Hotels in Palo Alto

The hotel was great. Location with markets close by. rooms were spacious and atmosphere very relaxing. I enjoyed my stay there. Pool side room with a patio was a great place to have coffee or snacks.

Overall a pretty nice hotel, with nice amenities. The pool looked pretty decent. The fitness center is well stock for cardio, but a bit on the lacking side for weights. The hotel room itself was pretty good. The wallpaper installation had flaws (but who cares right?) and the carpet was very outdated. The TV / channels was all decent. There was an ethernet port, but it was plugged into a Ruckus that...

I stayed in the suite, so this may be a bit biased. My room was really large, clean and really nice amenities. The customer service was great and the housekeeping team always did a great job. I highly recommend

pool, location near restaurants and Stanford, gym,staff friendly, calm, clean room, beds confortable .

Was here for a week on a business trip around Silicon Valley. Quiet area at night in terms of walking up and down the main road. I was in room 119 which had a motel feel to it and it was very dated. The Beatles once stayed in the place as The Cabana before Crowne Plaza turned up, but I was half expecting Black Sabbath to be next door wrecking it. The room had a damp musty smell, which was probably...

Great location if you are planning on going to a concert at the Shoreline amphitheater-10min drive. Front desk staff was friendly and assisted us quickly. Got two Spanish burgers at the bar, which were delicious! The hotel itself was nice and clean, the only complaint about the room would be is, it’s a little outdated and not enough mirrors. Would stay again!

This is one of the nicest hotels in the area with very comfortable rooms. The location was very close to the center of town and the rent a car right in the hotel was very convenient. Definitely would stay here again is the opportunity presents itself.

The restaurant here is really solid. My burger was perfectly rare though crumbling. However my meal came with both cole slaw and fries. Plus it was pretty cheap overall.

Lovely hotel with big rooms. Walking distance to restaurants both ways. You need to ask for water though - they do not offer bottled water in your rooms unless you ask for them. Ask for shower gel too

We asked for a pool access room. We have sliding doors right out to the pool! Enjoyed a lovely evening and did not have to slip through the halls wet. Convenient location!

My stay here was for business. I loved the services and professionalism shown by the staff. The rooms too were up to date. The only reason that I wouldn't rate it a 5 star is because even at the price paid for the room, the breakfast wasn't included in the room. I think asking the guest for an additional 30$ is a deal breaker.

The bed and linens are always so clean and fresh. Great quality to ensure a great night’s rest. Tip: get complimentary coffee in the mornings for a great hot cup of coffee or tea. Don’t bother getting a latte or special coffee from Quattro, it will be $10 by the time you tip and they only have one size which is small.

Stayed here a week ago! The hotel has great facilities like a swimming pool and a well stocked gym. Staff are friendly and inviting! Room service is very quick and anything we requested through the app was brought hastily. The food is really good as you’d expect from the Four Seasons. Room was nice and spacious and the beds were great! The sound proofing is amazing; we’re very light sleepers and we...

I've traveled to the Bay Area for work dozens of times, and this was my first time staying at the Four Seasons. It definitely won't be my last! I absolutely loved everything about my stay. The bed was heavenly (planning to buy the linens for my own home!), the room was spacious and bright, and the room service was outstanding. I worked late every evening so ended up eating in my room way more often...

Great spa, relaxing pool and steam room. Massage therapists are very knowledgeable. Exceptional friendly service and attention to detail.

This is a favorite hotel of mine. Staff is wonderful, food is great. So relaxing to come during stressful buisness trips. Always love it here!!

Mostly excellent. Beds very comfortable, shower great, lots of fluffy towels. We had a suite and the kitchen facilities were great. We loved the pool area. Not many sun loungers but we were the only users so that was fine. Great breakfast. Bottomless coffee.

Stay here for business meeting, and the front desk are very pleasant and helpful. My suite is spacious with kitchen, dining, and office. Full breakfast is adequate. It's very convenient to go cross street for CVS, and variety restaurant are walking distance, too.

Aside from the great breakfast, there's excellent custom service, and room quality. The staff is friendly and helpful; rooms are spacious and the beds, comfortable. There's access to a grill and a small courtyard for social events.

