Having a restaurant on-site was very convenient and we enjoyed dining there. Staff were courteous and so glad reservations were made at this hotel - plan to stay again soon!!
Room was clean. Staff was nice. Breakfast was not included. Also took me 3 go backs to the staff to get my door fixed. The batteries were low. So it would work once- then lock me out. They eventually fixed it. Just frustrating. Other than that what I expected …clean and quiet …
Very convenient to Stanford Hospital. Good food, wonderful breakfast, great room

Property was nice and staff were great. The indoor heated pool was nice but was way over capacity. People had the back door propped out and it felt like people not staying at the hotel were swimming. There was about 50 people all from one family there making it miserable for my family.
Pretty nice compared to last place we stayed at down the street. Here for business. It was surprisingly quiet (we don’t live in a city) and the people were friendly. Will come again next time we have to stay in Palo Alto
