would definitely stay here again.

I recently stayed at this newly opened property, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best hotels I’ve experienced in a long time. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making me feel right at home. The indoor decor was beautiful, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The bed was perfect for a restful night’s sleep, and the bathroom was well-appointed with great toiletries. Another highlight was the breakfast buffet, served from 6 AM to 11 AM. The food was delicious, and the friendly food server was always happy to assist and answer any questions. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and I highly recommend this hotel!

Nice newer hotel option right in the main road. Rooms included a fridge and microwave and had plenty of space. Free buffet breakfast was great and many options. I kept getting charged the security deposit daily and they messed up my checkin so my room was charged initially twice but staff was great in getting it resolved and making sure everything was squared away when I checked out.
