Redwood Creek Inn

Easy access to room; ample parking; good central location to downtown Redwood City…honestly, the one thing I struggled with was the location of the toilet paper from the toilet…had to grab paper before sitting down. (TMI, but GTK)

Conveniently located, this lodging included free parking, coffee maker, fridge & microwave. It is across the street from a grocery store and a shopping mall. I agree with other reviewers that the bed is too hard but otherwise the place is ideal as to price, easy check in and departure and location. For what it offers, it is top of the low-cost line.

Thank you! We enjoyed our stay at the Inn. It was very peaceful, quiet & safe. Also loved the courtyard & the rooms were simple, but elegant.💗

Parking is a little tight, however, the evening desk clerk assisted us in parking - very much appreciated. Also, it is dog friendly which is also very much appreciated.

Redwood Creek inn was great loved the patio area as well as the room. There is a little traffic noise due to it being on a Main Street with traffic but I didn’t mind it with the ac on. Very close to a Whole Foods as well as a shopping center area with various restaurants. Definitely wil stay here again

Easy check in, parking well lite. Cameras. Rooms spacious.

I gave up and didn't go. I couldn't get directions, I couldn't talk to the person who told me it must be my wifi. (I was using cellular). The person did tell me ... "There is no pool". Doesn't matter what photos show or ads say. I just bailed.

Rooms were nice and clean, location was convenient, parking was easy

Surprisingly quiet courtyard area. Good sized room . Good value for price

This hotel has consistently been a good place to stay in the Redwood City area: downtown is a short walk away, as are plenty of food and shopping locations, such as the Whole Foods right across the street. The rooms are always clean and the grounds are well kept. Parking is always easy.

Looks Recently renovated and very clean

The site said rooms were upgraded and they were not the shower head barely worked the room was dusty I had a terrible Athmsa attack. The breakfast wasn’t available when stated so we had to go elsewhere and pay the shampoo conditioner and body soap was all watered down didn’t even make a lather so I went to my surgery at Stanford feeling dirty. I usually bring my own but the manager/owner said they provide it! They left the parking light flood lights on all night keeping us up and as it was we had arrived late due to emergency surgery at Stanford

It was close to down town. But... the sheets were discolored in areas and the bedding was never changed during our 3 night stay

The room was clean. Staff was adequate. Shower water was tepid on both nights. Inadequate toilet supplies in room.

The staff were super friendly, all we came into contact with at least. This is the first stay at a place where I didn't have to clean anything in room after arriving. Corners on all floors clean, baseboards clean, carpet really clean, could walk on it bare foot and feet stayed clean.) They fine tune cleaning; make that extra effort. I like this Inn a lot.

Roaches

I WOULD NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN!!! There was hair all over the bathroom floor and bugs. Then, when I pulled back the blankets, there were hairs on the pillow and the sheet. Then I noticed that there was a white powder along the baseboards and the bottom of the bed. The type to keep bugs away(roaches)

My experience at Redwood Creek Inn left much to be desired. While I typically refrain from leaving negative reviews, this experience truly tested my patience. Initially, we encountered minor issues with the front desk during check-in, which I brushed off. However, the real frustration began when I received a call from the front desk at 11 pm, disturbing my rest. Expecting an emergency, I answered, only to be informed that my card had been accidentally charged twice. Exhausted and preparing for an early morning MRI, I politely requested to handle the matter in the morning. Instead, I was met with argumentation from the clerk, despite expressing my fatigue and urgency. The next morning, my dismay continued when I found the shower in my room filled with human hair – a hygiene issue that left me feeling repulsed. Upon attempting to check out, I was met with further frustration as the same front desk employee, whom I can only describe as a "wise guy," insisted on asserting his perspective and dismissing my concerns. In a world where customer service is paramount, I felt disregarded and overlooked as a consumer. While mistakes are inevitable in any business, the lack of effort to rectify the situation or provide satisfactory resolution was disappointing. As someone who values a seamless and comfortable stay when booking a hotel, this experience fell far short of expectations.

I always love staying at the Redwood Creek Inn!! The rooms are always extremely clean and everyone is so friendly!

We did not have a good experience. If you get room 117, ask for another room. The floor boards in the room above are remarkably squeaky right by the bed. The pillows feel like couch pillows for a waiting room where no one wants you to wait. According to my sleep monitor, the two worst nights of sleep I got this year were here. The service is non-existent. They couldn’t care less about you. The amenities list things that don’t actually exist. The close location to Safeway and Whole Foods was great. The super large vanity is nice. Otherwise, I regret booking this room and won’t stay again.

noisy ventilation

Good, clean room. Proper daily cleaning good. If you're next door to someone who comes in very very late and has a conversation - you will wake up from the sound. Sound proofing not great. Internet service was inconsistent. Front desk staff pleasant and efficient!

The TV didn't work. They were unable to fix it in 3 days. The phone didn't work either. The place felt very second rate.

