I did not eat breakfast at the hotel however my daughter and granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast. They said they were very tasty and of nice proportions in particular the breakfast sandwiches. My son in-law took advantage of the gym and remarked about how well the equipment was and how clean it was overall. My grandson just entered Stanford so I will probably come to the Hilton in future visits.

The hotel itself was nice, and the location was excellent and very convenient. The rooms and amenities met my expectations, which made the overall stay enjoyable in some ways. Unfortunately, my experience with the staff was disappointing. From check in to check out, they came across as unwelcoming, unpleasant, and lacking professionalism. Customer service has a huge impact on a guest’s experience, and the interactions I had made me feel uncomfortable rather than valued. With a more friendly and professional staff, this hotel could be a much better place to stay.
