• Fans who prefer a quieter, laid-back area to recover after the show

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant or 24/7 room service, the hotel’s location on E. Castro Valley Boulevard puts you within walking or quick driving distance of local diners, taquerias, and fast food options perfect for a post-show bite. Breakfast is available nearby if you sleep in and want to fuel up before heading out.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a nightlife-heavy property, but that’s kind of the point. After a loud night at the venue, you’ll appreciate the peace and quiet. If you’re still in the mood for a nightcap, there are a few low-key bars and lounges a short drive away in Castro Valley or nearby San Leandro.
