There are lots of hotels in Walnut Creek. Don't choose this one.
I booked to stay at this hotel for a family reunion with our American cousins and their families during our visit to California. We had not seen them since Covid because during Covid our cousin's wife suffered a cervical artery dissection and an associated stroke from which she was lucky to survive and slow to recover. I had no hesitation booking this hotel because I had stayed in the Embassy Suites in Aneheim for my daughter's wedding and it was excellent in every way. Six days before we were due to visit our cousin's wife was again taken to hospital for emergency abdominal surgery due to a severe case of diverticulitis and our cousin cancelled the reunion. I emailed Booking.com and asked them to ask the hotel if they would cancel the booking. Booking.com told me that they had no response and suggested that I could try telephoning the hotel. When I telephoned the hotel they told me to contact Booking.com. I emailed Booking.com who again suggested that I contact the hotel. The hotel refused to help and their reception staff were very rude when I telephoned again. We didn't make the visit and the hotel charged my card full price.
