Top Stanford University Arboretum Hotel Reviews

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."

The Westin Palo Alto

10/10 Excellent

"I will return thank you"

Hotel Keen

10/10 Excellent

"Great thankyou for the stay"

Clement Palo Alto – All-Inclusive Urban Resort

10/10 Excellent

"A very pleasant stay at this hotel…nice and quiet staff is super friendly and best of all its all inclusive. Service wise this is better than the four seasons palo alto"

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."