Enjoyed our stay here and would stay again. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. The rooms were clean and the outdoor seating area was a nice place to relax. We had to switch rooms because the AC didn't work properly the first night, but the staff responded immediately when we brought this to their attention. The card readers on the doors are a bit touchy, but finally figured out the right way to open the door. The key cards seem to get desensitized often, but was told if we keep it next to our cell phone it could do that. The breakfast items offered are minimal, so don't expect to be served a breakfast. The location was wonderful since there were many options for food very close by and it is an easy walk into downtown RWC. Overall, very satisfied with our stay here.

Decent place and convenient to get around downtown Redwood City. My biggest issue is with the beds. They are firm and they border on giving me a backache.

Property is close to downtown. Overall the room was okay. Shower water head may need to be replaced due to low flow and the overall rooms condition was decent. The room had a wired smell to it but since I was only stay the night it wasn’t to bad. If I were to stay more nights I would have requested another room. Also there was no one in the front office when I was checking out and no complimentary breakfast. I would definitely rate this hotel 3 stars.

I've stayed at many of the renovated motels along El Camino Real and this one is on the better side with respect to noise levels, though still a loud road, and add in the commuter train station nearby, the fan is perfect for canceling noise and the newer windows and doors help you not be disturbed at night. Water pressure is also a bit better here than many others. You can quickly cross the street for Whole Foods or a longer walk or drive across El Camino for Safeway and several dining options. Downtown Redwood City is also walkable and has many dining options.

Disappointing this time. I have come quite a lot in the past but it was not as clean, or comfortable than in the past. Awful next door neighbors too.. walls are very thin.

Bed was a little hard, there was a noisy neighbor that woke us up at 3AM, finally he quieted down after about an hour

We had an unexpected medical emergency just an hour after booking—my father was en route to Palo Alto for treatment and had to be taken to the hospital. Unfortunately, despite the circumstances, the hotel was unwilling to offer any flexibility with the reservation. While I understand the importance of cancellation policies, a bit of compassion in this case would have gone a long way. A more accommodating approach could have turned a stressful situation into a much more positive experience.

There was no one at the front desk when I arrived to check in. It said ring bell at night window and no one was there. I called the number several times and no one answered. I had to get help from Expedia to finally get in contact with someone to check me in over 30 mins after I arrived. When I went to check out, again there was no one there at the front desk. It made the stay very frustrating.

Clean room, great front desk attendant, good value, and wonderful location. Walking distance from the Caltrain station and across the street from a shopping center with restaurants. There are both Safeway and Whole Foods stores nearby.

It was okay…wouldn’t go back the staff took a long time. It said to ring door bell at the night window to check in and they took a while to come out and also to check out there was no one in the front desk and I kept ringing the bell for them to finally come out. Worst staff and service I have ever experienced I wouldn’t recommend this place or go back.

Property is close to downtown. Overall the room was okay. Shower water head may need to be replaced due to low flow and the overall rooms condition was decent. The room had a wired smell to it but since I was only stay the night it wasn’t to bad. If I were to stay more nights I would have requested another room. Also there was no one in the front office when I was checking out and no complimentary breakfast. I would definitely rate this hotel 3 stars.

Very convenient. Staff very friendly.

Very convenient location. Office staff was also very nice!

Very convenient location. Walkable from CalTrain. Lots of nearby restaurants, stores, and businesses. Easily accessible to downtown Redwood City.

It was not what we expected for the price of $313 we stayed at the Westin & Sheraton in Palo Alto paid $219 and they were exceptional next to this. We had no choice because everything was booked. Would never stay here again. Also, a lot of shady people outside of Starbucks, Safeway & CVS.

Convenient location close to downtown Redwood City.

Calm neighborhood, whole foods is just a min walk.

No complains, with multiple stores/restaurants within walking distance.

Clean room, great front desk attendant, good value, and wonderful location. Walking distance from the Caltrain station and across the street from a shopping center with restaurants. There are both Safeway and Whole Foods stores nearby.

Solid hotel I would have enjoyed more if ground floor room had been available. Great access to Caltrain and a Whole Foods just steps away.

The area is safe enough that im ok walking around just myself and kids when needed. The rooms are clean and nice with a good amount of nearby grocery stores and a few other shops. Its also really easy to get to my childrens appointments at the hospital.

Pretty basic, but functional, with a great downtown location.

No soundproofing between rooms, neighboring room shower was like a jack hammer, very late at night for a long time. Laundry on premises would be very helpful. Breakfast was less than tasty.

I was told when I checked in that there would be breakfast in the morning, but when I went down to get it there was no breakfast.

No breakfast or anything else is served here and there is definitely not a restaurant

The price was good for a quiet, clean room in a safe area near many attractions. Room had coffee and supplies, ironing board, hair dryer, mini fridge, microwave, close by parking, and was clean. Breakfast was really just snacks but good in a pince.

Room was fine. Door for room next door was very squeaky and they were opening and closing the door all night. Outlet and lights on wall between the beds did not work. Continental breakfast was minimal - yogurt, fruit, some pastries, coffee and tea. Staff was polite and friendly.

Advertised breakfast in the ad, but all they had was yogurt, coffee and granola bars. Terrible. There was nothing special about this place. There wasn't an attendant at the front desk in the mornings, just a note saying they will be back. will not stay there again.
