Top Old Palo Alto Hotel Reviews

The Ameswell Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is the place your wife wants you to stay after a very long road trip and you’re looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay the night. This was our second time staying here, and we look forward to making this our regular stay whenever we’re in the area for business. The staff are always friendly, the rooms are always clean, and the beds are always comfortable."

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Francisco Airport Waterfront

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property. Amazing location. Only negative was the service, or lack there of, at the bar/restaurant. Super disappointed. The restaurant was not full, in fact many open seats, and it took almost 15 minutes for someone to take our order and then another 30 minutes to get kids chicken strips and a bowl of soup."

Sonesta Silicon Valley

8/10 Good

"Good overall! It’s a one and done for me. Didn’t realize but it’s right off a freeway and have to drive 20 to 40 minutes to get to any restaurants in the area. Can hear traffic from the room. Liked the ample parking it is at $19/night. The room layout was nice. Bathroom with separate shower and bathtub option. Good water pressure. Modern and sleek. Clean bedding/towels. Comfy beds. Disliked the stained old carpet. Took away from the stay. Buffet meager. Not worth the $30 for me. Maybe because there was a tour group staying there who went through it. Pool right off the dining area. Nice size. Staff friendly!"