Enjoyed starting here. Great breakfast included. Maintenance very responsive. Front desk very amiable. Easy place to stay.

Residence inn is my favorite Marriott brand of hotels and this one is no different than what I'm used to. The fire pit at night was the best to just sit down and relax talking to people. I will definitely come here again.

Comfortable, friendly, efficient, with outside and inside parking. Note, they recently began charging 15/night per car. Very high rates, not super deluxe furnishings. But, very large rooms, good beds and sofas, effective kitchenette for those lonely nights away on business.

What an incredible hotel, great staff, nice people. The nicest rooms I have ever stayed in. Great hot breakfast every morning. I will certainly be staying here again.

Great property! Incredibly well-maintained and clean. Every staff member I came across was very nice and seemed to be enjoying themselves at work. The room was spacious and impeccably clean and the amenities were great! I’d highly recommend and would stay again if I’m ever in the area.

The front desk gentleman named Gio was amazing and so kind-hearted! I appreciated his high level of customer service and helpfulness! He helped make my stay a great one indeed

Very pleased with my stay at Homewood Suites. Staff was helpful and facility was very clean. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. The desk was really nice to get work done. Parking lot is a little tight as there are not a ton of spots.

Lovely hotel located in a convenient location. Pleasant and prompt customer service. Reminded me of old school hospitality - warm and welcoming. Everything was A+ from food to bed to the outdoor fireplace which they lit up for us and our toddlers. In room dining was great - had 4 meals and each one was close to perfect. Highly recommended.

There is an absolutely charming little tapas and wine bar, open to the public, just inside this 4-star hotel, at the top of a long, sweeping staircase. Sit by the fire in the library-like atmosphere, and let Ivan prepare your seasonal cocktail. The Albondigas- Spanish meatballs- are one of the best things I've ever tasted. Open every evening until 10 pm.

What used to be the Garden Court Hotel was recently remodeled and rebranded as the el PRADO and they did a really spectacular job with it! I spent two lovely nights here and hosted an event in their awesome conference space. The room was absolutely fantastic, extremely comfortable with great views. The conference space was really impressive and very unique. The Bibliotheca room was particularly awesome...

Such a beautiful hotel! It's gone through a remodel so everything is new new. Rooms are beautifully designed. The staff is fantastic and very welcoming. There's a tapas bar/lounge on the 2nd floor. You must try it! Great for a solo trip or a getaway with friends. I can't wait to come back!

Had the most lovely time at el Prado. So many inviting places to sit and relax- and so in love with the mid century modern feel. The food and drink at Spanish Tapas Bar were just delicious! The croquettes and the old fashion were among my favorites. And the staff were absolutely delightful! Jeannelle our bartender was fabulous! They had a wedding event across from Tapas and it was beautifully decorated...

I was visitingto check it out as a wedding venue and the staff there were very prompt, professional, and responsive to all my questions. The hotel itself was very nice and intimate

This is the loudest hotel I’ve stayed in. You can hear conversations in both rooms on either side and every foot step above you. Not to mention the noisy A/C which is incredibly loud. I can’t believe there’s not any sound proofing. Also there’s construction above and drilling that woke us at 7:45ish am Sun morning and going at 8:15pm still. Just awful. If I wouldn’t lose my Hilton points and $ I’d...

A little tough to properly rate this one. The staff was very friendly, the hotel was very clean, and the location is good for quite a lot in the general area. But the value for the hefty price tag just wasn't there. Pricey rooms, extra parking costs, and no free breakfast all conspire to make this a 3 star hotel at 5 star prices. The location was minutes from my client, which was great, but Silicon...

Really nice little hotel. Underground parking. Room (upgraded as a Diamond member) was spacious. Lobby and foyer were beautiful. All encounters with the front office staff were excellent. Definitely a good place to stay!

I adore this hotel so much. Everyone at this institution is incredibly kind and constantly seems to be smiling. The front desk staff was quite helpful when I needed assistance when I was here for a meeting. Additionally, I dropped all of my food on the floor as I was returning to my room: ((Bummer)) and one of the staff members, I believe his name was Andrew, was really polite and helpful in scooping...

great room comfortable mattresses, awesome space! a wonderful bath experience, love the complimentary soaps and lotions and kerig. we woke up our first morning to get our promised complimentary breakfast.. we were charged $17.. for one plate of waffles my husband made an 2 yogurts, a banana and a orange. and given a bill. we paid it I went to ask why we were charged for our free breakfast, front...

