Top Stanford Theatre Hotel Reviews

Creekside Inn

8/10 Good

"The property is ok. It is old. The room needs to be renovated and updated it is in a safe area. Best part was the 2 front desk clerks who were wonderful."

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."

2BR Home in Menlo Park Near Stanford University!

10/10 Excellent

"The property was conveniently located for our visit to Stanford and also for visiting the San Francisco tourist areas. The home was extremely clean, beds were very comfortable and the amenities were above and beyond. We would definitely stay again! Highly recommended!"

Luxury Oasis Steps from Palo Alto and Stanford, Chef's Kitchen, Landscaped Yard

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here while in the Palo Alto area for a family wedding - it was a wonderful home base for a very busy and memorable week.We were relatively new to VRBO and contacted the owners a few times early on. Each time they were responsive, informative and genuinely caring. That continued after we left: I realized I had left behind my fitness tracker band, and they took the time to locate it and put it in the mail to me. That kind of thoughtfulness says a lot about the hosts.The home is beautiful, comfortable and inviting, inside and out. It was exceptionally clean, well-appointed and stocked with everything we needed. Bedrooms have convenient access to power for your devices, and there are several good spots to open a laptop if needed.The neighborhood is incredibly peaceful and quiet, with welcoming streets for walking, running or biking. The front and back outdoor spaces are surrounded by beautiful plants and trees, with frequent hummingbird sightings.Downtown Palo Alto is walkable for restaurants, shopping or coffee, while the highway is nearby and convenient for trips to San Francisco or San Jose, yet you can't hear it from the house.Beautiful home, peaceful setting, excellent location and thoughtful hosts. We would happily stay here again."
