Great location super close to Stanford University and tons of delicious eating establishments! Our room had a balcony that overlooked the pool which was beautiful, despite the rainy colder weather. Our room was cleaned immaculately daily without having to ask for service and everyone was friendly and accommodating.

DON’T STAY HERE

We were visiting Stanford University. We got in at a little after midnight. The check in person gave us a hard time because my middle name was not on the reservation. The room smelled like heavy cigarette smoke. The carpets were sticky and there was mold all over the bathroom as the below pictures. The shower head sprays outside the shower and so the floor floods so I had to dry it with our towels. The back of the door is rotted hence not a new problem. Blood stained towel. We had the DO NOT disturb sign on yet the room was cleaned this was an issue because all personal and valuable things were not secure as the safe was broken. I went and spoke to the young man at the check-in desk and he said he would pass it along. He was understanding. I didn’t hear from anyone. I travel often and I have written one other review all the years and it was for the best place we ever stayed and now this one.

I have stayed here before, and I will again. This is our go-to hotel for visits to Palo Alto. On one side, you have the busy street with amenities, but on the other side, you'll find a lovely natural setting with well-tended gardens in a beautiful neighborhood. We love the natural setting and the spaciousness. We enjoyed the balcony above the creek. Parking is free and easy.