Nice enough hotel. Nothing super special, but nice for what it is. Friendly and helpful staff for the most part. Don’t ask them to assist at all with the business center. The girl at the front desk could care less and showed no interest in assisting me. I liked the exercise room. It was nice. Rooms very comfortable. Bed was comfy, as well.

A very nice courtyard property modern and up to date. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable. Their fitness center is nice with enough machines to avoid the log jam in the morning. A great outdoor patio for relaxing or socializing especially at night. My only real knock is the price. Early week business travelers frequently sell this place out and drive the process to 3+ times base rates.

This hotel was definitely a step above the typical Courtyard. There was a happy hour that included free pizza and snacks. The bar was a step above other Courtyards with a few taps. The restaurant was also just a little nicer feeling. The staff were all very friendly.

Beautiful room. Staff was very nice. Free popcorn, surgared donut holes, wonderful pizza and veggie snacks in the afternoon. Can't miss happy hour as well. And to help work off all the indulgences there's a fitness room. Great experience.

Nice, well-kept hotel. Restaurant isn't bad and staff is friendly. They don't have room service but you can order from the restaurant and they'll package it to go; you just have to go pick it up at the café. Free parking is offered in an underground garage.

Frankly, VERY pleased with all aspects of my stay. Great accommodating service, very good food and drinks and a very clean and comfortable room with an updated bathroom suit. In general it seems that all of the guests that I have encountered in the public areas of this hotel are friendly and respectable as well

Hotel is still great. Had a single king room for 3 nights, staying for work. Front desk and bar staff is great. Location is great for access to companies off Page Mill in Palo Alto. The fire pits out back are nice to relax after a long day.

good hotel on awesome place. Only thing that is really annoying to me is the receptionist lady I had when checking out on 08/23 around 9 am. She (a black lady) doesn’t really want to service me and with very bad attitude. I cannot believe this is the service I got in a 5 star Japanese style hotel. In comparison, all the other receptionists and valets are really nice, no complaints at all.

Great location. Restaurant downstairs is amazing with friendly staff and chef - they accommodated me even though I arrived 30 minutes before the kitchen closed and the food quality was still up to par. Valet parking is not available after like 10 PM, but I did not get a notification for that until the night of the second day, after I’ve checked out. Requested late checkout but still lost my keycard...

Amazing location. Perfect for meetings in Palo Alto. Walking distance to everything. Room was super comfortable, great ambience and comfort. Room size is definitely on the small side, I guess that gives the feeling of being in Tokyo. Love the light color wood and utilization of space. Water pressure was horrible for a $500 night hotel and I was on the 3rd floor, not that high. Nice sound quality and...

Nobu is always an excellent choice for staying in the premium/luxury segment. Nice clean rooms, clean and cozy bathrooms. As in many California places, you might be surprised by water pressure in showers because of regulations (after Texas, it's almost non-existent in California). Also, this location has only outsourced valet parking, and it works only until 10 PM. If you arrive later, you will have...

If I could give more than 5 stars on service, I would have done that. The staff’s attention to detail is amazing. Had an excellent experience checking in and checking out. Nobu in Palo Alto is a beautiful hotel with a wonderful cafe in a Japanese garden. I was there every morning during our 5-day stay at 7 am sharp. Breakfast in that peaceful garden is a perfect start to a busy day ahead. The rooms...

Service could get better. I have to ask every time for refills of coffee or water. The carpet in the room is too old. No business room or other amenities like sauna or hot tube or pool. More like boutique hotel. Quality of other stuff is good. I like the restrooms here. They have the lux toiletries

Stayed twice at this peaceful hotel twice. The rooms are spacious, the ambience beautiful and the staff very prompt and polite. I have been for an office off-site visit, and the hotel is conveniently located close to Menlo Park.

