The Zen Hotel Palo Alto

10/10 Excellent

"good service"

Leland Hotel Palo Alto

10/10 Excellent

"I was grateful that the staff reached out to me the day before my check-in. When I called the next day to inform them of my late arrival, they gave me clear and helpful instructions for accessing my room. The property was easy to locate, featuring plenty of parking and convenient room entry straight from the parking lot. The room was spotless, the bed was comfortable, the flooring is lvp so there was no annoying bad smell coming from old carpet, and the HVAC system operated quietly. I would definitely stay at Leland again without a second thought."
