I have stayed here before, and I will again. This is our go-to hotel for visits to Palo Alto. On one side, you have the busy street with amenities, but on the other side, you'll find a lovely natural setting with well-tended gardens in a beautiful neighborhood. We love the natural setting and the spaciousness. We enjoyed the balcony above the creek. Parking is free and easy.

Lovely weekend away.

I stayed in a Deluxe King over looking the beautiful blooming garden area and the creek. I had a private patio were I could sit outside listen to the birds sing and have a relaxing evening. My bed was comfortable. It was very quiet so I was able to sleep well. This is my second time staying here and not my last.