Fantastic, classic, pride of ownership hotel with active involvement of original ownership…One of my favorite hotels of any class, anywhere and I’ve stayed here dozens of times. If Four Seasons was at the same price I’d still stay here for its location, charm, gardens, and service. Restaurant is top of the line and it’s fun to see all the artwork from owners family and Palo Alto history. Rooms and...

Lovely boutique hotel with a Bohemian vibe. Friendly staff, fast check-in process, spacious rooms, and decent minibars. The decor is a bit outdated but the rooms and common areas are super clean. Also offers room service, has a large heated outdoor pool, and poolside restaurant with a bar.

Loved the room space and the beautiful pond and garden. Very comfortable, has a older Hawaii vibe to it.. Nice electric fireplace gave our room a wonderful glow and when you look out your window there's a pond with duck. At night the lights around the grounds gives a romantic vibe.. The shower was really small, there was an old smell in the room and they neeed to modernize the room more. Otherwise...

Dinah's is our favorite hotel in Mountain View. No fusses laid back area with lovely, clean rooms. Great customer service. We enjoyed room service and eating poolside for Thanksgiving. The food from the restaurant is delicious and reasonably priced. We will be back!

This is a place for relaxation, peace, meditation and healing. People from all over the world come to. They are known for 24/7 services. The pool is heated to 85 degrees year round and the food is very good. It's a place for Stanford University Hospital patients

Service is one of a kind here. They truly make you feel like you're the only guest staying with them.

This luxurious, all-inclusive establishment for executives is worth every penny. You surely feel you’re taken care of when staying there. My bed was so comfortable you feel like you are sleeping on clouds. Bathroom with heated floors and a nice bathtub is just another indication of this place’s attention to detail. Their lobby and restaurant were well designed and staffed. They CARE. Unfortunately...

During our recent stay at The Clement in Palo Alto, we were treated to an exceptional experience that exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that this boutique hotel offers a level of luxury and relaxation that truly stands out. The attention to detail was impeccable, with every aspect of our stay carefully curated to ensure a stress-free and indulgent experience. The...

My stay here was absolutely delightful. The rooms are amazing, the vibe is great. It's close to campus and the hotel has bicycles you can borrow to navigate around town without having to drive/Uber, so that was a godsend. It's also just in a lovely area. And so convenient to campus! The staff were amazing and made sure I enjoyed my stay.

Every visit to The Clement Palo Alto confirms its status as a premier destination for those who seek not just luxury, but also an intimate experience. Their team's dedication to discretion and personal attention provides the ideal environment for our operations, ensuring that our clients' privacy and comfort are prioritized. It's the unmatched attention to every detail that resonates so well with us...

This hotel is really top tier. All the employees, especially the ones at the reception treat you really like guests and not only like customers. The service is outstanding. The room is very probably the best I've been at a hotel. Everything is very comfortable and very clean. Definitely best bath room ever. The restaurant is very good, also the pantry is always filled with great food and beverages...

The Stanford Terrace Inn is big on charm but just short on modernity and upkeep. Much of the decor is run down and my room needed repairing/maintenance. The breakfast was tolerable but lacking any inspiration. For the price I certainly expect higher quality. But, the market for lodging in the area is ridiculously high anyway.

Only been there one evening but so far it's nice. Bed was comfortable, rooms are definitely very clean and staff was nice enough. I'll be there for a few more days so let's see if it gets better or worst... But so far so good.

It's really weird the rooms feel like they just took things in their house and put them there. I honestly was shocked by the old look of the rooms and the weird smells. I will try and avoid this place in the future . They're due for a major restoration

Nice and quaint place. Starbucks is just beside it. The breakfast is included and was good. Friendly staff too.

Second time I’ve stayed here and I keep hoping to like it more. The rooms have an overpowering air freshener scent and are all hard surfaces and so echoing and sterile. The common fire pit with daily wine tasting is a highlight and I wish the rooms had some of that ambiance. This stay was marred by endless clanking in the vents or (?) A bit noisy overall - paper thin walls. Check in and staff were...

Picked because of short distance to Stanford Medical for daughter who has mobility issues and uses a rollater walker and a wheelchair. The access to the facilities was not accessible on her own. Tables and seating was bunched together that made it impossible for her to access the fireplace in the outdoor communal patio. The room although accessible was at the farthest end from the communal patio. I...

