Top Stanford University Arboretum Hotel Reviews

Menlo Park Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and comfy. It came with a tv, microwave, fridge, bath essentials such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand soap. There were slippers, eye mask and ear plugs. There were also robes available hanging in the closet section. As far as the area is in middle of restaurants and stores. At night there were people walking around maybe going to eat or grab a drink somewhere. It was very nice, peaceful, and chill. They offered a free beverage when checking in and free breakfast in the morning. They had oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, coffee, and pastries. Staff was very nice and booking was very fast and easy."

Sheraton Palo Alto Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful clean rooms with nice view of the gardens"

The Stanford Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff, location and the large rooms were wonderful. I also loved the dining and live music in the lovely courtyard/patio. This is a hotel I love to come back to!"

The Cardinal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Old world architecture & ambiance, clean room, friendly helpful staff. Superb location to walk to restaurants and shopping."

Hotel Lucent

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 3 nights - Friday breakfast was terrific but Saturday and Sunday were not as good. I'm not sure why they took away some lovely breakfast items and replaced them with much lesser quality items for the weekend. Not good. And we were told breakfast started at 6am but then on the weekend we were told that it started at 7a. They should have told us that when we checked in since they knew we were staying 3 nights. We had events every morning that required us to leave at 6:50a - not helpful. The room was nice - could have used a sitting chair (it had one desk chair but nothing else other than the bed) but overall a comfortable room."
