Top Stanford University Arboretum Hotel Reviews

el PRADO

10/10 Excellent

"Very impressed by this place. The details and cleanliness were excellent! Thank you!"

Menlo Park Inn

10/10 Excellent

"A classic Motel with an urban vibe. Cool!! Loved the retro-feel in the rooms, very clean and comfortable, modern elements added to a classic set up. Well done!"

Hotel Lucent

10/10 Excellent

"The Hotel Lucent will be a favorite in my travel folder moving forward. Quiet property despite being on a main street and close to everything you need. Whether you are traveling on business or for personal reasons, Hotel Lucent will meet and exceed your needs. Exceptionally clean, modern, they make excellent use of space and everything is well laid out. Free parking (although I did not need it), great location for ride share or a short walk to the nearest CalTrain station (Menlo Park) or short bus ride to Palo Alto (bus stop is directly steps in front of the hotel). Safeway literally next door with convenient refrigerator in room, 24/7 coffee/tea/cocoa machine in the lobby area. FREE breakfast, a good one with excellent options for snacks and juice to grab and go. Snack bar on consumption for late nights (pay at front desk which is 24/7). Nice touch for the front desk staff to give you a quick tour of the property features as they show you the way to your room. Quiet, clean…even a 24/7 cold/hot water dispenser near the exercise area with its own light for convenience! Useful amenities in the rooms. Great sleep. Again this property is located on a main street with lots of activity but I never heard any of it from my room which was located on the second floor very near the street facing side. Everyone on staff was courteous and helpful. So pleasant. This trip for me was a last minute personal one. Hote Lucent was really affordablr, though I only stayed one night. Thanks"

The Cardinal Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clean and really well located in downtown."

Clement Palo Alto – All-Inclusive Urban Resort

10/10 Excellent

"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!"

Hotel Keen

10/10 Excellent

"Great boutique hotel in the heart of old downtown Palo Alto"

Crowper Inn

8/10 Good

"The grounds of Cowper Inn are lovely, the location is superb, and felt very safe. Hugo was very kind and helpful. The property consists of two large, historic looking mansions, side by side on a street corner. The lock on our suite wasn't working, so we were moved to a ground floor suite on the street corner, which was louder than I had hoped. The house we were moved to reminded me of a hostel (only nicer) in that there were several individual rooms, with a shared seating area and kitchen. Our suite had a private bathroom, I'm not sure what the single rooms are like. My 13 yo daughter really liked our suite, as did I, though I didn't sleep very well due to the noise, and I was grumpy that there was no coffee in the room or kitchen (there were devices to make coffee, just no coffee itself). I would stay again, with the expectation that I might need to be flexible. I should add that this could be a perfect place to stay for people who enjoy the aspects of a shared space, but want something nicer and more peaceful than a hostel."

The Westin Palo Alto

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it all, except you do have to pay for parking nightly which was a surprise, and I think staying at a hotel should include the parking free of charge."

Graduate by Hilton Palo Alto

10/10 Excellent

"Charming"
