The Stanford Park Hotel is exceptional. The facility is lovely, well kept and comfortable. Outdoor seating area and pool/hot tub area were perfect. Room was large with ample room for 2 travelers, including a seating area. Bathrooms were perfect with two separate sinks. Ample closet space. Service was quick for room service and housekeeping. I cannot say enough about how wonderful and perfect our stay was. Thank you for a great visit!
