Top Stanford University Arboretum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Lucent

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel very clean and convenient."

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."

Menlo Park Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent choice if you are going to Palo Alto / Stanford for business or pleasure. Easy parking, clean rooms, comfortable beds and great breakfast!"

Oasis to Love in Downtown Palo Alto #659

10/10 Excellent

"Super nice, roomy unit in great location!"

Crowper Inn

8/10 Good

"The grounds of Cowper Inn are lovely, the location is superb, and felt very safe. Hugo was very kind and helpful. The property consists of two large, historic looking mansions, side by side on a street corner. The lock on our suite wasn't working, so we were moved to a ground floor suite on the street corner, which was louder than I had hoped. The house we were moved to reminded me of a hostel (only nicer) in that there were several individual rooms, with a shared seating area and kitchen. Our suite had a private bathroom, I'm not sure what the single rooms are like. My 13 yo daughter really liked our suite, as did I, though I didn't sleep very well due to the noise, and I was grumpy that there was no coffee in the room or kitchen (there were devices to make coffee, just no coffee itself). I would stay again, with the expectation that I might need to be flexible. I should add that this could be a perfect place to stay for people who enjoy the aspects of a shared space, but want something nicer and more peaceful than a hostel."
