8/10 Good
"The stay was great. The area was nice nothing to complain about but our shower. The tub was clogged and it was too late to do anything about it. Had to wait a while for the water to drain before my husband could shower. We stayed here because of a wedding so didn’t have much time to do anything about this. Told the front staff about the issue when we were checking out but they didn’t care to offer any compensation or discount for the clogged tub. Just a little disappointed."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Central Portola Valley?
The best time to go to Central Portola Valley is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) months.

Spring in Portola Valley offers pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities. The hillsides are lush and green after the winter rains, and wildflowers are in bloom. This is a great time for hikers and cyclists to explore the numerous trails, such as those in Windy Hill Open Space Preserve, which provide stunning views of the Silicon Valley.
