Beautiful and fun hotel. Nice location. Make a point to check out the rooftop bar. F&B pricey, but that’s par for the course in Palo Alto. I wish they had a “normal” coffee pot in the room vs a fancy pour over and free lobby coffee would be nice. We hope to return next year.

Great location and fun decor. The hotel was not as crisp as it was a couple years ago when I stayed there. Most notable the carpet on the stairs was tattered and the elevator was tired. The rooftop bar was closed for a private event and no restaurant was open when we arrived in the afternoon both of which were disappointing and made it difficult to use the resort credit. Also - wish they had a small gym.

Room was quite clean. Staff was helpful at the desk. Curiously, there were no water glasses in the room, but the staff did not recognize that as an error or unusual. We did have water bottles (2) in the room. The breakfast was excellent but the service for breakfast was weak for the level of the accommodation and its price. Breakfast orders were taken at the entry counter and delivered to tables but without any subsequent inquiry as to whether additional service or items or even salt and pepper could be provided. The food, however, was well-prepared such as it was. Nice hotel, but a couple of things need tweaking to bring it to the level that would be justified by the nightly rate.
