After work, people will walk over from BART to grab a quick drink with friends at Hops & Scotch or pick up their kids for some fresh slices at Bill & Bali's. It's a nice alternative to having to schlep into downtown, Sangha said.

“There’s a lot of foot traffic here, so we get a good deal of exposure,” he concluded. “If the BART station disappeared for whatever reason, that would significantly hurt our pocketbook.”
It’s not uncommon for travelers to discover Embassy Suites in Walnut Creek by googling, “hotels near BART,” said David Burri, Director of Sales and Marketing, Embassy Suites – Walnut Creek.
“Our location is just a four-minute walk to BART. It's a huge selling point for groups, conventions, and individual travelers, especially because it’s an easy trip from the San Francisco and Oakland airports,” he continued.
“That’s one of the first things we discuss with people interested in hosting conferences and events at the hotel – BART is right here, and it makes it simple to travel back and forth to San Francisco, Oakland, and local attractions.”
Burri said he has posters in the hotel lobby that promote using BART, and it’s one of the first conveniences mentioned on the hotel’s website and promotional material.
“Our Guest Services team gets a lot of questions about how to travel to local attractions: What’s the fastest way to the Moscone Convention Center? How do I get to Fishermen’s Wharf?” Burri said. “We always encourage them to skip the traffic and take BART.”
