Nice property, beautiful grounds. Very convenient to Stanford. Only frustration was the exorbitant cost of some nights. First night was $111, last night (which we declined) was over $700. Supply snd demand, but also price gauging.

This is a beautiful property on El Camino Drive. You cannot tell how pretty from the outside. The pool is heated. They have continental breakfast in the morning, and attach is a deli with really good food. We had a great time. We will be back next time we watch a Stanford game.

Great for a family. We were visiting from the east coast for a wedding. Kids loved the pool and it’s in a great area close to everything. Room was big enough for our family if 5. 2 queen beds snd a pull out sofa bed in a slightly separate area to the side.

Such a beautiful setting for this hotel - you don't even know it's a hotel. ;-) Lots of greenery and a creek running through the grounds. Very pleasant stay - we saw BTS in concert at the University and it was an easy 1 mile walk to the venue. Great location in Palo Alto and would definitely stay again!

The environment is so quiet and peaceful. The trees surrounding the property makes one feel calmness around. The only downside is the bathroom shower where water splashes get into the tiles outside the shower.