I had room 106 by the outside patio and I could hear everyone. The AC in the room was loud too. A good quality hotel have quiet rooms, this is not it. The hotel is well renovated but on a poor foundation (thin walls…). Felt overpriced. My bathroom was not like the picture too. On a positive side, the staff was friendly and the outside patio was great.

Amazing customer service. I accidentally booked a room with one king via priceline.com. I meant to book a room with two queen beds. The booking I had was not refundable. After talking to Juno from the customer service, she understood our situation and she provided us a room with extra sofa bed. I admire Juno's outstanding hospitality and the hotel is super clean. I highly recommend this place.

Motel style setup. Included breakfast is very limited in quantity with so so quality. Staff I met was pleasant to interact with.

Clean, modern rooms and friendly staff. Locating quiet. However, rooms were lacking microwaves, even by request. Also, they told me I would have a coffee machine in my room but I did not.

Nice hotel downtown, right above a restaurant. Could not try the breakfast as it opened too late for me to be on time for my meeting.

Update - the amenities list is now correctly showing no air conditioning. Thanks! Original review - Google says it is air conditioned. IT IS NOT!!! The owner needs to see that corrected ASAP. Palo Alto may have had historically wonderful weather, but climate change is real, and if the 90+ temperatures at the end of this September is a portent, the Cardinal needs to consider AC for the future. ...

Located in what I think is the heart of Palo Alto, minutes from Stanford's campus, it would be hard to find a better location. Parking is a little tricky, but doable, with a garage pass option for currently $25/day. The Cardinal is a quirky, old hotel with a lot of character. Like an elevator with the outside door you have to open and close. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice. Beds...

It is a charming 1924-style boutique hotel with friendly staff located in a century-old apartment building and lots of old-world charm throughout. From clock, safe, and phone booths to the elevator and staircases, you feel like you transponded back in history. Rooms are modern and comfortable though. We had a room with a private bathroom, can't imagine otherwise, but I've seen people using a shared...

Quaint European style hotel. Just stayed a night for an interview. Clean and affordable for area with communal bathrooms.

Great service, beautiful old building, and A great location. There are some issues with it being a old building, and the beds were not comfortable to me. Other than that, great experience.

I spent here 4. We came for a conference in Stanford. We were extremely positively struck by this Hotel. It’s by fair the best in its category I’ve been in. There were no issues at all, the room is big and clean, the AC was new, the complimentary food and the cleaning services were perfect, they have complimentary laundry services (they make it for you and deliver). Everything really exceptional. The...

We needed a handicap accessible room, but the Inn only had one. The managers were kind enough to ask the guests who had already rented it if they actually needed the accommodations. As they did not, the Inn gave them another room (at a discount) and gave us the room we required. Everything was clean and great! The beverages and snacks were a wonderful treat. The managers were friendly, thoughtful and...

This classic motel has been remodeled with all the modern-day amenities that one could ask for. I booked the last room the afternoon of our stay for four nights and was first impressed by the reasonable pricing for the area. Upon arrival the young man in the office was warm, caring, professional, and welcoming too. The room was tastefully decorated and immaculately clean. You have all the convivences...

Deserves much more than 5 stars. The room was perfect, very quiet and comfortable. Enjoyed the outdoor seating area for fresh air, water features and beautiful plantings. You forget your on a main thoroughfare. Staff very friendly and accommodating! When we needed to extend stay, and no rooms were available they made all arrangements for our stay at another hotel. Making a potentially stressful situation...

We stayed here while receiving medical treatment at Stanford Hospital. The owner and cleaning staff were very helpful and accommodating to our needs. The rooms have been completely remodeled. Even though the hotel is right off a major road, the rooms are quiet at night and we didn't hear any noise from neighboring rooms. There is a lovely patio with outdoor furniture and water features where we spent...

Was very pleasantly surprised by this place.  Remodeled rooms were nice looking, although kind of small for two people (especially the king room). But the place was immaculately clean...no obsessively clean. Check-out the photo of the housekeeping staff cleaning the rafters on the upper level...never seen that before!! The staff was courteous and helpful and did their best to accommodate our every...

