The old Crowne Plaza in Pleasanton reopened summer 2008 after a major renovation as Pleasanton Marriott, a top quality hotel for the business or leisure traveler. The property has 242 luxurious, well furnished rooms, part of a large 6 storey building right next to another Marriott hotel (Residence Inn) - just south of the Foothill Rd exit of I-880, and opposite the Stoneridge Shopping Mall. Guest rooms are decorated in a modern style with bold colors, as are many of the public facilities, which include the grand lobby, a business center, a cafe/bar, exercise room, and a selection of meeting rooms. A free shuttle is available to places within 5 miles, so all major sites in the centers of Dublin and Pleasanton are within range.

On the north side of Pleasanton, close to Dublin and the I-580/I-680 intersection, the Courtyard by Marriott has a good reputation for cleanliness, comfort, efficient staff and a quiet location - it is found in a modern business/shopping area a few blocks from I-580 along Hopyard Rd, and 1 mile from the Dublin-Pleasanton BART station. The Courtyard Cafe provides freshly cooked breakfast, with other meals available from several adjacent restaurants; there are plenty more dining choices 1.5 miles west at Stoneridge Mall. For leisure, guests at the Courtyard can use the fitness room, heated outdoor pool and hot tub.

Residence Inn Pleasanton occupies a tree-lined site on the southwest corner of the I-580/Foothill Rd junction, just across the street from the many shops & restaurants of Stoneridge Mall. Wooded hills rise to the south, and the hotel is a generally quiet, relaxing place to stay, with landscaped gardens and accommodation comprising 135 studio, one bedroom or two bedroom suites that each contain a full kitchen and an extra sofa bed. The gardens provide the setting for the hotel's outdoor pool, hot tub, bbq rings and tennis court; services inside include free hot breakfast, daily housekeeping and a free evening social hour (Mon-Thu).

With a central location beside I-580 in the middle of the Pleasanton-Dublin suburbs, the Best Western Pleasanton Inn is well placed for visitors to the Tri Valley area.
