Booked this to attend Stanford graduation. Thought that being this close to the campus would help minimize drive times to events etc.. Unfortunately, the traffic lights on El Camino Real are so poorly synced that it took three times as long to get places as it should have. Nothing special about this hotel. Turns out proximity was of no benefit as well.

I’ve stayed here several times because of its proximity to Stanford. It’s a decent place but nothing special. I was a bit surprised when they charged me an additional $17 “amenities fee” this time to cover things like breakfast, parking, the pool, etc.

Hotel was nice, although we chose it based on photos with the beautiful little creek and the creek was dry.. room itself felt a bit outdated but clean. Not much to do in the surrounding areas if you are there for leisure, but we needed a place to stay for a show near by. Very quiet, parking was easy, there is a deli on site.. breakfast and coffee in the lobby. Did enjoy the lovely little patio/balcony where I had my morning coffee, bet it’s lovely when the creek has water. Didn’t have much time to explore more of the property, so did not see the pool .. but would love to have a chance to come back and see the hotel as shown.

As a solo female traveler, feeling safe is always important, and this hotel exceeded my expectations. Not only was it safe, but the staff was nice, the property was beautiful and my room was clean and spacious. Bathroom was a good size, microwave and fridge were clean, and the balcony had a pretty view. Lots of greenery with water stations too. I would definitely stay here again. And as someone who went to the Coldplay show at Stanford stadium, I was able to hop on the bus and get dropped off about a block or less away from the hotel. The deli market on the property is adorable too with the best chai latte. Definitely staying here again.

As a VIP member of Expedia, it was nice to have a bottle of wine waiting for me. But does view of street and parking lot my room view? What about the little pool view or dried up creek view? Not accommodating me to have an hour late checkout is not VIP service. Only thing this little hotel has as a plus is the adjacent Brazilian steakhouse on the other side of the lobby.
