"This is a great property if you have a dog with its private yard and grass area. It’s also VERY close to downtown. Negatives…dead ants, tree sheds sticky leaves that stick to everything. I would rent again!"

Aparthotel

Mint House Menlo Park by Kasa

Menlo Park

"It was a beautiful room very clean exactly as described. The only issue was the check out; checkout was stated to be at 11:00 am but while I was out around 9:00 am my brother said that workers were banging on the door to the room and that they opened the door themselves to tell him it was time to leave. We basically got kicked out 2 hours early with no choice."

Top Palo Alto Hotel Reviews

Leland Hotel Palo Alto

10/10 Excellent

"good"

Creekside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I visited the Creekside Inn as a solo traveler. As a woman, it's always scary to go to new places alone, but I felt very comfortable in my room. The staff were very nice when I checked in and checked out, and I would definitely recommend choosing this location. There were plenty of places to park around my room and it was easy to navigate. As for breakfast, I only went on my last day but if you just need a quick bite to eat, they certainly have some nice options. Mini cereals, apples, bananas, coffee/tea, and pastries. It's not a huge assortment with all the fixings but I didn't see that as an issue! The scenery was beautiful! It's called Creekside for a reason! I would definitely choose this place again!"
