"I’ll try a different place when I’m back on Palo Alto. The bed was very hard, the thermostat couldn’t be adjusted, and there was quite a lot of noise from other rooms and the parking lot. But there is a Starbucks next door, so much can be forgiven."

"Absolutely loved this place! Was worth every penny & more! Staff was amazing, resort was clean & room was very comfortable! Food was excellent, the only thing I didn't like was that it was the same menu for lunch & dinner ever day we were there. Wish they had had more options. Will definitely be back!"