Enjoyed our one night here, comfortable beds, coffee in the room, and very convenient location. Super clean! Fridge and microwave included.

The personnel was helpful and friendly, the rooms were clean, and the service was excellent. They had a wide variety of breakfast options, including smoothies and parfaits with fresh fruit and yogurt, which I liked. It was wonderful that they also have a comfortable lounge area away from the lobby where you could watch a movie. What's not to love about this place? They even serve freshly baked chocolate...

This was our first time staying here and we loved it. The hotel is conveniently located near the Stanford campus which is why we close this location. The rooms were clean and we had safe, covered parking.

A decent hotel, although it's more like a motel. Breakfast is ok, although there could be some greater variety (you will end up eating the same stuff every day). One night I couldn't sleep because of loud music from the room upstairs, I had to call the hotel staff to come and tell them to stop. Room is spacious and has good comfort for its price. Staff very friendly and helpful. Wifi worked fine.

Amazing complimentary breakfast every morning, great customer service and nice, clean rooms filled with amenities. Would definitely stay here again!

Awesome, clean, inexpensive, low frills (free breakfast and wifi, small workout room, no pool, no room service), terrific little place to hang your hat for a few nights!

1. refrigirator in my room was hard to open because it was leveled below the kitchen floor. 2. general feeling is that everything (furniture, utensils, air conditioning) is very old and basic.

Small hotel with small rooms to match. Fine for my short stay but other great options in the area. Great location a short walk away from University Ave and many shops and restaurants. Ok breakfast with Nespresso coffee and wine reception from 5-6pm.

Nice hotel Friendly staff. Great location. Oddly weird feature there was no door to the bathroom in a standard room. The toilet and shower was in full view to the rest of the room. Also there were no drawers or shelves to put personal items.

Keen has one of the best locations in Palo Alto. They did a nice renovation and it looks great at face value, however there are still a few hints that it is a very old building such as the windows.

Quiet and comfortable but zero amenities and tiny rooms. They should add coffee makers at least. Silly not to include such a thing.

Room was quite small; walls were a bit thin, so you can hear noises from the hallway and the rooms next to you. There is a curtain instead of a door to the bathroom. The dry-erase marker compatible walls are cool though! Overall, a reasonable place for an individual or a couple to stay in Palo Alto.

Booking Pro Tip: If you need a closet or any storage space at all get a premium/deluxe room. Living out of a suitcase? Any other room is fine. 😅

I landed and got here late night. Like any comfort inn except as pricey as a hotel. Maybe it was the day of week or before a long weekend that I stayed. The amenities were minimal. Room was average. Enjoyed the waffles and yogurt with granola for breakfast both days. Stay if you have to. Avoid if you have the luxury.

~$99 includes $10 "service fee", Tuesday night during winter break, no school. 2 big holes top bed sheet. Scuffs & scrapes around both doors. New carpet. Room is clean. Fridge & microwave. Remote does not work to turn on tv, other buttons don't work. 1 light bulb missing sink area. Breakfast 7-9:30am. Missing makeup mirror. 10 HBO channels. Coffee machine in room. 3 stars from me. 3.5 from...

My time at this hotel was amazing. The room was clean and comfortable. I am 20 years old and I was scared that I was not going to be able to get a room for myself, but the lady in the counter was really nice and told me to not worry about it. The stay also includes breakfast which was very diverse. It includes waffles, yogurts, cereal, coffee, orange juice, water and toasted bread. I will defined...

Got a room on the ground floor. The room was alright. Clean. Very very basic Amenities. I was hoping though for more privacy, the rooms were clearly visible to everyone outside and not private. Also the staff could be more friendly.

Good for what you pay for, however I lost my belt and they couldn't find it. Very odd. Staff was great other than that.

Very nice hotel. Very clean. Room was on the small side but the bed was extremely comfortable and the pillows were wonderful. Short walking distance to pizza, convenience store and 24 hour donut shop that also serves burgers and breakfast sandwiches. Also a short drive to Veterans Administration hospital. It is pet friendly but clean. They serve the typical free breakfast and there are also two vending...
