Top Stanford University Arboretum Hotel Reviews

Menlo Park Inn

8/10 Good

"A nice stay, staff was pleasant, room was clean and well equipped - breakfast was just fine. I stay here when I can - never a problem"

Best Western Plus Riviera

8/10 Good

"An excellent value in a very expensive area. The breakfast included in the price offered many items, including small omelets, waffles, and machines with excellent juices and coffees. Two slight negatives: 1. The driveway off a very busy street is narrow and hard to find on the way in; on the way out traffic visibility is tricky. 2. Reception is tiny with only one person at the desk."

Hotel Keen

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast exceeded expectations, highlights were the Nespresso coffee, chia bowl, rosemary potatoes, cheese omelets, and the smoked salmon. They have a few loaner bikes which I made daily use of to get to and around campus. Dozens of eateries and the Stanford Theater (<$10 for a double feature!) are within a radius of a few blocks. It's a 2 block walk to the train station, Margarite Shuttle, and Palm Drive. I feel like I discovered the hidden gem of Palo Alto hotels!! I plan to stay at Hotel Keen now for all my upcoming trips to Palo Alto."

Oasis to Love in Downtown Palo Alto #659

8/10 Good

"This was a great house for our group. The location is wonderful with easy access to downtown Palo Alto and the Stanford campus. The house is nicely decorated with comfortable beds. I'm always annoyed at rentals that ration towels and bedding, so I didn't love only being allocated one towel and not having any throw blankets, etc. around, but it didn't detract from our stay. The kitchen was adequate, but sparsely appointed. The window AC units weren't quite up to the job of dealing with the unusual heat during our stay, but that's probably not typically an issue. The WiFi also wasn't working, but when I let the host know, they provided a different WiFi option immediately (it was my own fault for not reaching out sooner). All in all, the house was perfect for our needs, and the location was fantastic."
