This hotel was very quiet. Beautiful, peaceful grounds. The young man at the front desk was very helpful.

Very convenient to visit the Stanford university thing. It doesn’t provide the full breakfast but in functional I wish it offers plain yogurt.

Great find. Nice hotel with great ambiance. Bathroom shower is cool but the design leaks water all over the floor. Other than that the room was roomy and nice. Loved my stay.

Horrible customer service!

Didn’t have my requested room

Just a few minutes drive from Stanford . Clean, price is reasonable , quaint .

Close to Stanford

I visit Palo Alto often, I have been staying in Creekside Inn in the last ten years. What I like about this place because it is close to Stanford University and the nice shopping center and museum on campus too. The building of this hotel is kind old and needs some repair or paint job. I like Creekside Inn the most is the cleanness of the hotel which always provides clean white large bath towel, bathrobe and slippers (sometimes). I also like the clean white sheets and pillows, good shampoo and soaps, not sure about the carpet though! And, the sliding door ad balcony need some upkeeps. Landscape is beautiful especially during the spring time. I wish front desk at the registration area could show some welcoming decoration and smiles. Thank you!

Quaint older hotel kept up nicely. Friendly checkin w/complimentary small bottle of wine given. Spring water dispenser for ind.containers near ice Mach. Deli/store onsite. Shoreline theater only 4mi. Away but you must leave early to go to event or that 4mi m. can take 30 plus minutes plus! Used orbitz.com but if interested, book right away as refreshed look at, online prices go up and up each time.

This was a great place to stay for a short business trip. The exterior, landscaping and courtyard were unexpectedly pretty, and the room was quiet and had everything I needed. I would definitely stay again!

We love this property and stay here often!

I came to visit Stanford with my daughter. If she is lucky enough to attend, this will be my California home away from home when I visit her.

This place was a joke. We asked for a suite but it was smaller than most standard rooms. Housekeeping knocks at 8 am. The only food is at their overpriced restaurant or at the convenience store that is on the property. There were silverfish in the bathroom and roaches in the kitchenette. The AC kept shutting off and wouldn’t restart for hours. We had to sleep with the slider open because the room was stuffy. There was an ice bucket in the room but no ice machine, when I asked where The machine was, I was given wrong information. They charge you 10.75 per day for parking and internet but that is a total scam. They call it an amenity fee….That is part of the room rate, so they are basically charging you more for the room than they advertise. The internet is an unsecured network and the parking is horrible. When I called about an issue with my bill their front desk hung up on me. When I called back asking to speak to a manager, the manager was rude and they are absolutely not interested in customer satisfaction. I chose this place because of the reviews but it does not deserve it. There are better resorts for the money in the area.

I was pretty disappointed with our stay. The pictures were prettier than real life. We were on the first floor and one could hear the footsteps from the floor above and that can be very disturbing. Also, the maid was sweeping the walkway above us and all the dust fell on my head as I was exiting from my hotel door- Gross! Amenities were scrimpy and not included in room price! Will not stay there again.

Dear Monica, We deeply regret that your experience was not ideal. I do see your request for date change, however that was not received until after your check in date, so the room was held for the day you did not show up. We did process a 1 night refund for your stay. Please contact the property if you have additonal questions.
